You're right Glen.
I don't think everyone who owns a Mk1 Capri, let alone a GTV6Mk1, appreciates exactly how rare they are becoming by the year.  This sentiment also applies to all Makes and Models of Aussie built cars of course.
We should keep in mind their true and increasing worth: none of these Pieces of History have ever "grown on trees", but the opposite; they are being snapped up by cashed up Yuppies, as well as genuine collectors WORLD WIDE.
Don't forget why the UK, Scotland and Canada are snapping them up; all theirs have died of natural causes and/or rusted away due to the squillion tons of SALT they put on their roads regularly, to suppress ice forming from all the snow that falls on their streets and highways.

What a "buzz" it is to drive a well maintained rare 60's and 70's collectable all around Melbourne and Penisulas and
Dandenongs......preferably on sunny, rain-free days of course!

Mate thats the essence of owning these cars, I can throw away all my worldly worries and drive Perths northern beaches all day long...
I've got a passing interest in the numbers of Capri's left. Still looking for a new project and after numerous wanted ads and countless hours of scouting country areas I haven't turned up a single Capri. I've had better luck finding a GT500 Cortina (complete basket case though)
Oh well back to the search, Drew.... 

Hi Drew,
 
life is such a bag of "unknowns"!...........I wasn't even looking for ANY Capri or any particular car as I have too many already (hoarder sickness), and this 72 GT V6 on the left "drops in my lap" for a stupid irresistable price only 2 years ago............it pays to be an extrovert: I was admiring some Capris at a Country Swap-Meet 3 years ago, and turned to this stranger next to me about how sweet the duco was on these cars, and he quipped "I wish my Capri was nearly as nice as these Capris, but now I'm thinking it'll have to go as I've lost interest". So natch I couldn't help myself, and made further "enquiries" thinking I'd be better off buying a car "man-to-man" before it hits ebay for thousands to bid up 10 or 20 times more!............ Had to wait nearly a year before he was ready to part with it..............seems the harder you look for something; the more it eludes you.
I wish I could get my hands on a value for money good-nick 68-71 Monaro regardless of engine or tranny.  We beat ourselves up when we think of how many desirable/collectable cars we missed or refused.......... As Ned said "Ah, such is life!"....... He couldn't have possibly realised we Aussies would be the luckiest humans on the Planet to have such miniscule worries, while half the world is wondering where their next scrap of food's coming from, or when they're about to be blown away?
(Sorry, had to add that last bit to balance things up a bit)

come on own up
 
which one of you capri hoaders brought the teal green v6 gt that was on gumtree last week

I tried as hard as I could to get it but it was a couple of weeks ago. At the same time there was a 4cyl with v6 in it 10 minutes from my house. I got nothing and was pissed. I reckon whoever got the teal green also got the 4cyl. End of the day you snooze you loose.

there is one for sale on gumtree at the moment for 9800 v6 gt not matching but not to bad reco mtr + some brand new replacement panels ,,,  i think its not a bad deal ..

It's a 4cyl conv

Yes it is spud . No pic of id plate and masked up to paint ,instead of removing ..dodgy who does that!
About 5k too much imho...spud will have a better idea .

i will be doing that to mine when its ready for paint no way will i remove original tag and risk any damage to compliance plate ...  i think it looks even more dodgy when you see new rivets on compliance plates or ones snapped at the ends of the rivet holes ...
 

u can always buff them off from inside the heater bulge - come off nice and clean...

Still can't see why people find it hard to remove the pop rivets with no damage. Even stainless rivets are easy to remove. Why finish a car and leave something underneath the compliance plate not fixed. My two cents.
