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 1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod takes the long-hood, hidden-headlamp attitude of Mercury’s upscale pony car and turns the performance dial far beyond anything offered when new. Showing just 3,509 miles, this build is finished in Metallic Pearl Red over a fully reupholstered Saddle Brown leather interior and centers around a built 572ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transformation extends well beyond the engine bay, with 4-wheel disc brakes, a custom intake system, Vintage Air climate control, a functional hood scoop, custom leather seating, updated instrumentation, and a substantial high-end audio system. According to the current owner, the Cougar was originally equipped with an M-code 351ci V8, making its evolution into this big-cube restomod all the more dramatic. This is the kind of build that preserves the unmistakable character of a classic Cougar while adding the power, comfort, and detail expected from a thoroughly modernized muscle car.
The 1972 Mercury Montego MX Brougham sits at the more luxurious end of Mercury’s midsize lineup, blending early-1970s American styling with a comfortable grand-touring character. Showing approximately 79,076 miles, this example pairs its upscale Brougham trim with a 351ci V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power front disc brakes, and air conditioning. Finished in yellow with a white vinyl roof and white interior, it carries the formal look that defined Mercury’s more premium offerings of the period, while features such as the Flight Bench seat, woodgrain interior trim, and Brougham-specific detailing give it plenty of period personality.
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.
This 1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 takes the lightweight Fox-body formula and turns the performance dial well past stock. Showing approximately 80,783 miles, this example is powered by a 347ci stroker V8 with Edelbrock electronic fuel injection and backed by a Tremec 3550 5-speed manual transmission. Twisted Wedge cylinder heads, upgraded valve springs, an Edelbrock EFI intake manifold, heavy-duty water pump, and aftermarket engine-management components all point to a build centered on stronger naturally aspirated performance. Add in SVE wheels, Nitto NT555 tires, upgraded brakes, and an aftermarket exhaust, and this LX becomes the kind of modified Fox-body that speaks directly to Mustang enthusiasts.
This 1967 Citroën 2CV Coupe is a charming example of one of France’s most recognizable postwar automobiles, a car designed around simplicity, economy, and clever engineering rather than excess. Showing approximately 43,099 miles, this example is finished in Bleu Mésange over a Tissu Bleu cloth interior and retains the unmistakable 2CV formula with a 425cc air-cooled flat-2, 4-speed manual transmission, and front-wheel drive. Its full-length roll-back fabric roof, unconventional shifter, and supple interconnected suspension give it the kind of personality that has made the 2CV such an enduring favorite among European-car enthusiasts.
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible Restomod takes one of the most celebrated shapes in American sports-car history and updates the experience underneath without losing the visual drama that made the C2 Corvette iconic. Showing approximately 65,888 miles, this example pairs its Victory Red exterior and black interior with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8, electronic fuel injection, and a 4-speed manual transmission. Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation, upgraded suspension components, modernized braking hardware, and aftermarket wheels move the driving experience well beyond a stock early Corvette while preserving the low-slung roadster proportions enthusiasts immediately recognize.
