Newly restored Mach 1

I did'nt know there was Capri's overthere.. They are very nice! We have several of them here in Denmark, but they are very rare, you don't see them often anymore.. In Denmark they are only called Ford Capri, I think Ford in Europe made them, or am I wrong?

That's right - they were re-badged as Mercury products here, but were Fords in the European market.

Hardly any here to start with. It didn't appeal to the American market in the same manner it did in the UK.

Okay, I did'nt know that,. I could imagine that they would never be that popular on the American market as they were here in Europe.. It's a small car verses American cars from the same time.. But I never thought they would go as a Mercury, but really nice to learn something new..

Kurt... I'm also a big fan of the 70s woodgrain look... Just NOT on this car. One of my favorites was the cougar woodgrain dash. My Dad had a 73 (I think) Mercury Capri... Try to find one of those today. That was a cool car...

There's a 32k-mile original on Craigslist here:

Sure, no problem*.

Jokes aside, I'd be more than happy to look at/facilitate this Capri for anyone here on the forum.

Thanks Kurt... if I had the garage space I might have taken you up on that offer.
