    Default 1979 mercury Capri rs, black magic ?

    I have a 1979 merucry Capri rs, it is a original 302 4speed I was just wondering if it came with dual exhaust or did it come with just a single exhaust, and if it came with dual exhaust how did the exhaust pipe on the passengers side go over the rear axle and clear the control arms
    I am also wondering did they make black magic Capri's in 79 ?
    Thanks

    All 79-84 mustangs and capris were single exhaust then 85 models had duals from muffler back except 85 throttle body cars had single exhaust and 86 up true duals

    Early '85 CFI had '84 exhaust. Late '85 CFI had '85 4V exhaust. The change-over from "early" to "late" was November 18-19, 1984.

    The only rust I have found is surface rust, which is good, I would hate to have to part it if it was to far gone ! I believe It has original paint also
    The one thing I am missing is the "I" on the hood, I have seen a few that are missing the "I" must be common haha

    These guys are pretty respectable:

    I don't have the emblems, but others have recommended them for other parts.

    Not a Black Magic I'm afraid, as they were only built from 1981 through 1983. RS models were definitely built in 1979 and so if you give FoxChassis your VIN number he'll do a job on it, or better still, use his VIN decoder (hereunder) to identify your very nice restorer project!
