The French Connection

Answering to Andy:
The T5 name for the Mustang was only used in Germany. The name Mustang was already a registered name used by the KHD company, a trucks and marine engines producer. The Export Division of Ford refused an agreement with KHD to buy the name, in spite of weak asked sum. (US$10000)
T5 was the code name in 62 for the Mustang project. Pull out the 8 Mustang emblems (2 fenders, 4 wheels, steering wheel, fuel cap) was a baffling problem. As others export models, the T5 where prepared with heavy duty suspension and export brace. Most of T5 still running in USA arise from GI's purchases in Germany.

All Great Information and History thanks for sharing this information with all of us here!
Question........... do you see many 79 to 93 mustang's in France?
Are they popular common or desirable? (in demand) are people in France Looking for
these cars..... SSP or others... like GT's or 5.0 type cars?
Also is it Hey Men .......or Hey Man? which do you want to say?:shrug:

Q1: no, the 79-93 Mustang are not common in France and in Europe. This car was not very popular because of his lack of character and his look ... dubious.
For us, this car as the name Mustang but not the soul. It is a quite interest for the vert.
SSP is very very rare and demand is peanut.

Q2: Scrap that, I just wanna say "hey guys !" or HOO hoo, listen to me !

Here is the stats for our club, cars per years.

had no interest in
And ....Also
seen no reason for the 80's Mustang's
until I drove one and realized these are sleeper cars.....
sleeper car = performance that is not apparent visually as a FAST Car!
sleeper car= Car that is not Fast or performance in appearance but is Fast!
sleeper car =car that looks like a car that has a 1.3 Liter
but has a much larger Motor 5.0 or greater!
You need a 80's Mustang in France !!!!!!!!! And a SSP Police car would
be really cool!:cool:
