The Capri from the 70's was a German Ford, sold here as a Mercury, not to be confused with the Mercury/Mustang clone from the 80's. Not sure the tractor motor sold here was the same as the motor offered in Europe. Anybody remember the awful Mercury Merkur XR4T/Scorpio? It was German for "Mercury,Mercury". Almost as bad as the Chevy/Toyota Nova sold in South America in the late 80's early 90's, "Nova" in Spanish translates to "NO-GO". Audi, like Toyota almost went out of business in the 80's from those 800 folks who "accidently" mashed the accelerator instead of the brake.
The '79 Capri at least wasn't a German Ford and it was a Mustang clone.
