I'd rather have a T5 than a T-5.

 

Yeah its a 69 T5 Fastback German Export, 351, with AC, Disc Brakes and is exactly the same image of the pic that "Hotrodfords posted".... I was interested in this car because of the originallity.

 

Strictly speaking, it’s either a Mustang OR a T5.

Or a Mustang with a T5

Or a T5 with a T5 😉

You must have been an English teacher LOL!

 

Personally, I feel it can be read both ways, and dependent on the language used. Especially since the OP is stateside and how many "T5 tranny-ville" posts have we all see, read, and answered.

 

I thought 'black out hood'

 

I misread it as well...

 

Hi All, was looking a an original 69 Mustang and is a T-5, does this really add any value or
is it just add to the kool factor?

Thanks Hartford, CT

Sorry, as a Ford Novice, figured the experts would see through my post. I was referring to a Mustang Fastback Export car T-5, "Not a Transsmision"....

It was my skimming type of reading that got me on this one. I read the "is" as "has" and went from there. My apologies and look what happened to your thread.

We never assume anything and yet we always assume everything.

 

If changing from a Toploader 4 speed, I would consider it a downgrade.

 

Ahh. I have transmissions on the brain and I read that to mean a Mustang with a T5 transmission installed. It might add a small amount of value to be an original export Mustang, returned to the US and still have the T5 badging and so on. Rarity does not always equate to desirability nor liquidity but a couple hundred extra bucks for a good story isn't all together a bad thing.

 

When he called it a mustang I assumed he meant it has a t5.... and while being a T5 would make it rare and unique, I don't see much of a market for them so adding value either way is a toss up

 

Yep, I think being a T-5 is worth a little change $$. It sets you apart from the rest of the field, and is unique.

 

Depends on originality / other drivetrain/ purpose / overall condition and of course, the buyer.

 

You can scratch originality off the list with a T5, unless you're talking about the rest of the car.

 

I wouldn't give extra for it.
