Description[]
The Capri Turbo is a Scorchers model based on a 1979 Mercury Capri. The Scorchers models were known for their extremely powerful pullback motors. The casting was used twice and then discontinued in around 1982 with the rest of the Scorchers line; it would subsequently be repurposed as the Cookin' Capri in the short-lived Shift Kickers series.
