Default Re: Ford Capri Vin/chassis number

I would concur with Cosworthfreaks info. Sounds like a V6 shell - should also have a shorter radiator cowl from bonnet slam panel to radiator face. About 6inch rather than 8-ish for 4cyl.

Also, by Aug 1970 (at least) the seatbelt mounting points were near the top of the B pillar like modern cars. The 1969 cars had them about half way towards rear under the rear side 'D' window (like my old 69 1600GT). Folklore suggests they were moved in UK pressings to conform to some svedish svafety reg.... and the Capris came to OZ in CKD form.
