Ford Capri V6 GT Skid Pan

Here's a vid of me flogging my father in law's Capri GT on the skid pan. It's not a great video or necessarily a great piece of driving, but you don't see (or hear) many original V6 Capris going sideways in Australia these days. Also has amusing commentary and a mechanical failure towards the end. Enjoy!

Engine sounds great.. although I don't know if it's a skidpan, or a river you're driving in - seems to be a lot of water out there!(I had a '70 XL 4 cyl, 4 speed manual Capri as my first car)My dream is to get over to the UK sometime and find a nice late model RS Capri and bring it back to Australia.

Hey there the GT model with the 3.0 Essex was released in the UK, South Africa, NZ, Germany & Australia. The rest of Europe (inc Germany) were released with Cologne V6's (2.3 & 2.6).

No problem, I really love the Capri, Well I really love the small UK built ford's in general:) In fact i am really going to miss my 74 when it sells, I just have no room to keep three cars, I really wish I did they are wonderful auto's.Keep good care of this one she sure is a keeper! oh and thank you for a wonderful video I love watching this:)

lol yeah I guess it does a little. It's a 1971 GT 3000 with the 4 speed. Originally an auto but swapped for a manual. Not butchered tho so very easy to change back. I may be wrong but I think the "GT" with the 3 litre Essex motor was an Australia-only model... The GT badges on them are the same as an Aussie Falcon GT anyway. Not so good with my Capri history, more of an Escort man myself. Thanks for comment! :o)

That was adorable! Sorta like a puppy playing in a new found puddle! That Capri Looks almost exactly like my cousins Capri!, Is it a 73 Capri,2600 with 4 speed?

Thanks for your input Billy, very insightful. Perhaps when your balls drop you might learn how to drive and you can be man enough to post a video for us all to pay out on. I look forward to it.

Nah, as long as you keep it sideways it;s ok. It's when you drive it straight cars get waterlogged on there. :o) And being a Capri, any water that leaked in to the body just leaks out of the rust holes... Oh that's a bit harsh, that's a pretty good one actually.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
