O.k., I've separated them four you. The details we should discuss in private messages. You have 300 grams "free" - o much weight I can add for the same postage.
Issue 4/04 unfortunately is lost, this was destroyed by leaking water. But I've found three other Mustang-related issues, which I can add.
- first buyer's guide 12/86
- "Nachgehakt" - a writer test the cars, offered in their own advertises from 8/05
And two issues of the "Oldtimer Praxis", one restoration report (4/09) and a real interesting story "First hand" (8/97), about a lady from Heidelberg, who owns a Mustang Fastback since the 3.November 1965 - she won all the "best original"-prizes on Classic Ford-meetings in the 90ies.
There are written some interesting details about the T5. This car was ordered in the USA by her husband, an US-GI, but imported as German version. The specific German stuff was, that there are some Mustang-horse-logo's on and in the car, but no badge, where "Mustang" was written. This was not allowed then. And for the German market (the high Autobahn-speed) there was a cross-piece in the front. The US-Mustang-Club has said, this is extremely rare, just 24 T5 with that part are known.
Strange, that many other parts were US-spec. Because the owner was a GI, it was running with US-plates, but when he quit the army, it got German plates - and many problems with the TÜV, because they haven't accepted a lot ot details.
About specific toy-models I don't know anything. I even don't know, if there were some German toy-brands, which have made Mustang-toys. The foreign-toys, Matchbox, Hot Wheels or so, will probably not have changed the names, not the boxes or blister-packing either.
Better we should ask the toy-experts. I'm not sure about that.
