No pic of the chassis stamp in the UK listing.  Should a 70 bonnet have a rear vent?  There was one in Perth advertised a while go as a matching car but the engine number matched the plate but the body didnt.  Tag and engine from a 72 had been put in a 70 body.  He didn't know and took the ad down after I showed him but scary thing is people were openly telling him that they would take the engine and plate so they could rebirth it. 

70's bonnet should have a vent, but maybe it was replaced because of damage? It was supposedly resprayed prior to it's previous ebay listing a number of years ago, so maybe a different bonnet was added then.

GTV6, was that car you're talking about in Perth Peppermint Green?

A lot of ID tags have a separate SVO section that is left blank

It wouldn't worry me if a Capri was a re shell - as long as I struggled to pick it - just good another one well saved. A half baked 4 cyl conversion deserves to be canned.

The matching numbers angle does nothing for me - a nicely presented v6 Capri is enough. I never look at engine numbers at a concourse - seems a bit over the top

No its the red one in Serpentine.  Just relisted and still advertising as matching numbers.  Matching 72 engine but based on chassis number is a 70 body.  Plate says yellow fire but you can see original colour of the body is white.

I spent an hour going over it last time, I reckon it would frighten even you.  Looks a lot better in the photo.  As his ad says the body is gone, not one panel salvageable.  Even the bonnet too far gone.

So I'm up to the primer stage with this one. B/c ford have no records of what colour it was I figure I can paint it as I want. what's the nicest colour u could paint a v6 Capri? It did have a white interior..

I reckon White as it suits all tastes. What color was it originally though. Ford is dismal regarding records etc. I have a car ford reckon they sold but no one can give me any records on. It's as if the car was never registered in any state. I got conformation that the motor used to be in a Capri that was registered but not in the car with same engine number. I've been through police, road and traffic authorities through 4 states as well as Revs and the new PPSR. All say no information available. Not stolen but no records ever. How does that happen?

My sons father in law who's retired and lives up country finished the last work of art I gave him (pictured below) - don't tell me your jealous - I know u would be, and has been working on this Capri. He tells me it's all ready to happen - colour wise..
