It had four different tires, a wee-tiny 4-cylinder engine and one blown speaker in the center of the dash that was connected to a stock AM only radio. The car was a total shit-box, but to me it was the greatest thing ever. Unfortunately I ended up crashing it soon after I got it, but for some odd reason I still miss it. Now obviously in the mid-1980&#8242;s the Mustang GT 5.0 was the King of the block, however if you were a bit sly, you would&#8217;ve opted for the Mercury Capri GS. It packed the same 5.0L mill as the Mustang, but came equipped with a wicked bull-nose front end and an awesome aero-style hatchback. The one you are seeing here is bone stock, has a mere 29,000 miles on the clock and if I had the money I would&#8217;ve purchased it by now. These old fox bodies are becoming harder and harder to find in stock shape, so if you&#8217;re smart, you&#8217;ll scoop this sucker up immediately! <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ebaymotors\/1985-Mercury-Capri-GS-5-0-Mercury-Capri-GS-\/130893469452?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&#038;hash=item1e79dbd70c\">eBayMotors.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-96516\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1985MercuryCapriGS_3.jpg?resize=600%2C429\" alt=\"1985MercuryCapriGS_3\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-96566\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1985MercuryCapriGS_2.jpg?resize=600%2C311\" alt=\"1985MercuryCapriGS_2\" width=\"600\" height=\"311\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-96567\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1985MercuryCapriGS_4.jpg?resize=600%2C443\" alt=\"1985MercuryCapriGS_4\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-96565\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1985MercuryCapriGS_5.jpg?resize=600%2C421\" alt=\"1985MercuryCapriGS_5\" width=\"600\" height=\"421\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-96564\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1985MercuryCapriGS_6.jpg?resize=600%2C427\" alt=\"1985 Mercury Capri GS\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-96563\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first car was a 1981 Mercury Capri.
