1980 Advanced Product Highlights
It is always fun and interesting to read literature from back then. When I was driving a '76 Mercury Capri (import) 2.8 liter, 4 speed manual.
Thanks for posting,
Later.

Mike, any pics of the roof mountedluggage rack?? Seems kinda strange, I don't ever remember seeing one. Also, if you bought a stripped 4cyl. does this mean it had drum brakes on the front??? I thought they were all power discs by then.
Yeah, I have a pic of the luggage rack...it's in the accessory books....which are not online.
No idea on the drum brakes. Maybe Ford scrapped them before actual production.

I think manual disks on the base cars were available through 81. Of course the 9" disks don't stop much better than drums.

No Fox Mustang/Capri came with front drums. I don't think any Fox anything ever did. Power brakes was an option early on as said above.
