Default 1970 Ford Capri "super roo"

Hi fellas,

Bit of background first up - my friend past away last away last year and his wife has tasked myself and my father in law with getting his 1970 Capri up and running and over the pits so we can all enjoy it as a weekend car.

Now I've always loved this car, my father had a 3L V6 when I was growing up in NZ which he would race at the port Street races.

Now for the tricky part, my knowledge base on the platform is nil. This is meant to be a 3L GT "Super Roo", my question is how do I figure out if this is correct, or if someone has just chucked a decal on and put some bonnet pins on.

As for the mechanical side, we have pulled the master cylinder off so we can rebuild with fresh seals, pulled the front brakes and discs off (which were vented discs, not standard until the mk.3?). It's running quite nicely but once we can stop it nicely, we will be going over the pits for the real "to-do list"!

I'm just looking for a bit of a hand really, what should we be looking for, and what do we actually have!

Thank you team, I will attach photos once I can!
