'Top Speed Germany' is a German KZbin channel for people who love cars.
My Name is Max and I film while driving cars. No matter if they are old, fast, loud or electric. They need to be special! With several onboard cams, I record everything important to show you High-Speed-Runs, Acceleration tests ( 0-100 kph / 0-200 kph / 100-200 kph / 200-300 kph ) and test drives on German Autobahn or Road. Please note, Germany is the country of "no speed limit" highways. So in some places, it's allowed to drive very fast. But please don't try this if you are not an experienced driver !! If you enjoy give a like and subscribe for more videos ;-) .

My dad was a military pilot & bought a 67' Mustang with the 289 motor. I took my driver's license test in that car at 16. A month later I had it on the Beltway around Washington DC doing the limit, which was about 70 mph back then, so everyone did at least 80. Even mum used to fly in that car. We had the Mustang for over 20 years. They become part of the family.

So raw, so analog, so physical. You can imagine all those parts working together like clockwork. No wires, computers, sensors, chips or plastic in between. It's beautiful! The noises, squeaks, the vibrations. You can almost smell this car; axle grease, gasoline and old upholstery. Just you and the car. Cars haven't been made like this for longer than I've been alive. And I'm in my 40's. I do have to say, you are brave. At 200kmh, those old brakes... well, you might as well not have any in case of an emergency. I can also see the vibration of the tires through the rear view mirror. Quite the experience!

[@O-plaat]

It depends on the owner, literally the first thing I did on mine was replacing the brakes to modern discs with a vacuum pump that combined with thicker suspension bars and stiffer springs do give it a safer feeling on European highways. Up until around 180km/h when the aerodynamics lift up the front side and you lose all steering. She will go up to 230 but considering the fact I just told you its safer not to.

Can't tell for certain but I thought when he was getting in there the pedal looked like it indicated disc brakes because any models that had disc brakes it indicated on the pedal because it was such a new thing.

Our family had a “68” fastback with a 289 years ago. Ocean blue was her color. There really is a huge difference in driving the older ones than the new ones. People today have no idea the difference that suspensions make in handling. You really had to be able to handle one. Love them

[@jonfklein]

Driving older cars like this is a much more sensory experience than modern cars. You really feel like you are operating a machine, feeling, hearing and smelling the engine, feeling the gears. You can understand how the car will respond to your inputs because they were much simpler machines.

If you’ve never been in the drivers seat of the ‘65-‘66 Mustangs and looked out over that long hood, it really was an amazing view. The 260 c.I. V-8 that was the first V-8 offered before the 289 was a great little engine. For very little money an Edelbrock aluminum intact and Holly 4-barrel carb would wake up the little 260 and it could hold its own with the 283 Camaro. Those were the days when any young guy with curiosity and ambition could have a lot of fun waking up those Mustangs. Just like this one.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

I went 90 in a 1973 Lincoln, 78 in a 1973 Mercury colony park, and 70 in a 1935 Hudson. The front hood in itself was an artform, the difference between a star point hood and then a wide expanse like a 1973 Lincoln is incredible.

[@stevenl378]

[@Wikkus]

Oddity alert: Camaro appeared in 1967. A '67 Camaro with a 283 would almost certainly have been a Swiss built example. Everything else in '67 -- even the Belgian-built ones -- had a 327 as the entry-level V8.

The race track was in Switzerland and is more suitable for go-carts since there is only one straight!

[@Vidata]

@@jurivlk5433 It might’ve had a new rear suspension setup. My friend upgraded his 68 fastbacks suspension and steering box and it handles like a dream. Over here in the US mustangs are knownas crowd killers which isn’t undeserved due to its notorious live axle it has had in the rear until 2015 allowing the back end to breakout pretty easily if you aren’t an extremely skilled driver. Only the svt cobras from 99-04 has IRS before then. Those handle great too.

@@rustyaxelrod surprisingly enough alot of the older cars do handle pretty well. the suspension was heavy and had little deflection due to being actual metal. but tires and shocks werent so hot at the time and everyone thought they were bad. modern tires and shocks will make most old cars drive like a new one. but many old cars have bump steer and that can be pretty scary. steering rack conversions have been getting more common as it cuts bump steer down a ton and makes them handle even better.

I understand that but it was on a freeway. Even a more modern car could get in trouble if something went wrong.

[@johnandrus3901]

Nice. Looks like a '65 with that gauge cluster. The '66 had a different cluster, which I believe was from the '65 GT package. Either way, it is nice seeing a first generation Mustang driving flat out.

[@E3lcpl]

the 66 also had different door handles and the side molding is different to on the 66.

With the horizontal chrome bars either side of the radiator grill Mustang, would indicate a 1965 model.

Guys... that's a European-spec Mustang. Sold new in Europe. They were optioned differently, often as models one year behind American versions. The SAME thing happened with American cars imported to Australia back then. Most notably, the speedometer was graduated in KPH, not MPH.

[@saharamustang3420]

@@NorthernChev it's not a T5, it's an imported US spec mustang. Has mustang script + the slapped on reflectors on the back. Changing the gauge face to kph is required for the registration process in Europe

Had a Springtime Yellow ‘66 2v 289 coupe for over 30 years. It sorta floated when I got near 100 mph. Miss it sometimes but it didn’t get driven enough. My 2010 4.6 ragtop with heritage Springtime Yellow GT stripes sounds just like the old 289.

[@SonderMann1982]

So much respect for that video!!! Pure ORGASM for a real car enthusiast even just to see and hear it :) This 'Stang' runs still impressive even now! Hard to imagine what people felt like back in the 60's riding this Pony ;) Thanks a Billion! Smashed Like and Subscribe buttons without any doubt!

[@jlmljames]

Being this is an imported mustang originally sold outside of Germany, I'm assuming from USA. (In Germany if memory serves me the Mustang was already copyrighted so it was called a T5 and didn't have the mustang script on the fenders.) It would appear this is a 64 and 1/2 or 65 being it doesn't have the 3 "finger" trim/ faux brake scoops on the rear quarter panels as well as the dash is a sweeping speedometer and warning lights with no other guages the 66 has the round speedometer and round gages for fuel, alternator, oil pressure, and coolant/engine temperature... miss my 66 I had

[@nomebear]

@@jlmljames I was fifteen when I got a new 64 1/2. White with black interior, It was a nice car, well equipped, had a stick shift, but there were much faster cars around in those days. Handling wasn't great in wet weather, the rear would break loose, and brakes were "just okay" for a factory model. If you wanted more, then Ford would certainly sell you a Shelby.

[@jlmljames]

@@nomebear That is true but the feeling of a car like that my 1st/3rd car was a '66 coupe (1991 my dad restored it) with a 289 2bbl with auto yes it was SLIPPERY on wet or even damp roads but when you knew how to drive it it was a blast driving it while the rear end was on edge of breaking loose was a rush. It would top out at 120-130mph from floating the valves. But cruising night with the fox bodies and cameros pulling besidfe me was fun as well (remember stock 289 2bbl) I would put it in wet weather drive (started out in 2nd gear not 1st) and not even look at the person beside me and wait for the light to turn... floor it wait till I was doing about 10mph and drop it into normal drive and t would shift into 1st ad the back tires would squeal for a bout half a second and the rear would shimmy once and I would take off like a bat out of torment while I would have about 3 car lengths ahead... fun times

[@STho205]

I've been over 120mph (200kph) in my sister's Mustang 68 when I was a kid. That was on backroad two lanes in Alabama. She was cute, tall, blonde and had a lead foot. The first three got her out of tickets. It rode like this at similar speed. She later had a 77 Cougar which had an 80mph speedo. It didn't have a top peg though. It'd wind around back to the zero rest. I have no idea how fast...but it looked similar and felt like a flying carpet compared to her Mustang and Maverick. She next bought a 79 Firebird Trans Am, T Top without the screaming chicken decal....but a Smokey and the Bandit edition. My little brother slammed that into a telephone pole a mile from the house on a 30mph residential, trying it out. Totalled it. I see that, despite claims to the contrary German Freeways still have a few left lane campers, and given 3 lanes trucks live right and good drivers live center.

[@halbichp]

You know that going in center or left line is illegal, right? You can use them for overtaking, sure. But after that manouvre, you must return back to the most right line. Unfortunatelly a lot of drivers are pain in the ..., blocking center or left line with slow speed. And you also can`t overtake them using one of lines on their right, which makes them even greater a**holes.

[@STho205]

@@halbichp odd that I see lots of photos of a solid line of OTR truckers in the right lane near Berlin and cars moving in lane 2 (middle) and passing in 3 (left). Hardly a car in lane 1 (right) Photographic evidence denies your stated rules.

@@Steve1766 As of Jan 1, 1969 all passenger cars (except converts) HAD to have shoulder belts. Some European cars (VW and Volvo to name a few) had the 3 point harnesses since the 60's. My father bought a 68 VW Squareback new and it had the 3 point harnesses. They were not single with one for the lap and one for the shoulder belts. My dad HATED them until I mentioned at supper Ralph Nadar's book and how it was more survivable in an accident if you were wearing seat belts. He started wearing them every day from that day on.

I tow a trailer and constantly overtaking, its pathetic. And on the freeways EVERYONE hogs the fast lane but don't do the speed limit.
