    Default Crimson Cat years

    Was there a 1984 Crimson Cat? I found a guy that is selling a 1984 RS. He sent me pics and the exterior is red but faded, the interior is black with red inserts in the seat. The dash over the glove box door has an RS sticker on it. The car has been sitting for 10 years. Looks to be a 5.0L engine, 4 barrel carb with dual inlet air cleaner and a manual trans. Just not sure of it is a 4 speed or 5 speed. He did not send a buck tag pic or vin but I don't want him to find out it is something more then what he thinks he has.

    Thanks Guys

    The Crimson Cat was built only in 1983 with about 803 units. The Crimson Cat replaced the very rare 1983 Mercury Capri Black Magic some time in Jan . of 1983. The Crimson Cat had special pin striping, trim and wheels All have red bodies and interiors.

    Hope this Helps

    Maybe the seller is mistaken on the model year. Black was not available as an interior color in 1984.

    Its an 83 Capri CC. The frost plug is out of the engine so I am suspecting it froze the coolant in the block. The engine may be shot. If I get this car I want to restore it back to original. I think it might be worth more to someone then me doing a coyote swap to it.
