Bernie, the build figures from Fords Homebush plant statistics in Sydney go like this:
Capri 1600 Deluxe, 4,963 manuals & 2,002 automatics OR 6,965 in total (March 1969 - November 1972)
Capri 1600 GT, 1,692 manuals & 525 automatics OR 2,217 in total (March 1969 - January 1970)
Capri 1600 XL, 1,566 manuals & 876 automatics OR 2,442 in total (January 1970 - November 1972)
Capri 3000 GT, 2,459 manuals & 555 automatics OR 3,014 in total (January 1970 - November 1972)
TOTAL production is therefore 11,624 4-cyl Capris and 3,014 6-cyl Capris.
GRAND TOTAL production is therefore 14,638.
ALL production ceased in November, 1972. Sales continued through to around April, 1973.
Cheers, Terry

Many thanks Terry............all you say makes sense and clears up a lot of questions for me. Your info is very much appreciated. Cheers , Bernie

i have a ck17me car 11/72 maybe last eleven??
 

I have the list of the 11 'specials', what are the last 5 digits of the CK17ME code? PM me if you prefer to keep it secret! Cheers, Terry

The remaining cars unaccounted for are also listed on page 25 of this thread.

Page 25? can't find that page as we are currently only at page 19.
Anyway, the yet to be found 'Specials' still missing are as follows:
CK17ME33190P
CK17ME33194P
CK17ME33193
CK17ME33192
CK17ME32747
CK17ME33054
so 'keri' is one of these numbers yours?
Cheers, Terry
 

It's page 25 if you use a tablet/iPad.

Ah, gotya! I'm not into that modern technology, it's a laptop or desktop for me.

I wasn't either, then I found I could watch TV and check the forums at the same time. ;)

Hi all answer to Ron I have an 11 month 1972 and this new one is 10 month 72 with ck17me340**p vin plate. Received my ford verification letter for this new one the other day. I am not really collecting at the moment but protecting( that's what I tell the wife) any shells I can. Then when I find reasonable ways to restore I will. I have seven now 1 Perana 3x v6 and 3x 1.600 cars of which two of the 1600 are either cut up or as we all might have seen open the door and watch the A pillar come with it. All can be fixed but only with the right panels and expertise.
Couple of answers I really want to know when were th extra pieces between the guard and the A pillar added these protect the Apillar more than previous models and would be hard to get. Also were the special Capri Dport motors in these cars running with our motor code or the English motor code? I ask this as I have this D port motor but no way of knowing its history. Finally could you post the list of engine numbers separate to the cars (not wanting people to copy but you may have a motor from these cars but would have no idea) as would like to check what I've got.
You can pm me as all can or call me if you wish? Just love the information as you can imagine the Perana is even harder on info which doesn't impress the motor registry. Keith
