She sure came out nice. Reading the comments there were a few 305 haters. In that light of a truck it should be a great power plant. Good luck on the sale

You can't auction any vehicle on BaT without a hater or two popping in. You just have to roll with it. On the whole, the comments have been mostly positive, so it's been easy so far.

Nice. My dad had a '65 C20 fleetside long bed - that's what I learned to drive in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

My dad had a 64’, in-line 6 and ‘3 on the tree’. He wouldn’t spend the $15 for a dealer installed AM radio. Traded that in on a 70’ Datsun 510 wagon. It had a radio.

Up next, Project #6 - 1964 Chevy C-10

Should be picking up a stalled project tomorrow. A '64 C-10 short step side. Converted to a 305 V8 (5.0L) and a overdrive manual transmission. Not as fast as it looks or as it will sound, so I hesitate to call it a "hot" rod -- maybe it's a warm rod.

This will be a new experience for me, I do NOT need to paint this one! Oh happy day!



Never knew Chevy used Chrysler transmissions. Great job finishing it.

Can’t wait… I grew up with a friend that had five of these beauties. What color is it going?

Always thought it was nicely styled but never understood why it wasn’t a hatchback.

@arne Any chance this is the correct front fender emblem/nameplate for your Capri? Sure looks like it, but I can't find any clear pictures online and the part number on the sticker doesn't show up in a Google search. NOS part that came with a stockpile of parts I bought years ago at an estate sale. Marked "made to west German specification." The part number starts with a 74 and I believe the V6 in 1974 was a 2.8. The back is marked "G 68250" and a search does show that as a Capri part, although I can't find a picture. Yours for free if it's for your car.

At about the same time the gremlin and the pacer were out there with a hatchback. I’m pretty sure they did make a hatchback too

Color - Original looks to be a silver-blue, so I think I'll bring that back.

Hatchback was introduced in '74 (Europe) or '76 (US).

Yes that is correct for my car! I'd love to have it. PM me and we'll work out the details.

@arne

ford capri = one of coolest cars from late 60s/early 70s.

the hot oz capris got the super-roo sticker same as the big falcon GTHO V8s.
same sticker i sent over to the @Maltese Falcon

have not seen one in the flesh out on the streets down here for a long long time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
all hidden away in collections these days.
same sexy little rectangular headlights that the ford escorts had.
some great cars came out of ford UK / ford Europe.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Interesting. In the US they were sold as Mercurys.
