Built in Broadmeadows in Melbourne, Australia, the Mercury Capri’s third generation was sold between 1991 and 1994. Mercury, a division of Ford, wanted to create something to rival the Toyota MR2 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. The third-generation Capri was the result, and we’ve got one here today. Say hello to this 40,090-mile 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo from Louisville, Kentucky. With its fizzy turbocharged engine and manual gearbox, it’s quite an interesting proposition to add to your garage.
With its wedge-shaped styling, Cardinal Red paint job and pop-up headlamps, this 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo is quintessentially Nineties! The car is a convertible, with a black soft top at the ready in case the weather turns for the nasty side of things. The car rolls on a set of 15-inch XR2 Design alloy wheels, and its compact dimensions make it super easy to drive and park in town. Seriously, this thing is a mere 166 inches long and 64.6 inches wide! Despite its small size, this 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo is still a four seater, albeit the rear seats are more suitable for children. Gray cloth upholstery, power windows, power mirrors and air conditioning are all present for you to enjoy. Then, you’ve got the Ford Premium Sound upgraded stereo with a cassette tape player. There’s even cruise control, activated via steering wheel-mounted buttons. Then, the gauge cluster is another lovely exercise in simplicity, with analog dials and clear, white script, despite having no less than six gauges. As for cargo requirements, the car even manages to pack in a decently-sized trunk despite its size and need for stowing of the convertible hood.
Power for this 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo comes from a lively 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder unit. Reportedly rated at 132 horsepower, the engine powers the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. It’s got multi-port fuel injection as well, for the best balance of power and fuel economy. Plus, with front and rear disc brakes as well as low weight, this is actually quite a fun car to drive in a spirited fashion.

Hang on…isn’t Capri a Ford model? Well, yes that was the case in many markets outside the United States. But back home in Detroit, Ford had several sub-brands. Mercury was one of them, and in 1970, Capri was too. Initially, it was what was called a captive import that was imported from Ford of Europe and sold merely as a Capri. No Ford or any other parent branding was borne on the car. In 1979, things changed for the second generation of the American Capri. Capri was now a model under Ford’s Mercury division and based on the famous Fox platform. So, it was basically like a Fox Body Mustang with different styling. This generation was made as the Mercury Capri between 1979 and 1986. Today, we’ve got one of these curios in the shape of a Connecticut-residing 1985 Mercury Capri Grand Sport. This 26,000-mile car is up for sale and comes with some neat performance enhancements. We’re told that the car features its original body and paint, and even includes the original booklets with the sale.
With its name derived from Monterey Bay, the same inspiration for the famous Monterey Jack cheese, the Mercury Monterey was a full-size automobile by Mercury that was available between 1952 and 1974. Mercury itself, the mid-tier luxury division of Ford sat between Ford and Lincoln, and, sadly, was retired in 2011. So, this is one of those classic American names from a defunct manufacturer. That only adds to the cachet of this 1953 Mercury Monterey. The fact that its maker is no more only adds more to the car’s value, as does its Flathead V8, auto gearbox and mere 1,700 miles. A discerning collector will have no hesitation in snapping up this car, while a budding collector should seriously consider acquiring it sans delay.

The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette sports car and grand tourer was revealed to the public in 1953. Called the C1, it ran until 1962, and sold just over 69,000 units. Today, finding a C1 is a little tough, but not impossible. You’ll find pristinely-kept, bone-stock examples, fixer-uppers, daily runners and restomods, like this Texas-based 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LT1 from a later Corvette, as well as aftermarket Z06-style wheels and a 4L60E 4-speed autobox. These, plus many other refinements make this a classic Corvette that you can daily drive with comfort and confidence.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
The Corvette bagged the nickname "America's Sports Car" almost immediately after its 1953 debut. The reason being that it was the first American Sports Car to successfully rival European models. The second generation of the Corvette was a significant period for the company. During that time, Corvette saw record sales, introduced a new engine, and adopted the two-word "Sting Ray" branding. This stunning example of the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible belongs to the second generation. With a reported 6964 miles on its odometer, this beauty is currently located in Round Rock, Texas. If you are in the market for classics that carry a rich history and a Sunday cruiser that harks you back to olden times, this is the perfect car for you.
