This isn't my car, firstly.

anyone know why/could think of a reason for why it hasn't sold? It's been up there for ~2 months, all other capris have sold like hotcakes

Also, may have sold and advert is just not removed........(last modified 4 Dec)

For what it's worth, it's been on car sales for the best part of a year & the asking price hasn't changed much for some time.
I've seen price adjustments as small as $50 when the ad's been updated in the past.
I'd considered the car too, but rejected the idea for much the same reasons as mentioned in the posts above.
A shame really, as the owner's obviously put some hard work into it.
 

Model code 13018 for 1970 V6 (13016 = 1600 XL, 13014 = 1600 Deluxe)
Engine code P, trans code X for 4spd (not sure auto code off top my head)
Cross member 3 bolt (4 cyl 2-bolts per side)
Triangular gusset as Jason said above
Battery inset into engine bay skirt LHS for Bigger v6 battery
Shorter spacer between bonnet slam panet and radiator (v6 longer than Kent 1600).
From subframe in front of sway bar corner bracket has double skin strengthener all the way forward (4 cyls stop immed front @ sway bar bolts)
Brake lines run high across heater plenum box (I see this one still has the outer tabs for this, but compliance plate looks like it would be under the brake line usual position).
Speedo has 70mph at 12-noon on dial, with tacho showing redline at 5800rpm (not 6000rpm for 4 cyl) and has x100 V6 printed on face
Atlas rear loading diff on V6, 4cyl has front loading 'English' axle (can remove pinion/crownwheel from front).....and wider rear brake drumss too
V6 has 13.5 gallon tank - looks fatter in the boot (more rearward intrusion into boot space)
Enigine bay wiring loom is different to 4 cyl (foor location of things...)
 
And if this is truly an early V6, then normal production differences might explain brake line (re)positioning to later ones.  For example, the seat belt tunnel mount bolts - later ones moved to side of tunnel, early on top.
And 1969 models had the b-pillar seat belt mount @ shoulder height, later 70+ moved head-ish height.
 
Paint looks pretty good in the pics but you would inspect before buying of course.
 
And....IMHO, Redbook values are a bit optimistic across a number of vehicles in todays marketplace.

The model no. should read 13018 which means 3000GT model (It also means 1600GT on 1969 models)
(13014=1600 Deluxe & 13016=1600 XL)
CK17KY means the following:
C = Ford Britain affiliate (Australia)
K = Fords Homebush (Sydney) assembly plant (all Australian assembled Capri's were built there)
17 =  Capri GT (14 = Capri Deluxe and 30 = Capri XL)
K = 1970 model (1502 manual GTs & 167 Auto GTs were built that year)
Y = February build (123 manual GTs built that month with the original first 40 manual GTs being built in January, 1970, NO Autos were built until August 1970)
For what it's worth, the car looks fairly original given that 40 years has passed since it was built though it has been 'customised' as have most Capri's by now anyway! Whether its worth $17,500 or $10,000 is entirely up to the purchaser. They are getting much harder to find now and if you really want one then an offer of up to $14,000 should be enough I'd say!

Nice! Do you mind asking how much you got him down to?
 
Are you going to keep the paint/blackout scheme?
