Now here’s an interesting little Ford roadster for you open-topped driving fans out there. 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.
When discussing the classic car segment, one brand is often overlooked. The Mercury brand was designed by Ford to offer premium solutions that bridge the gap between Ford and Lincoln. One of their most loved models was the Mercury Comet that became a successful standalone model. It was one of the first mid-sized cars in history and was also dubbed the "senior compact". What we have brought to you here is a 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible, a top-trim, often underrated muscle car. With 70631 miles on its odometer, this beauty flaunts a few aftermarket features as well. Located in Sparks, Nevada, it is ready to fulfill all your classic car desires.
Mercury was first introduced as a subsidiary division of the Ford Motor Company that bridged the gap between the affordable Ford models and the luxury Lincoln lineup. When Mercury launched the Cougar model, it was supposed to provide a European-styled alternative to the Ford Mustang. It went on to become the only Mercury ever to win the “Motor Trend Car of the Year” title. The Cougar lineup saw eight generations, where the car transformed from a Pony car to a personal luxury coupe. This stunning example of the 1970 Mercury Cougar belongs to the final year of its first generation. It reportedly has 51322 miles on its clock and is currently located in Port Hueneme, California. If you are looking for a rare classic that will turn heads and spark conversation, this Cougar is for you.
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.
Here’s a chance that’s not very likely to come every day. This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R could be yours if you’d like to own one of the Eighties and Nineties JDM cult heroes that most petrolheads lust after in their dreams. This heavily-modified car packs an RB26 single-turbo built motor, a sleek black outlook and under 62,000 miles on the clock. Coming from the fine R32 generation, it’s also got a very distinctive shape to its two-door coupe body. Don’t worry about this car being right-hand drive; you’ll quicky get used to it.
Ford’s famous Mustang Mach 1 is a highly revered American classic today. That’s why when cars like this bright red 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 from San Jose come on sale, they don’t stay around for long. The Mach 1 was not only a performance package, as the name might suggest, but offered some appearance upgrades too. Only available as a fastback (known s the SportsRoof), cars like this 92,000-mile example struck fear into those with lesser machines at the track or drag strip. Now, this car can be yours and rest assured, it hasn’t lost any of its awesomeness. It might get gapped by today’s trick EVs, but when you’ve got the rumble of an H-code Cleveland for company, nothing else matters.
The Fox-body Mustang remains one of the most influential performance cars in American automotive history, and this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback represents a heavily upgraded example of the platform. Known for its lightweight chassis and highly tunable 5.0-liter V8, the Fox Mustang became a staple in the performance community throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. This particular car has been extensively modified with serious performance hardware, including forged engine internals and a Vortech VS-1 supercharger producing approximately 13 pounds of boost. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, replacing the factory automatic setup. The odometer currently shows 9,999 miles, although the true mileage is unknown. With upgraded drivetrain components, suspension improvements, and modern cooling and braking systems, this Mustang offers the classic Fox-body experience combined with significantly enhanced performance.
