The car you always promised yourself!
That was the original marketing back in the day, and it still rings true today.
Britains answer to the iconic Ford Mustang, and just as successful in its own right, an instant sales success again for Ford which became one of the most popular and instantly recognised cars of its period.
This is a very rare opportunity to own a genuine numbers matching top of the line 3000 E Pre Facelift MK 1 V6 Manual Capri!
Doubtful you would find another example of this particular model available today, and if you did it would be fair to say it wouldnt be as good of a survivor as this car is.
According to the extensive documentation, original hand books and original ownership papers, this NZ new V6 Executive Capri was sold and delivered to its first owner on the 29/06/1971 from Johnstone Motors Ford Dealers of Taupo, to a no doubt very proud Mr Chappel of Tokoroa.
This very special car would have been almost as rare back then as it is now.. as very few 3000 Capris made it out of the eighties and nineties alive, with most being either wrecked or butchered or both, but this one somehow manged to do just that, and it would appear that it also survived without being involved in any kind of major accidents either, as it has one of the best unmolested bodies we have ever seen on a Mk 1 Capri. The front guards appear to have never been replaced, and all of the original sealant is still in its place in the engine bay, along with the unique 3000 gussets and strengthening plates, and unusually the rear wheel arches have never been rolled up either.
The straight clean body has been repainted in its original Fern Green frost metallic a few years ago, and still presents very well today.
The unique E interior trim is in remarkable condition for its age, refreshing in factory Black with the correct heavy pleating in the seats and the padded instrument panel as per the E spec, all retained along with a very tidy un cracked dash and surround, and correct alloy spoked steering wheel.
The engine has historical receipts for a past rebuild, and runs strong with plenty of the torque these cars were so popular for back in the day, with this example running through a nice shifting 4 speed manual and on to the correct heavy duty Salisbury diff.
Period correct old school Mini Lite mags with new tires finish off the appearance package, and the first issue old black licence plates have also thankfully survived.
This old darling is an absolute pleasure to drive with plenty of old school low down grunt, a magic sound track, and a fantastic over all appearance that instantly puts a smile on your face!
