SIERRA HOOFPRINTS
The Official Newsletter of the Sierra Mustang Club - February 2016
Founded 1981-Sacramento, CA
Dedicated to the Restoration and Preservation of all Ford Mustangs
Mustang of the Month
Every Mustang has a story behind it. If you would like to see your car and its story on the front page of the newsletter,
send a picture of your car and it’s story to the Editor at dnporter56@comcast.net. (Cars selected in order of submittal.)
This month we feature 1971 Mustang T5 Mach 1 owned by Doug Schulze
Doug’s Story: I'm a relatively new member & haven't attended many activities as I live in Amador county. My brother, Reed
Schulze in Davis (also a Sierra Mustang Club Member), got me interested in Mustangs after he bought his first one in 1967, a
3spd 289 coupe. I bought this T5 Mach 1 in August, 2014.
In 1971, 277 T5 Fastbacks were exported to Germany. Only two were 1971 Mach 1′s. It is believed one was destroyed long
ago in Europe. This one survived. It’s not only a rare “One of One” car, but it’s also fully restored. It was treated to a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration including original build sheet, export and import documents, and window sticker.
The laser straight body was painstakingly refinished in original factory bright blue metallic with silver Mach 1 stripes and accents. It has the Mach 1 Ram air hood, rear deck spoiler, color keyed racing mirrors, and Magnum 500 wheels with Goodyear
Eagle GT 2 radial tires. Under the hood is a 351 cu. in., 285 hp 4 barrel engine backed by a C-6 automatic transmission, 3.00:1
trac-lok differential and competition export handling suspension . This car looks and drives better than it did the day it rolled
off the assembly line.
The links on page 3 will take you to articles about the T5 in general and this car in particular.

Doug Schulze’s 1971 T5 Mach 1
Doug says one exception to the info in the articles is that it's NOT the only T5 Mach 1 in the US.
The T5 registry has this car & 6 other T5 Mach 1's listed.... one in Washington state, 4 still in Europe, one
“location not listed” & mine in Calif.
Gary Hansen in Pleasanton has two 1966 T5 fastbacks with consecutive
VIN numbers. Another interesting fact about the T5…the odometer & speedometer are in kilometers. Doug
says he keeps a conversion chart in the car.
