1970 Ford Capri Perana – South Africa’s V8 Legend

 Built by Basil Green Motors in collaboration with Ford South Africa, the Capri Perana is the ultimate homegrown muscle car, combining American V8 power with European balance. Powered by a 302 cu in Ford V8, the Perana achieved 0–100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and a 228 km/h top speed, making it a South African racing icon of the early 1970s.

This example is a genuine BG-stamped Perana, featuring period-style modifications including a vented bonnet, flared arches, wider Rostyle Chrome wheels, and Datsun SSS taillights, all popular 1970s upgrades. It now runs a Ford 302 V8 with Edelbrock intake, electronic ignition, and a Borg Warner T5 five-speed gearbox Ford Sierra XR8 setup

Retaining its Original Basil Green chassis/Vin plate (BG124), correct subframe mounts, and dual-bar rear axle setup, this car remains an authentic piece of South African motoring history. Increasingly rare and highly collectable, the Capri Perana continues to embody the spirit of local performance engineering at its best.

An original Basil Green “BG” stamped Ford 302 V8 motor and side shift 4 speed manual gearbox plus many additional parts and components will be included in the sale of this very Rare and Unique South African Beauty.
