Hello from US, I am a T5 owner

[srhenson]

Hello, My name is Stacy Henson from Illinois in the US. I have owned my 1967 T5 since 1984. I am in the middle of a comolete restoration. I am not sure if anyone here can read english, but I will add the Google translated version as well. I enjoy reading from this forum, and I plan to post and ask question from time to time.


Hallo, mein Name ist Stacy Henson aus Illinois in den USA. Ich besitze meinen T5 von 1967 seit 1984. Ich bin mitten in einer vollständigen Restaurierung. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob hier jemand Englisch lesen kann, aber ich werde auch die von Google übersetzte Version hinzufügen. Ich lese gerne in diesem Forum und plane, von Zeit zu Zeit Fragen zu stellen.

Hi stacy

Most of the users here understand English. Welcome to the forum. If you want, please show us some pictures of your t5.

Hi Stacy, welcome to this side. Nice to hear of a guy having same car for decades What is the engine size, are you doing the resto all on your own. Where do you come from in Illinois?
Regards

Thank you for welcoming me.

Currently my car is in the restoration shop. I neglected her for many years, since my financial situation was not good for several years. I am in a better place now days financially so I am doing a complete resto. I'm going back with mostly new parts, and only doing a few minor upgrades, since I'm not too worried about increasing or decreasing the value as I would never sell her. This car will be passed on down to my son whenever I finished with her,

She has a 289, Coupe, White with Red interior. Was sold to a US serviceman and he drove it in Germany for 2 years and then shipped her to New York as he left Germany. He traded it in in Louisville KY, I found her in 1984 in Benton Ky (where I'm from Originally) I currently live in Goreville Illinois.

Hello, Stacy,
a warm welcome to the forum.
It is interesting to hear that someone in the USA is restoring the German version of the Mustang.
I am looking forward to hearing more about the project.

Thank you Mado! I plan to do a complete write up on its history and pictures of the complete restoration process.

Hi Stacy, good to see you made it here as well.
Not everybody here yet knows that Gary Hanson handed over the T-5 registry in a sort of retirement process to Mark Cordery late last year. So just a sidenote to our audience, though MCA members should have read about it already.
Mark has updated your information in his boxes of documentation and files, the online version is regular updated at www.fordt5.com, but he first goes through all entries of the 30 years to feed his brain memory before changing the online version.
Welcome to the forum.

Das hier is ein Forum,in dem eigentlich Deutsch geschrieben wird.
Man kann ja auch nicht in den Ami Foren seine Beiträge in Deutsch Schreiben,da wohl die wenigsten da drüben Deutsch können.

Achja,willkommen hier im Forum Stacy.
