This particular example - a 1981 model - is a low-key gem because of its original owner. Henry Ford II, also known as Hank the Deuce, enjoyed this Capri 2.8i until 1983 when Ron Mellor, the head of product development at Ford, bought it from Henry Ford’s eldest grandson.
A key driver behind the Dearborn-based automaker’s Total Performance program that gave us the Mustang and GT40, the one and only Deuce customized his Capri 2.8i with additional layers of paint, the C3 automatic transmission, wider seats, and leather upholstery. As the head honcho of Ford, Hank’s sports car also benefitted from much stricter quality control.
