And it’s usually just 4 numbers if I’m correct. Why stamp it for options once it’s built. I can only think it’s a Ford thing of workers who built it. If all their numbers came back for warranty they would know where the production line was going wrong.

only 11 deletes ? that makes my Teal Glow Capri pretty rare then  ..... are you mixing them up with the BSS specials ?
Yep Paul , We are even less common than the BSS yadah yadah . So that would be 3 that have appeared here now..Your Teal and 2 whites.. Isn’t that a can of worms..

Yes - both were deletes - no gt badges or blackouts I guess my taste is in line with the vast majority of 1970's capri enthusiasts ( given the number of deletes sold)

I must say I prefer the look with blackouts and stripes, but am highly considering taking mine back to original without blackouts.

Thought I would help with the stamp research.
05/70...1873
04/72...1833
Similar numbers for similar time of year?

Do you still have to provide a copy of your licence and/or proof of purchase?
