Have just received a letter of authenticity from Ford for my 1970 V6. Interesting!!
Error 1, When I purchased the car back in 1970 it was in its original colour, Diamond White, the compliance plate shows colour code R - Diamond White. The letter shows colour code R which Ford say is Copper Bronze (metallic), which isn't even a 1970 Capri colour.
Error 2, The trim code on the plate is N, which is Dark Saddle vinyl, the Ford letter says the car trim is N, however they list N as Light Saddle.
Error 3, The car was originally sold by Morley Ford, Yarra Bank Rd, Melbourne. Dealer code 3126. The letter says the selling dealer was dealer code 3126, but they list this code as President Ford, Elsternwick, Vic. I know it was sold by Morley Ford as I have the original maintenance schedule book that lists the dealer as Morley Ford, code 3126.
The option list is interesting, seat belts are listed as an option but also listed as mandatory, they can't be both.
The car had the following options,
47 - Delete hood pins
50 - Delete black hood
56 - Driving lights
60 - Delete Super Roo stickers.
The car did come with the side stripes and GT badges above the rear wheel arch. When I bought the car it was exactly as the option list indicated, since I have owned it the car has had a colour change and the hood has been painted black. As it left the factory it was possibly a fairly rare beast with the options it had.
Don't believe everything that the Ford authenticity letter, obviously their records aren't 100%, but the wrong colour and trim has to be some sort of finger trouble.
