I always wanted to know. Did Mustangs sell well in Europe? |
|

Those early models probably sold better than all other ones, but I do not know in which quantity... |

Well known and a lot of people liked it, but, compared to the price in the USA and to the prices of other cars on the local market, the Mustang was very expensive, at least too expensive. P.S. I mean the first Mustangs, like that one above. The Mustangs after the middle of the 70ies (the later, the worse) weren't noticed over here. -- Last edit: 2008-02-12 23:52:04 |

This one is a 1966.And if I recall right,they were called a "T-5" in the early years,something about a copyright on the name "Mustang" by a bicycle mfgr in Germany?? (FYI: I had a brand new "1973 Mustang"....but it was the bicycle?) -- Last edit: 2008-02-13 02:58:15 |

@Buc: yes. The companies Kreidler and Krupp had the copyright for "Mustang". A Krupp Mustang is not directly a bicycle: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Krupp_Mustang_SWK70.jpg It's the small brother of the legendäry Krupp Titan. The engine was an aircooled twostroke-diesel. The Kreidler Mustang was an 80ccm motorbike. |

From Wikipedia: Couldn't they find another horse name, to at least match the symbol used on the grille?  -- Last edit: 2008-02-16 12:10:56 |

The irony of it is,at many of the larger bases,you could buy a new US built car thru the AAFES Base Exchanges....and they sold the Ford Mustang as a "Mustang"?? Also,a very popular thing among owners of T-5's was...you guessed it!....to have somebody in the US you knew to get & send you all the "Mustang" emblems,for all I know they might've even been in the trunk when bought new??? (And Ingo is right: After the '73s,they weren't popular,and were never as common as here.Very much a "Prestige" car.) |

I remember them both.(Krupp/Kreidler Mustangs and Titans)But "Mine" was the 1 K.P.("Kinder-Power")version? Metallic Red,with black 'Banana' seat,Chromed 'sissy bar' on back,a 3 speed bike with a gear shift like a car. Rode it for years until I got "too big" to ride it. I still have pix,might have to find & post.(Was my "big" Christmas present in 1973!) |

how do we distinguish european versions from US ones? As we have a lot of Mustangs in european movies from that times.. So maybe more of those are T-5s... |

Only all in german sold Ford Mustangs from April 1964 - 31.12.1978. (first T-5, later T5) and a lot of "german T5s" was buy from US-Army peoples and they shipping the cars after his army time back to USA! http://www.ponysite.de/fmcog/t5/adv-3-6.jpg german Mustang Club T5-page in english http://www.ponysite.de/fmcog/t5/t5_neu.htm -- Last edit: 2009-10-28 23:22:36 |
