Three Different Cars Over Its Lifespan
According to a YouTube overview, the Mercury Capri was three different cars during its U.S. run from 1970 to 1994, reflecting major redesigns across its production years.
1979‑86 Model Shared the Mustang Chassis
The second‑generation Mercury Capri (1979‑1986) was built on the same Mustang chassis that Ford produced at the time, essentially a re‑styled Mustang made in the USA.
Early Capri Was a European Import
For the 1971‑74 model years and the Capri II of 1976‑77, the car was a captive import built by Ford of Europe in Germany, before later U.S. production began.
