1970 ford capri

[michelle]

this was a kitbash between two   amt mid 70's mercury capi ll   parts cars  i  decided to mod into a 1970 german made  ford capri   i found some pics online of a left hand drive german made ford capri   so it was what i went with since i did not have a right hand  dash for it for the uk made ford capri   and only had one dash between the two parts cars  and if i messed up  when cutting it apart i would not have another to try agian  with 
i painted and decaled it to match a matchbox 1970 ford capri    i got recently  
the tail lights are from my parts box same with the wheels and tires  and the bumpers i cut apart  to make the split front and pack bumpers some  early 70's ford capris  had

Buddy of mine had a ford Capri when I was stationed in Germany in the 70s.  Cool car.  Thanks for posting, brings back memories.

Very nice, I like the look of the earlier side vents on the late body. I'll probably have to steal that idea from you

[PappyD340]

That's a sharp Capri!

Nice, Michelle.  I owned a yellow '74  2.8 V6 for a couple years, an ok but not really loved car.  I've found a couple nice yellow die cast early Capris in 1/16 and 1/43 scale, but never liked the Capri IIs enough to get and build the AMT kit.

It's sort of our Mustang over here in Europe Michelle.

I have a couple in the stash, they came from the US and Canada funnily enough.

You never see these built up, nice result from parts kits.

Interesting choice of a not-commonly-seen kit, and nicely done. I saw, and grabbed, one of those Matchboxes, too.

Great job on a parts box build. The taillights even are close the the German Ford Capri

I'd like to get one of the AMT kits. I have the Monogram, but it is a curbside.

Looks great.  I always liked that Capri and I am actually old enough to remember them on the street!

I see where you made the mods to make it like a Mk1 Capri.

Very nice clean looking build. I understand these were the affordable factory hot rod of the day at that time.

Cool!
