SSNJim Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The Capri II was sold in the US during the 1976-1/2 to 1978 model years. Capri I ran until 1974, and the Capri II was replaced in the US by the Fox body Capri about 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdonm Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 That Capri II body style was a '75 in europe, and a '76 in the US. However those bumpers were never used in the US. We got big battering rams, not little chrome things. Those look like bumpers from the '73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slantasaurus Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Rick, I just built that exact kit last year for the Cannonball, the grille on it is the optional "custom" piece from the kit. From what I was able to figure out from the kit box, instructions, and decal sheet I believe it was a 1975 Capri II. Its a very nice kit considering its age, stands up well compaired to modern kits.
