The Mercury version of the Ford Mustang was called the Mercury Capri. It was a rebadged version of the old Fox body Mustang and was produced from 1979 until 1986. The Capri was very similar to the Mustang, with the exception of some design and packaging tweaks. One unique feature of the Capri was the “Bubble Back” rear glass.

What is the Mercury version of the Ford Falcon?
Comet
The Comet was initially based on the compact Ford Falcon, then on the intermediate Ford Fairlane, and finally on the compact Ford Maverick. As a Mercury, early Comets received better-grade interior trim than concurrent Falcons, and a slightly longer wheelbase.

the Meteor
Slotted below the Mercury Monterey, the Meteor was the Mercury counterpart of the Ford Fairlane. For 1962, as part of a revision of the Mercury range, the nameplate was adopted by the first intermediate-size Mercury sedan (with the Meteor again serving as a counterpart of the Fairlane).

Was a Mercury Cougar a Mustang?
The Mercury Cougar was based on the Mustang, but it took a different approach than General Motors did with its Camaro and Firebird siblings by giving the Cougar entirely different sheet metal and a longer wheelbase. (Chrysler adopted the same method with the E-body Challenger and Barracuda in 1970.)
