For Sale: 1980 Mercury Capri with a Cosworth 1.6 L Inline-Four

This 1980 Mercury Cosworth Capri will be auctioned at Mecum Kissimmee on January 3-13 for an estimated $75,000-$90,000. It’s the only 1980 Cosworth Capri ever made by Ford and features a custom steel widebody fabricated by Ron Fournier. Under the hood sits a Cosworth 1.6 L BDA inline-four with dual Weber 45 DCOE carbs and dry sump system that makes 186 horsepower. Ford paired the engine with a ZF five-speed manual transmission and locking differential. The combination was good enough to send the 2,500 lb vehicle from 0-60 mph in six seconds. The car also features Koni F81 shocks, heated Recaro seats, and original 3-piece BBS Gold-center wheels. You can read more on Ford’s decision to develop the car in Hemmings’ article.
