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.
