Even both 4's look different style fonts? surely the guy at ford would have used the same No 4 stamping punch?
 
 

who knows what happened?
Look at the quality of the stamping in general to put it in some context.
 
Unsolved mysteries of the world:
-Easter Island statues
-Stonehenge
- Crop Circles
- Ford body Stamping
 
let it go son, it had a good life.
 

So now someone has taken my ebay photos and ebay listing and have listed the car on a car sale web site for $10k.  

Not a Mystery of the world ....but more an "amateurish" re-birth.

Don't get sucked in fellas.  I still have the sms in my phone where another 4cyl stamp was shown to him on 4th Dec showing different size lettering after which he was still begging to buy the car.....with paypal.  Deep down he knows the car is genuine which is why he is so bent out of shape.
 
So far there have only been 2 claims,  bonnet pins emails and fake stamp, no prize for guessing who sent me the bonnet pins emails.
 
If there are no other claims about the car happy for mods to close the thread.

GTV6  dont kid yourself ...your Capri will always have doubts ....I wouldn't have your car even if you gave it to me for free , its been sus right from the start and you know it, you spend half your time trying to justify this & that about it , but the facts remain its got issue mate, no wonder you wanted to sell it .
As for the bonnet pins ...you weren't even sure if they were original or not, it was my son that picked it out so stop talking crap ...instead of hurling your BS via here why dont you man up and call me in person??? Gutless thats why.
I know and you know that strut tower stamping of yours  is fake. 
Your Capri will always have shadows  and its not just my view but others on this forum , but they are staying out of it and I will respect that.
You should be greatful that someone is trying to   sell your car for 10K on the web.... there being over generous :) 
ohhhhh but be weary if they wanna buy it using paypal  ...not paypal please its sooooo corrupt ...WAKE UP GTV6 

Sorry but my pic shows original stamping. You can tell it’s a poverty pack to start with. The strut top has more of the same. Anything happened at ford back in the day. I do think older cars are worse off though. Seem to have got their **** together when everything was moved off the slam panel.
I know adding doubt is not helpful, but I doubt ford gave the job to a team who cared. Who knows but many mistakes we all have seen.
How many times do we see engine and transmission stamped next to each other in the wrong spot. Info is better than verbal BS.
My pic shows that.

I know they( Ford Factory)  were pretty ordinary back then..but surely they would have had the same font & size "4" stamp beside them otherwise more of these mistakes would be popping up , as I said I have seen a fair few and none had different size number fonts ...letters yes I have seen it all the time..but all the  numbers I have ever seen have  always been 3/8"

Ha ha so now the back flip begins.  Not only does Wiggys stamp have small 4's, they are also different font and oh dear me, the one on the right is the same shape as mine, short and wider.
 
Then there's the lack of grind marks and pitting consistent with age. 

jejeje back flips??  , Grind marks???  ...thanks for bringing that up take a good look at yours DH your strut tower has two layers & is stepped down, unless someone else can supply their numbers with 2 x fonts I still wont be convinced  and if they do ... I have learnt one thing from all this ....if there are so many inconsistencies in stamps & fonts & sizes  with our Capri's  identification ...there is no such thing as a genuine "Matching numbers "car as anyone with number/letter stamps, a grinder , spare panels , welder  and half a brain can make a matching numbers car providing they have an original  ID aluminium plate to start off with .
