Yah, the Capris had all of the cat stuff too. They even had a red version of the Black Magic that was called the Crimson Cat. :hick:

I think these are pretty cool. I don't see why Mercury never made a notchback Capri.

This actually isn't a Capri, it's a Mexican Mustang. You can find these all day long in Mexico. It's basically a Mustang with a Capri front end and taillights.

wtf

seen that while i was looking for the one I bought.. I think the vert capris are butt-fack ugly, but that is just my opinion

i couldnt agree more,, the exterior is great until you get around back and the tail lights / lines seem like someones practiacal joke. The side profile looks great along with the wheels,, then you zoom in on the upright for the windshield and there is a huge gap in the body seam forward of those mirrors that just dont seem to fit right. Looks like that car got all the extra parts from days gone by including that high tech ford exp display showing you the image of the vehicle and lil lights that come on when there is a problem.

toss the interior, and maybe it would be a nice looking ride.

To boot,, that car is for sale among those in the background. It reaks of "todays garbage to throw out is....." The car just looks totally out of place among those classics.

All around opinon on the car is .,,,
The exterior is a 10 for its age and class
Wheels are real nice
interior sux assberries
motor,, hey,, its an HO with a light body so its gotta be decent.

My opinion,,, overall i give it a 6 / 10.

When these cars were new, there was a kid locally who ordered one. From what I was told, he had the only black/tan ASC McLaren Capri out of the ~40 made. I've never been able to verify that but it was a sweet machine.

i dont think those rims belong on that car, at all

Originals were BBS lacy rims. These OZ rims don't look bad though.

Also...I'm surprised nobody said anything but the mirrors were replaced with those from a Cougar. The originals were Mustang-spec convertible mirrors. Strange.

BTW, for all of you who promote purple power,,, this is the color you get when you use it in blue interior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the lighting on the showroom has a lot to do with the tinted look of the interior. If there was a flash in the photos, the interior would probably look a lot more real-life. It's still blue FTW.

Nothing a set of taillight covers couldn't fix.

In fact...IIRC the ASC cars *should* have had clear taillight covers. Not positive but I remember that being one of the highlights.

So when the ASC cars were converted over to their specs, they were given a slightly more raked windshield. There was a special machine that grabbed the panel above the windshield, right by the A-pillars, and just gave the metal a quick pull. Then ASC made these covers to go over the A-pillars and windshield header to, um, cover that up.

I kind of like the extra trim on top of the doors and rear quarters also. And the Mercedes-style top was always one of my favs too. As of a creation as the Car Craft Cougar is, though, the ASC McLaren is still goofier...

The steering wheel in that car is the optional one. The standard wheels did not have a provision for cruise control, so when cruise control was ordered, the normal Capri wheel was used, although it got wrapped in leather.

The standard steering wheel was the same wheel that came in a Mustang SVO except it had a different center pad that was embossed with "5.0 SC" on the convertibles and "ASC/McLaren" on the '84-'86 Coupes (hatchbacks).

'84-'86 Coupes came with the gound effects & covers as standard equipment, but it was an option on the convertibles.

ASC/McLaren convertibles, were available with a "Performance Decor Package" that included a ground effects package, floor mats, headlight & taillight covers.
The covers actually have a light smoke tint to them.

Here is a picture of a white convertible with the Performance Decor Package option, and the correct wheels.
The rear decklid spoiler was added by someone.
