That's a beautiful ride. Post more pictures!
Will get more pics. It is a GS. I have the original paper work and the 1st owner had alot of options added. I do have alot on my to do list, first it to find out why she is running so rich. My wife was in the chase car on the way home and for 3 hrs she was gaging on fumes. Second is to replace a door seals. I know the 2nd owner removed the cats added an h pipe and is running through glass packs.
I have a really good paper trail and all the original Capri owners manual, warrenty book and some other stuff with some cool history back to my teenage years.
Car has a front lower air dam. Not available on the GS.
Car has charcoal lower paint. Not available on the GS.
Car has charcoal window trim. Not available on the GS.
Car has articulated sport seats. Not available in the GS.
Despite probably having a "GS" badge on the hatch it is not one. It is a Capri 5.0L (formerly Capri RS).
Look at the buck tag. It will have a "CRS" code. CRS = Capri RS

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 does idle too high, and rough. So i know i have some work cut out for me. Engine wise i was told it was all original but .30 over with a mid cam. will get more pics up hopefully by this evening.
I stand corrected. I found the buck tag and it is an RS
Omigosh that's nice! Detail the engine bay a little and enter it in some local car shows.
Thanks. Might be ready by next spring.
