I am no Capri expert, CSL`s are my thing. But I am not so suprised at the price being asked for the Capri replica, assuming it is a true replica of the `74-`75 period when both Ford & BMW were using 24v engines. The factory CSL`s of that period were in no way similar to the production cars (or Group 1,,.). Apart from the basic body, trim, windows, etc..and the engine block...everything else was different. To find or make these parts is very expensive & time consuming. Although with modern technology it is now possible to acheive the same result with a lot less expense. I suppose it comes down to how you want to do it, & if you want to drive a car like it was in 1975. You only have to look at the speed difference between the factory cars & the good privateer teams to see that. Often 15-20 seconds around Spa.
And Peter, I have an invoce from when the BMW factory sold my CSL in 1974 for DM 99,000. The internet tells me that was about £15,000 ! Probably about the cost of 3 houses.
So far as I know no Camaro ever came close to beating the works Fords or BMW`s.
