old capri v6
Has anyone got a picture of the original radio for a 9/1970 Capri. Looking to purchase something to fill the hole in my dash.

Here's a scan of page 3 of the 12 page Cortina/Escort/Capri Accessories page showing the Radio options.
 
And yes Bernie, they are/were only AM, as FM for commercial stations didn't commence until 1980.

Fantastic Terry and thanks for the upload............I'd welcome either of the 2 radio options with equal enthusiasm should one come up for sale at a reasonable price (I have a 70's Holden Genuine Radio I'd swap for a XY Falcon Radio missing from my XY Falcon)..........cheers
 
Happy New Year

Dont mean to hijack this thread but can anyone tell me what the deluxe push button radio which was option 73 in 1970 was, as mine originally had this and want to see if the right one is what came with the car.

What you have there was essentially fitted to all years of Mk1 Capri, unless the dealer fitted something different (or there was nothing fitted at all).

About 4 years ago I brought a push button radio out of an Escort  just in case I ever wanted it. It has 74BA-18806-AA stamped on the bottom of it. It is the same as this one from the catalogue.

So any idea why Ford would say its option 73 if it came with all Capris?

The radio would have been option number 73 in a long list of options, probably for the entire Ford range. For example, for the XW and XY falcons, option 70 is a deluxe manual radio, option 71 is the push button version, and option 72 is a radio tape player.
