Anyone buy this?

I thought I'd noticed this car before, and suspected it wasn't a genuine V6 from the engine bay picture. Not a problem if you want a Capri with a V6 engine, but if you're chasing an original GTV6 it's always good to do your research, and know what you're looking at.

    The first add looks to explain it as it said "
    Ford V6 1969 Capri
    Genuine 4 cylinder GT Capri with V6 running Gear"

    it is a '69 GT so 4 pot body V6 conversion

    I think

    Yep the brake lines are there but the corner brackets are missing. He did well though, bought for $6200 and sold a few weeks later for $7500. Tidy profit.

    Paying $7500 for the black car is a prime example of why you must know what your buying or have a mate that is well versed in capris. $7500 for a genuine v6gt project is about right. But this is a 1600 project (value about $2500) with a v6 motor and box (value about $400). That means the purchaser has spent about $4600 more than he needed to, believing that he was getting a v6gt.
    Also the vendor has knowingly misrepresented the car to increase its perceived value.
