Was working on the Corty today,when a guy from a couple of streets away stopped for a chat and offered to show me his Mk 1 Corty, a Stampede GT 302, it is well restored with Lotus dash, sprayed in Goodwood green, engine 302 V8 Ford with autobox, one of 2 special Ford project cars he said Iv'e not seen one before, anyone heard of them? he did not want any photies taken....

Me thinks he is pulln yer pisser IIRC, Stampeed was a name used by Uren and the race prepared cars for V8Capri, Ill check, Even with this, I dont think it as a 302. it was a 289 and Im fairly certain, if genuine it would have a 289. or even a 260, cos I dont think the 302 [68?] was produced untill the Mk1 was long finished in production

I did wonder, he also said that he used to have a V8 Capper, but it got crashed, I wonder if he just swapped the bit's over! made a nice job of it if he did though, it's got an aloy nameplate on the back with "Stampede GT 302" on it, look's real but maybe not from that car....

never heard of one of them
