Body:
There is NO difference between a Mustang 5.0 and a Mercury 5.0 of the
same year, they are IDENTICAL. The only things different on these
cars are body parts and emblems. Mechanically and structurally they
are IDENTICAL, so if you are looking for a mechanical part for a
Capri tell them it's for a Mustang and you will have a much easier
time finding said part.
