Finished in factory-correct Ivy Green with Ivy Gold interior, this extremely rare T-5 is an amazing piece of Ford Mustang history that is as elusive as it is desirable. With 132,000 cars registered to U.S. Army staff in Germany in 1965, Ford knew it needed to make selling its new Mustang there a priority. However, with the Mustang naming rights already being held by two other German companies, Ford was faced with a dilemma: pay $10,000 to acquire the naming rights, or call the Mustang something else. Ford chose the latter and badged all German market cars with the name T-5, which had been Fords internal name for the Mustang during development. The name Mustang is found nowhere on the car, making for a very unique car when closely inspected. There were also several small differences made to meet German road regulations, as well as being equipped with a beefier Shelby GT-350 suspension to handle the more unforgiving European roads. Production numbers for 1965 and 1966 cannot be verified, but numbers from 1967 and later total only in the low hundreds per year. With 559,451 Mustangs produced in 1965, finding an example that numbers in the hundreds at best is incredible. It was estimated that just under 300 T-5s were made in 1965, whereas 76 exist today. Only 26 fastbacks remain in existence today, and only 2 happen to have the 200ci inline 6. This incredibly rare T-5 is on the T-5 registry. This car remains with only 5,370 ORIGINAL miles, after its assembly date of January 14th, 1965, with only about 400 miles on the professionally rebuilt engine. U

Are you Ford's next Bullitt Mustang? [w/poll]
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
