Broadly speaking, I think GTV6 Capri values are similar but slightly behind GTR Toranas (not XU1s). The reason GTRs are higher is they're a close relation to XU1s, which were successful at Bathurst with Brocky at the wheel. Capris have good Bathurst history, but not that good.

Take a look at this GTR. Very good resto, comes with original engine, excellent inside and out.

Now compare that to the violet Capri I linked to earlier. That Capri doesn't hold a candle to that GTR for quality and value for money, yet the Capri was listed for more. It's nice to see values for our cars go up, but like Whooligan said we shouldn't be unrealistic.

i think  the real difference bewteen the capri and why the torana is a bit more in value
is the peter brock factor and also that holden didnt really have much to compete against the ford back in the early days ...
 
ford were bringing out gt v8's mostly at the time and the lj was the only holden that had or stood a chance against the fords ..then came slr which isnt that great in value comapred to the same model ford xa xb  gt get a original ho gt phase 4 and the torana doesnt even come close to the value of the ho

now that xu1 is at 90,000 fully restored altho looks nice but there's no way id pay that for a resto xu1 ..
not sure if any of you blokes seen pawn stars australia  but they had a perfect example on that show unmolested original condition never been restored and everything on it xu1 in excellent condition and he couldnt get 75 gs for it
as all collectors know that anything in original condition excellent condition will always sell more than resto jobs
 
by the way did any of you blokes watch the brocky movie on tv
 
all i got from that show is that he was a wife basher  a womaniser  and a fruit loop
 
i still remember removing the polarizer from a few vl's at the time and storing them so nobody rips it as it was a motor auction , i was also perplexed at the time on how this thing worked ,
 
also showed how great allan moffat was as a person great character

The polarizer was a bit of an enigma.
I trashed (early 80's) a blue xu1 - bush bashed it to death up back of emerald vic -  and one of those green 307 monaros with gold stripes - we had to - all the crap we copped from the holden guys! haha. (The worst offence was being told capris were just a poor mans celica  - early 80's jibe) - still scarred.....

So for pricing what would an RS 3100 be in today's dollar. That for me is the benchmark dollar value an Australian delivered Capri would be worth. I personally don't like the facelift as the dash is not what I'm used to. Also Mk2 and 3s don't turn me on. I also believe that the Capri deserved the V8 and that is why I bought the V8 Perana. To me it's the ultimate Ford sold Capri but that's my view.

RS3100s are a bit more complex. They wouldn't generally make stupid money in Australia (unless they were low milage survivors or fully restored) but in the UK they are climbing in value. With the exchange rate factored in, there have been a few sell at auction in the UK for around $100k (Aus equivalent). These are fully restored examples, but some which have been rebodies have sold for around 20% less.

If you had an RS to sell you'd be better off advertising it in Europe/UK at the moment. Not sure what they've sold for in Oz of late, maybe others will know.

What are the headings for each of the columns Terry? I'm guessing from left to right will be described something like: 'Excellent', 'Good roadworthy example' and 'all there but needs work'.

There will be caravaning in my 3000E lol
