Wouldn't change the value of the car anyway - to me - about 8k worth - it is what it looks to be - a nice restorer ( the whole matching numbers thing is a big yawn)

I think its time to cut and paste the last half of this thread, as I said, the re-shell story is a good one, like the Capri that fell off the production line and was hastily fixed etc etc. But, this thread should focus on the last 11.   

What ever numbers are stamped under the bay doesn’t change how it drives. My Capris are about me and how I love them. Couldn’t give a rats arse on anyone’s opinion. Feel like an arse saying she’s an original matching numbers capri every time I say it. It’s a Capri. 3ltr V6. DPort. Nice mix.

.....If we cannot confirm that it was one, we should re-locate these entries to a separate new thread-as its still a good capri story

Agree. I think the discussion should continue in a separate thread so it can still be debated, but away from this particular thread.

BEE VEE
Does anyone know how many Wild Plum painted vehicles ever existed, or where they were sold ?
 
Did all 1972 Capris get fitted with REAR DEMISTER HEATED GLASS in line with ADR72, or was it hit and miss ?
 

To my knowledge, no-one has ever found any data on numbers of Capri's painted in what colours.
 
Secondly, ADR72 refers to 'Dynamic Side Impact Occupant Protection' and was introduced on 1 Jan 1999. I think you've got your numbers mixed up there Bernie.

Hi there everyone,
 
Unlike some people, I'm not jumping to conclusions, or casting aspersions, just because one person sees a GTV6 of a certain colour, which reminds him of an event some 40 years ago, and declares this MUST be the same car, as if it was the only car painted that colour !
It doesn't cut any ice with me, since there's absolutely no facts and or proof WHICH EXACT CARS ARE INVOLVED !
 
If any facts from an expert do come to light re MY Capri GTV6, I'll accept them with a smile and add it to the Car's  History Folder and know that the Letter of Authenticity from Ford a few years ago, just adds to my interest in my very rare ONE-OUT-OF-ELEVEN 1972 Capri. 
 
Anyone have an XRAY machine to see if the Chassis Number around RH Tower is hiding another one below ?????

My error citing ADR72 must have been auto-suggestion in my brain due to my Capri being ---72 !
 
Checked my RWC Books and ADR15 of Jan 1971 provided for Windscreen to have Demisters, but from what I read, there was no mention of FRONT or REAR Windscreen so far, just WINDSCREEN ...............will keep looking.

GOT IT!
 
ADR15 of Jan 1971 refers only to FORWARD VISION, so there it is.......no rear demister mandatory yet
 
Will search my ADR Books till I find it

Sounds like a interesting story and one I have heard before in particular with respect to Falcon GT's.

There is no evidence here to suggest that's BEEVEE's car has been re-shelled.
Please take any further investigative discussion offline from public viewing.
Moving chassis numbers between different shells is definitely illegal, so I don't recommend for anyone to be openly discussing that they have been involved in it, no matter how long ago it was.
