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

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]
Tue, 20 May 2014The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
How new car shortages may impact your buying experience
Wed, 04 Sep 2013If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
