Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
The 1951 Mercury is one of the most iconic foundations in American custom car culture, forever associated with the legendary lead sled movement and some of the most memorable custom builds ever created. This particular 1951 Mercury 8 Series 1CM is far more than a restored classic—it’s a deeply reengineered custom build that combines traditional custom car artistry with meaningful mechanical modernization. Built on a Chevrolet frame and showing off a dramatic 5-inch chopped top, this Mercury captures the unmistakable silhouette that made customized early-1950s Mercurys so desirable. The extensive modifications elevate this car beyond simple nostalgia, creating a machine that blends classic custom aesthetics with significantly improved drivability, comfort, and reliability. For collectors of true custom Americana, this is exactly the type of car that defines a garage.
Few cars symbolize traditional American custom culture quite like the Mercury Eight, and this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe is a beautifully executed tribute to the legendary lead sled era. Finished in Maroon over a maroon and gray reupholstered interior, this custom Mercury combines timeless post-war styling with carefully integrated modern upgrades that enhance both drivability and comfort. Featuring a dramatic chopped roofline, lowered stance, upgraded suspension, and modern 10-speed automatic transmission, this coupe delivers classic custom-car presence while offering a far more refined driving experience than a factory-original example. With true mileage unknown, this Mercury stands out as a thoughtfully built street cruiser that perfectly blends vintage style, custom craftsmanship, and modern usability.
Mercury’s Montego lineup of the early 1970s offered buyers a slightly more upscale alternative to Ford’s intermediate offerings while still delivering the same muscular V8 performance and bold styling that defined the era. This 1971 Mercury Montego MX stands out thanks to its custom appearance and unmistakable presence, pairing classic American coupe proportions with period-inspired performance touches. Showing approximately 23,395 miles, this Montego MX benefits from a desirable 351ci Cleveland V8 under the hood, a legendary engine known for its strong torque and durability. With upgrades including aftermarket wheels, a custom paint job, and interior enhancements, this Mercury delivers the kind of vintage cruising experience that continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 “Pagoda” is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful roadsters ever produced, blending elegant styling, engineering sophistication, and grand touring comfort into a timeless package. This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Restomod takes that iconic foundation and elevates it with modern Mercedes-Benz performance and drivability through the installation of a 5.0L M113 V8 and matching 5G-Tronic automatic transmission sourced from a 2003 SL500. Showing approximately 7,571 miles, this professionally upgraded roadster combines the unmistakable charm of a classic Pagoda with contemporary reliability, comfort, and power, creating a unique driving experience that can be enjoyed far more frequently than a traditional vintage automobile.
The Chevrolet Nova has long been one of the most popular platforms in the American muscle car world thanks to its lightweight construction, straightforward engineering, and ability to accommodate big-block power. Showing approximately 82,642 miles, this 1969 Chevrolet Nova Coupe is powered by a 454ci V8 paired with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw driving experience that made American muscle cars legendary. Finished in red with black rally stripes, this Nova combines classic styling with practical upgrades including a Hurst Competition Plus shifter, LED dash lighting conversion, upgraded wiring harness, power brakes with an auxiliary vacuum pump, and improved cooling components. The current owner also reports that the vehicle is wired for FM radio and notes that additional engine and miscellaneous parts are available separately for an additional $25,000.
The 1984 Chevrolet Corvette marked the beginning of the revolutionary C4 generation, introducing an all-new platform that significantly advanced the Corvette’s handling, technology, and overall performance. After skipping the 1983 model year for production, Chevrolet launched the C4 with a sharper, more aerodynamic design and a thoroughly modern chassis that set a new benchmark for American sports cars. This 1984 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe shows 49,304 miles and is finished in Bright Red over a Bronze interior. Retaining its factory L83 Cross-Fire Injection V8 and featuring desirable amenities such as a removable targa roof panel, Bose audio system, and electronic climate control, this Corvette represents an important chapter in the evolution of America’s sports car. For enthusiasts seeking an early C4 with period-correct styling and technology, this example offers a compelling blend of collectability and drivability.
