Hi Bernie,
The special vehicle stickers and a couple of pages of info from Ford in 1973 showing the numbers are in the mail. Dont worry about payment or anything, its my pleasure.
Cheers,....Ron.

All GT V6 capri came one way, you had to order them without the bling if it was too lairy for you.  Dealers often ordered them in this form as they were cheaper and they got their workshop people to add the blackouts etc as it upped their profit. 
 "Delete tag" was attached to the right corner of the grill when the car was on the production line (covered by the headlight surround).  It was a piece of thin aluminium written on to tell the production line staff what to leave off, this usually meant no blackout bonnet or grille, no stripes, and re-locate the GT badge to the quarter from the wheel arch.  My Teal Glow still had the Delete tag, half had torn off over the years but it was there. 

Bump I know w this an old thread but I wonder how many deletes are still out there?As J.R said teal glow now in w.a ,yours Bernie in Vic and mine originally from Adelaide. And mine is ck17mk as I m looking at my letter from Ford. What proof have we got of their only being 11 deletes. This has come of light by a friend in Adelaide that is trying to buy /find his old v6 Capri ..Sorry for can of worms in advance

What were the changes to the diff and gearbox?

As I understand it, the only difference with the Mk1 1/2 gearbox was that the 2nd gear ratio was changed and the selecting was changed from the clumsy side rods to the 'top loader' style, no changes to other gears or bearings. Also, the crown wheel and pinion only were changed to 3.09:1 from the standard 3.22:1. I don't believe that their were any other changes to the axles or to the bearings on the axles. Terry

The australian capri v6 mechanicals were the same for the entire model run (69 to 72). This consisted of oval port 3000cc engine, side linkage gearbox and 3.22 diff.
The eleven "specials" of which only four were sold direct to the public and were marketed by bib stillwells as fully imported capris. (even tho they were assembled at homebush). These consisted of D port engine, same side linkage box but with higher ratio second gear, and same diff but with 3.09 crownwheel and pinion.
The shells for these cars were all assembled in august 72 and so all have the CK17ME body prefix. After that it gets a little tricky as we now have bernies car which has a sep72 plate, mine which has a november 72 plate and Murrays car which has the twin plate system of 1973. All three are noted on the list of eleven from ford.
There are plenty of capris getting around now with these mods that have been fitted at a later date. The blue car in qld thats nearly finished has all these parts. The crownwheel and pinion are available and are an easy fit. The side linkage box can be fitted with the second gear and layshaft gears from the later type 5 box or even fit the type 5 complete which has internal gear shift.
The "specials" claim to fame is that they will be the only australian cars to have dport motors with an austalian prefix to their engine number.    
regards, ...ron.

ALL Australian assembled GT/V6s (except the 11 'specials') had the 3.22:1 crown wheel and pinion diff as mentioned in my post above and they did not receive the improved 2nd gear. The changes that you are referring to from October 1971 were only used on the UK version of their 3-litre Capri's. What we call the Mk.1 1/2 or update model, which we here in Australia never received. If, yours is an Australian assembled April 1972 model (ie. CK17xx12345P), then it has had the update 3:09.1 crown wheel and pinion fitted later, or, is it an imported UK model?
