Congrats!!! Looks like a good save
That car is in great shape, congratulations.
Brings back memories. I had one much like it; color, trim, sick cylinder auto. A 5.0 is just what it needs.
Nice find. Option K wheels and trim rings are all intact too!

Thanks all, when I saw it, I had to buy it. Solid floors, rails, doors and basically everything. Interior is intact and pretty good but will need dash pad, speaker grills and a few other small items. I have sourced 87+ brakes and so forth will probably leave the stock rear as the motor going in is a stock HO.
Nice find, love those rims. Had set on my very first -eye....

Very cool catch of the day.

Pending build-1983 Mercury Capri RS NOT staying as it left the showroom floor......
Sonic blue pearl, sand beige, netted halos, FR500 wheels and shiny under the hood.
It has these add on door window trim pieces I have never seen before but it appears to be on the invoice. I am guessing sans the screw holes.
Found this in the car:
The trim on the doors and quarter panel under the windows was an OEM option. I have the same trim on my 79 PC, and I often see the trim on convertible models. I am sure FoxChassis will educate us on what option or trim package they were offered with.

Update:
The I6 runs perfectly, no noise, knocks or smoking, but the C4 is leaking badly around the pump but the car will move. I6 runs so well I believe I will rebuild the C4, clean engine bay, repaint, do a few interior repairs and call it a day. Best thing is, no rust top or bottom.
I have modified the paint code and replaced the fine metallic with a medium; should make the paint a bit brighter in the sun. I will be restoring the original 14" wheels and keeping them on the car for now, any idea how much tire I can get on these rims?
I’m just sitting here admiring the blue interior.
It is a change from black or red but it is a lot of blue. Was thinking of going black on the carpet since it needs replacing anyhow.
Nice find
This was my first car but had the 2.3 and was primered with family dollar rattle can 1.00/can paint to cover rust
Floor boards ??who needs floor boards
Chicks didn't know much more than it was a mustang lol
Seriously nice car and good find so much potential right there
Axle is most likely a 6.75", so search out a 7.5 or 8.8 from that 87.
I'll PM you. Earlier 3.3's are really clean engines, and I ship containers from Compton LA.
