1974 Ford Capri 3.0
- Engine
- 3.0L six-cylinder
A Ford Capri saloon understood by its vendor to be an ex-Group 1 racing shell, possibly dispatched new via the Ford Motorsport department, based on a VIN plate notation referencing that unit. Dormant since approximately 1985, the car retains period racing features including a welded-in roll cage, twin-filler fuel tank, BBS split-rim wheels, uprated brake servo, and fire suppression remnants. Offered as a barn-find requiring full restoration, it represents a potential candidate for historic Group 1 competition.
