For 1971-72, the chassis number was on the drivers shock tower, although on a different part of it than yours is. That placement was where the 1970 cars had the engine number stamped, and they had the chassis number stamped on the slam panel.

Because yours was made earlier in 71, I suspect that whomever stamped it was used to stamping 1970 cars, or maybe that's where they started stamping the chassis number before they changed to curving the number around the strut top opening. I'd have to double check when that change started.

There shouldn't be a number on your slam panel, but there will be a 4 digit number on the passenger strut top, which I suspect may represent an overall build number sequence for Capris in a given year. I don't really have enough info to be sure of that though.

Cheers
