This Capri took a bit of the best of everything Ford had to offer in 1985.

Fans of Fox body Fords will no doubt be familiar with the Mercury Capri, Ford's slightly upmarket Mustang variant from the early to mid 1980s. Some of them will be familiar with ASC McLaren, a company known for their high-end, factory-approved convertible conversions.

There's a lot more involved in making a convertible than simply hacking off the roof and calling it a day. Nowhere is that more apparent than when looking at one of these beautiful ASC McLaren creations. These are more than just convertible conversions – they're something entirely distinct from the base vehicle.

ASC McLaren convertibles typically featured unique bodywork and unique trim that made each car look and feel more luxurious. All of these factors combined to make them very expensive, and in 1985, just 257 were built.
