Metric gauges converted from metric to standard
decades ago upon being shipped back to the United States by a previous owner
When is a Mustang not a
Mustang? When it’s a T-5, like this 1966 convertible that was exported to
Germany, a country where the “Mustang” copyright was held by a truck
manufacturer. Since Germany was an important sales district because of American
servicemen stationed there, Ford marketed the Mustang as the T-5, one of the
earliest code names for the new pony car. Instead of Mustang lettering on the
front fender, the German exports carried a small ”T-5” emblem, along with other
special equipment like metric gauges and stiffer “export brace” for cowl-to-shock-tower
support. The T-5 Registry estimates that only 340 1965-66 T-5s exist. This T-5
convertible from the Wayne Davis Collection is also a GT model, an option that
added a 289 CI 4-barrel V-8, Special Handling Package, front disc brakes,
quick-ratio steering, grille-mounted fog lights, side stripes and trumpet
exhaust tips that extended through the rear valance. A quality restoration by
Thunderbirds Etc., the Nightmist Blue T-5 is also well-equipped with factory
options, including an automatic transmission, under-dash air conditioning with
“short” floor console, power convertible top in white, Rally Pac tachometer and
clock on the steering column, styled steel wheels with white-stripe tires, and
dual outside mirrors. Under the hood is a nicely detailed A-code 289 that came
from the factory with a 225 HP rating. The interior is the optional and
attractive two-tone blue and white Décor version, also known as the “Pony”
interior, that adds bucket seats with embossed running horses in the
upholstery, molded door panels with courtesy lights and wood-grain trim. Many
years ago upon its return to the U.S., a previous owner replaced the original
metric gauges with U.S. units. Splendid in its appearance and unique in its
rarity, this well-optioned and wonderfully restored German export GT
convertible is listed in the T-5 Registry.
