Here my Marty report. Have fun with it.

1972 T5 Mach 1 i buy the car on 6.06.2006 from the first owner. The car was in bad condition and i restore it .Finished it in 2010 (but i find ever a thing that i can make better, faster ... :) )

The T5 specials are the metric speedometer, export label and the T5 package.

The t5 package incl. straggered shoks, HD shocks, springs and radiator.

Steering wheel lock, light modifications and all mustang emblems are delited and /or changed to T5 emblems.

HOPE TO SEE MANY MORE MARTY REPORT FROM OTHER CARS HERE! LET US SEE YOURS :)

As far as I know, Ford couldn´t use "Mustang" because in Germany it was a trademark of Kreidler motorcycle company. So they used T5 instead of Mustang.

Take a short look at the german Mustang:

Yes you are right. The Kreidler Mustang cross is not so fast, but its cool , too.:cool:

From 1951-68 has Krupp the rights on the name , from 68-78 Kreidler.

Here is a Krupp mustang :D

Very nice T5 David! Got pics of the motor? I've heard the story about these T5's before but can't recall hearing your version. Very interesting and makes a lot of sense. I really like that Kreidler scoot! That tank has a nice shape for a bobber or cafe racers. Thanks for posting!
