cougar and capri united

2 years after selling my 86 capri i finally got some
exterior pics of it at the jays cruise last night.
set it with my XR7 for a couple too.upper paint is all
original. new owner takes it to a show now and then
and drives it about as much as i did.

I'm starting to think the Capri lamps, grill and hood would look good on the 88 XR7, if you covered the head lamps in the same style as the grill and made them open and close.

See the last pic of post one.

i always had a thing for Mercury equivalents....more rare and interesting i think.  The Cyclone Spoiler II from 1970-71 and Cougar Eliminator from 69-70 are my fave mercs of all time.  Nice car........  David

I definitely like it more than the Mustangs of the same era, even if much is shared.

Yep. Guys at work made fun of me for having a 86 5.0L capri. I loved it. Then I sold it. Now I want one again.
