hey boys after been asked many times on what i think my gt v6 matching number car is worth , id thought i would put up a post and see what others think there capris are worth ...
 
for me and this is my opinion ..
 
i put heaps of hrs into rust repairs , parts , panels , looking for parts , trim , paint body work engine work  etc etc 
 
i think the average capri will cost anybody around the 35 - 40k and could easy hit the 50k mark + if your getting all your work done from outside source panel shops etc ... just to rebuild in back to immacualte factory condition
 
i know from the quotes i got before i decided to do it myself were a joke i got quoted  10 -30 k to do just the bodywork and paint and thats after i had repaired and replaced 3/4 of the panels .. anything i found that had more than 2mm of bog i replaced the whole panel as i just cant stand bog 
 
thats why theres no way i would sell mine for less than 35 k 
 
 
what you fellow capri owner's think

35 is about right for a thoroughly sorted car.  

I paid $30,000 for my v6 auto with full rotisserie repair from a panel beater. The work on the car was immaculate, but the trims and dash are not standard but in my opinion better than original excluding the dash fascia. As you will always be told it's worth what someone on the day is prepared to pay. You don't or can't build these cars as an investment. We do it for the love, the love of the Capri. When you choose to separate its like a marriage gone wrong and you take what ever your left with. My cars are to built so they are never for sale. Call it what you will but the Capri is the only car I've ever loved. I'll sell them over my dead body and therefore they are priceless. My 2c

Some seem to go for more than they'd be worth, like this one (if it did actually sell that is):

I'd be wanting a pretty immaculate car for that money, and know of a much better one going for less.

My Mk1 GT V6 manual is one of only eleven exclusive Delete Models that were the last eleven ever made in Australia in 1972.
Even with body paint & interior still original but Power-plant running like new, I wouldn't consider selling for a cent under $45k, even if I wanted to................apart from the fact that I always fall in love with every car I've ever permanently owned and can't bring myself to part with any of them, with the exception of one about 25 years ago. It was my 1968 HK Holden Panel Van modified to Monaro fit-out I sold, and I'm still regretting selling her. Sold because of a little rust in "rails", but at least I got good money. 
 
Glad I listened to my parents to be financially positive and "live within your means", which so many DO NOT these days, and wonder why they're up **** creek.  Other than the obvious, you're never forced to sell your collectibles for the sake of money.
 
I estimate the Ford Factory closure will have further increased upside to all Ford Australia MUSCLE cars value, and more again if any are Limited Edition like "John Goss XB" or "Alan Moffat Cobra XC", and "V6 manual Capris"..............if kept in ORIGINAL CONDITION.      
 
Fully modified models will still pull good money for track work, but their market will always be smaller, as more and more Car Clubs are refusing RED PLATES for non-original heavily modified cars
 
 

I picked up this original yellow V6 GXL for $13500 the other day - very happy - obviously has all of the later good gear - given that price -  its hard to know what they're really worth (have a set of rebels for it - those mags look clunky) 

That's a very tidy looking unit. Len

Ha ha - AUD - yes very clean. Driving the blue one I have is a very different experience to this one. I've put the 2.8i swaybar, koni's, uprated springs and factory power steering etc in the blue one - it's so much more stable on the road. Tracks really well. This one is v 1970's to drive, very butch! (makes a big difference on a long trip). (This one does have some real bite though)

BEE VEE

Dreaming. Would personally not pay more than $18,000 for your capri and even that would be a massive stretch as it would require a full restoration to be worth $40,000. 
 
Going rate for nicely presented v6 GT's is still between $25,000 to $33,000ish with immaculate examples pushing mid to high 30's. 

Hey v8gt,
 
you mussana read the part where I said......."".....not a cent under $45k, EVEN IF I WANTED TO....""......
 
(which I never would in the forseable future)
 
I love her so much I wouldn't sell her for $45K even if someone was "richer than Bill Gates" and wanted my GTV6.
 
So in a way ur right........I am dreaming that I'm one lucky guy to be driving a rare Mk1 165HP GT V6, plus 2 more
 
Ford V8 Muscle Cars till the day I'm too old to drive, which I dream will be a hundred years away !!!
