Richstang, the tags on the red GT350 in Milan from Auto Gespot (Italy) are I believe, from Zurich Switzerland , in your post # 160 above.

This pic was taken at the Belgium Mustang and Cougar Club.
I restored the car in Alabama and shipped it to Belgium when we lived there from 2001-2004.  It was a blast driving the car in Europe and to the local car shows.  I sold it before returning stateside.  The car is a factory raven black GT K code fastback with deluxe white pony interior.  Very rare care!  The guy pictured with me has cerebral palsy and a big fan of classic mustangs!  I took home the first place trophy that day!

Whoa...an early scoop light car in Japan! 
(any other info or photos on this one, maybe an owners name?)

Time to look through the good book to see if there any info in there!

Thanks honker,
We just ID'd that car recently as #0156 in France. If I find the thread I post a link here.


EDIT: there are several photos mixed in this thread of the same car.

Richstang, thanks for the info on the '67 #0156.

I Googled around and found another shot of that white '67 USL car in Japan with the same tag.

I wonder if you can trace the car through the license plate, or maybe some here has a contact in Japan. I believe you can do that in England  ?

Just found this, maybe they can help ?

Hey Mike that's amazing you found the front view of the same car!!!
The straight vertical grille would not normally be found on an early USL car, unless the grille was changed.
It also looks like it has the raised taillight panel and the GT stamped valance, two more later features.

No one in my circle of friend speaks Japanese here on the east coast. I looked around your web link, but nothing stood out as helpful.

Looks like a middle eastern tag,  could be an "Eleanor" ?
