Dk finished in factory-correct ivy green with ivy gold interior, this extremely rare t-5 is an amazing piece of ford mustang history that is as elusive as it is desirable. With 132,000 cars registered to u. Army staff in germany in 1965, ford knew it needed to make selling its new mustang there a priority. However, with the mustang naming rights already being held by two other german companies, ford was faced with a dilemma: pay $10,000 to acquire the naming rights, or call the mustang something else. Ford chose the latter and badged all german market cars with the name t-5, which had been fords internal name for the mustang during development. The name mustang is found nowhere on the car, making for a very unique car when closely inspected. There were also several small differences made to meet german road regulations, as well as being equipped with a beefier shelby gt-350 suspension to handle the more unforgiving european roads. Production numbers for 1965 and 1966 cannot be verified, but numbers from 1967 and later total only in the low hundreds per year. With 559,451 mustangs produced in 1965, finding an example that numbers in the hundreds at best is incredible. This incredibly rare t-5 is on the t-5 registry. This car remains with only 5,370 original miles, after its assembly date of january 14th, 1965, with only about 400 miles on the professionally rebuilt engine.
