I am the new member with the Capri and that pic you posted was the exact car I had when I was 16 and the car that I am going to recreate. I think it is a beautiful looking car and cannot wait to drive it around this summer looking a bit rough but hey I have a plan. This is the car in storage here in Canada with some of my other cars

i loaned my car dolly to a friend this past weekend to pick up a 72 crown, pretty funky project i might add. further note i worked with a fellow in the early 80's (nepean ont) that had a capri with a funky vinyl top in a flower pattern. only car i ever saw that wasn't a straight colour for vinyl.

Didn't some late 60s or early 70s Mopars have some patterned roof material. Ed

 Yes, called The Mod top

Ya mind a little fuzzy there, I wasn't sure if I was thinking about a series of hippy type model kits or the real thing .Thanks Gearhead. Ed

Yup, the Mopars were Mod Tops, here's the registry, and lots of pics.

They'll be one for sell at the Toronto Classic car spring auction, a '69 yellow Barracuda (Mod Top).

My first car   mothers car)   1960 Morris Minor

 

heres a racer  (not mine)

 

There was a Dodge with a mod top at Syracuse last year. According to the owner it was one of 2 left. After looking at it you know why most guys pealed them off and replaced them with black or body color.

Pinto wagon first hot rod I was ever in, brothers friend owned it. It had a hopped up 4 cyl, Mag wheels, and fender flares done in metal. When I was 12 it was really cool.

Olds Omega, Help a friend build one, tubbed, 455 olds with a tunnel ram. Tilt front end, roll cage etc. Drank a lot of beer during that build.

my dream car, too bad its in nova scotia or would have already bought it

Looks to be the interior of a Grande Parisienne. I'm thinking '66?

I don't really miss seeing many of the models shown - and I like to 'dare to be different'...just not THAT different! ;^)

?? whats the purpose of this pic Carl?

 Not sure if this is why he posted the pic??   It's got four peddles...  

That's what I was thinking. I don't see anything out of the ordinary save for the custom wheel

sweet datsun 510 that was my dad's first car. I love the old 71 capri it's nice seeing different cars because no matter how fancy you camaro/mustang/ charger/etc they blend in usually.

 That's why I like them so much. So sick of the camaro this, chevelle that, mustang anything....even Mopars which I've always been the most fond of all look the same. The last moparfest I went to, I had glazed over by row 3. The only car in the whole event that stuck with me was the 64-65 Barracuda with a engine compartment stuffed full of a small block with a twin turbo. 

Not to mention the values of said cars. Its become stupid (not that a mint 510 hasn't reached big dineros)
