The rarest Mach 1

MUSTANG ENTHUSIASTS, LISTEN UP! HERE IS THE CAR FOR YOU. ONE OF ONE! 1971 FORD T-5 MACH 1 FASTBACK! 35,000 ORIGINAL KM (19,500 MILES)

FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS RARE CLASSIC, HERE'S THE STORY OF THE T-5. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF MILITARY PERSONNEL OVERSEAS, FORD, LIKE MOST OTHER MANUFACTURERS, EXPORTED VEHICLES FOR PURCHASE THROUGH THE MILITARY PX SYSTEM. THEY ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH THE MUSTANG. HDK, A EUROPEAN MANUFACTURER OF LARGE TRUCKS, HAD THE COPYRIGHT TO THE NAME MUSTANG FOR USE IN GERMANY. THEREFORE, BEFORE ANY MUSTANGS COULD BE EXPORTED TO GERMANY, THE NAME HAD TO BE CHANGED. SINCE T5 WAS THE PROJECT NAME OF THE ORIGINAL MUSTANG PROTOTYPE, THE MUSTANGS FOR EXPORT TO GERMANY WERE RENAMED T5. NEW FENDER EMBLEMS WERE ADDED, AND ANY REFERENCE TO MUSTANG ON THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED. IN 1971, 277 T5 FASTBACKS WERE EXPORTED TO GERMANY. HOWEVER, ONLY TWO WERE MACH I'S. IT IS BELIEVED ONE OF THE TWO WAS DESTROYED LONG AGO IN EUROPE.

Does it have a Marti report. My Mach1 was an export to France so it did not get the T-5 emblems. I'm sure people are wondering the $64K question - how much?

[Mach1Guy]

Looks to be really well done. Guessing its not cheap if its proven to be 1 of 1.

Thought Id add photos for posterity and in case it sells. I think the uniqueness of this comes strictly that Ford couldn't use "Mustang" because in Germany it was a trademark of Kreidler motorcycle company. So they used T5 instead of Mustang.

Looks sharp. At least they could still use the Mach 1 emblems.
