Just arrived at Collectable Classics The Ford Capri was released in Australia on 3rd May, 1969 and was initially available only as a 1600 Deluxe or a 1600 GT.
The premium variant was the 1600GT (later renamed XL due to punitive insurance premiums for anything displaying a GT badge) which for a snip over $3000 ($37,000 today) bought full instrumentation, body stripes and higher-grade trim plus a more powerful 93bhp (69kW) engine tune with two-barrel Weber carburettor. Matched with a stronger close-ratio four-speed gearbox, the Capri 1600GT could nudge 160km/h with a standing quarter under 19 seconds. Built in very limited numbers these were replaced for the highly desirable V6 version. See build numbers below
