Hi all, I put the bid in for this car at $31100, missed out and he called me back we spoke for a couple of days and then a rang him and offered $32000 for the car which he accepted. We organised a $5000 dollar deposit which as I worked all day and he did not take it off Ebay or Gumtree made me nervous, anyway just as I was about to pay he sent me a message saying "sorry money not in sold it to a local guy" most upsetting. So would have been good at that price.
So as I was in Perth looked at the black one in Adelaide remember it being $22000 earlier so offered him $500 deposit to be returned if not as advertised. So flew from Perth to Adelaide on my way home to Sydney. When I got there first thing I noticed were humidity blisters all over the bonnet, the car still looked reasonable, then we opened the bonnet and their is like car under body paint through out the engine bay but quite obvious was a CK14 number on the front slam panel. The slam panel though had definitely been replaced and not a good job, the strut mounts are covered in thick bubbly paint so can't see a number there. It does have three bolt crossmember but the strengthening brackets from inner guard to the panel holding the compliance plates had been screwed on and the screws are hard to see from such thick paint. 
Anyway it all looked and seemed not right to me I told him if we could expose the strut I might still consider it but without would offer far less. Anyway walked away from the deal still need my deposit to be refunded.
Finally does anyone have any info on the blue one in Glenwood that was apparently the wide bodied SVO it got up to around $8500 on Ebay and disappeared with at least 5 days to go, it was matching numbers apparently. Still looking for a good honest V6 if anyone has any ideas let me know. Keith

Or the very best one you'll see, (red v6 manual, white interior) but, it'll be around 40

Re: the "wide bodied svo" car, never heard of one. I suspect it's a regular capri that's had the wheel arches flared at some point.

Sorry Mac1capri just left Perth. Dammit but sort of been in and out for six months and never looked or seen a Capri. Flooded one of the shopping centres their last week on the last job of the year so not to happy with that. But if you have a suggestion let me know. I have a Perana i bought this year love it but don't want to drive it, I bought a project V6 but after spending no time at home want something running and in good nick to enjoy, perfect example or daily runner I don't care I will love it to bits but it will never be the Perana. It will be enjoyed as much if not more. Keith

well it didnt sell - back up again on ebay

Youd be far better off with my friends red one or Pauls Teal Glow one

As you know a bit about capris think of where they typically rust then ask for photos taken during the resto to see if those areas were properly addressed.  And have a look at the dash switches, the pics are not that easy to zoom in on but they don't seem to have the icons on the left.  Maybe its just the photo or maybe they are in upside down or a from a LHD. 
 
It's a hard car to figure out.  He went to the trouble of putting in the foot pump window washer for the sake of originality, but then fits door trims that dont have the correct pattern.

Hi all just an update. Happy man I got my Chrissy present. The white one came up again and I'm in Coffs Harbour now driving her back to Sydney. The guy is a panel beater and has done the work himself asked the right questions and got answers but who knows for sure. I know where these things rust and could not find any hint of a bodgy on the body when I inspected it. The dash switches are not correct and nor is the door trims but as a beer drinking smoker I'm not a purist just looking for that beautiful Capri. So saved some money on my last attempt which should cover Rego and transfer. The paint is wonderful the finish is spectacular but all in all the rego papers say Capri. Will post more detailed pics when I get her home. Keith
