YOU GOTTA SEE THIS
MERCURY’S BLACK MAGIC
Besides the ’84 Capri RS Turbo feature
in this issue — the first Capri feature in
FOX Mustang Magazine — we opened up
the ’82 Mercury dealer album for a look
at another Capri rarity, the Black Magic.
Dramatically blacked out and highlighted
with gold TRX wheels, trim, and graphics,
the Black Magic was an exterior option,
so any of the Capri’s four engines were
available: 2.3 turbo and non-turbo, 3.3
inline six-cylinder (200 cid), or the 255 V-8
with automatic. The 5.0 H.O. was not an
option.
When the ’82 Mustang GT came out, it
grabbed a lot of headlines, and rightfully
so. But you could make a case that while
Mustang had the advantage in power, Capri
held the edge in step-up style.
