We can look at the 1980 Capri in two different ways. Was it yet another underpowered fake-sporty Detroit rattletrap, or the raw material for countless Fox Ford freaks who would stuff all manner of insane engines into its lightweight chassis? The Fox is the gearhead's friend, so we can't look at this car the way we'd look at, say, a Lynx or Monarch. In any case, this ad scores very high on the Malaise Era Cheepnis-O-Meter.
