ECJ Capri 1968-74
G Germany
A Cologne factory
E Capri
C 2dr Coupe
LK Built 02/71

QZ RS 2600 HC Engine
5 Manual transmission
U heavy duty axle

3Q Peppermint green metallic
AQ.... Can’t find!

But if that’s not what you we’re asking, it was an interesting exercise anyway!

Hi Mike, I’d already found the first part of the chassis number breakdown but the drive train info confirms what I thought. The interesting thing is a lot of the other early 70’s race chassis had a very similar number even though the build dates are not even close. 19998 seems fairly common so was that a factory allocated number for race cars?
