Hello, Muscle Cars Fans!

Hello, muscle cars fans! Yesterday we received a very interesting email from one of our readers from Central Florida who proudly served in the U.S. Air Force in West Germany from 1968 through 1971 - Mr. Norman Thompson. Click on Read more to learn an interesting story regarding why his car did not have the T5 badge. 鈥淭he article in question states that there were only two 鈥淭5鈥?Mach1 versions of the Mustang delivered to Germany in 1971, and that may be true. The article also suggests that the other one was still in Europe. I purchased it through the Base Exchange via the Ford dealer in Frankfurt W. Germany. The car looked very much like the author鈥檚 car, deep blue with silver trim and white interior with silver inserts on the seats. The car had a 351 Cleveland motor with four-barrel carburetor and a four speed Hurst transmission. 鈥淗ere is the unusual part of the story.

There was no 鈥淭5鈥?badge on the car when I arrived at the port in Bremerhaven to pick up the car, which was required by German law. I spent hours with the officials at the port trying to work out some way I could pick up the car when the badging was not correct. The Ford Dealer in Frankfurt who was the dealer of record could not locate a T5 Badge, and the Ford dealer in Bremerhaven said 鈥渘ot my problem鈥? After a good 6 hours of haggling, a highly placed German customs official took pity on me and said I had been put through enough pain and released the car without the T5 badge affixed. He told me if anyone ever questioned me about it just say it fell off. The car sounded wicked and ran like a scalded jackrabbit. I sadly and foolishly sold the car in 1973 to a young student at UCF (University of Central Florida). If you ever spot my Mach 1 please let me know. I would love to have it back.
