DTM Ford Mustang GTs


You love watching early 90s footage of DTM races.  You've got your BMW M3s and Mercs.  You sometimes see a Ford RS500, an Audi, maybe even an Opel.  But sometimes, hold on, is that a Ford Mustang GT?


Blink and you'll miss it.

Yes.  I am convinced that in every old timey DTM montage on Youtube, there is three milliseconds' worth of footage of privateer-entered Mustangs.  I can hardly find anything on them on the net, and my inability to navigate German fan sites is a huge handicap.  All I know is that:

  • there were a few of them; 
  • they have either a white or black livery (how about that for journalism?); 
  • one of them was towed to the tracks by a Jeep Comanche pick-up truck sporting Cherokee limited edition gold rims; and 
  • they were not very successful.  
Still, it's cool just to think that American V8 muscle was running with those kraut mobiles around them 'rings.


Top photo was captured from this HD video of a DTM reunion in 2009.   The second photo was captured from this video which you've no doubt already seen thrice.  Bottom photos are from this guy.
