Funky 1500HP Ford from ESTONIA!

1. @1320video, the person that designed the First Generation Ford/Mercury Capri, as well as the First Generation Ford Cortina/Ford P 100/Ford Taunus, and the Ford Pinto/Mercury Bobcat, was named Philip T. Clark and not only was he ironically from the USA, but that he was also one of the four designers of, if not THE lead designer for, the First Generation Ford Mustang/Mercury Cougar. However, despite looking similar to the Ford Maverick/Sixth Generation Mercury Comet, the First Generation Ford/Mercury Capri, as well as the First Generation Ford Cortina/Ford P 100/Ford Taunus, and the Ford Pinto/Mercury Bobcat, all were built upon the same chassis, but the Ford Maverick/Sixth Generation Mercury Comet were built upon the same chassis as the First Generation Ford Mustang/Mercury Cougar, as well as the Ford (Americas) Falcon, Ford (Australia/Oceania) XK Falcon, Ford (Australia/Oceania) XL Falcon, Ford (Australia/Oceania) Falcon Van, Mercury (Canada) Econoline, Ford (Americas) Falcon Station Bus, Ford (Americas) Econoline Station Bus, Ford (Canada) Frontenac, and the Ford (Americas) Falcon Ranchero. Still, despite these truths, they do share a lot of similarity in the terms of shared parts, plus all of them tend to be super cheap platforms to make restomods, as well as racers that can do tuner, drifter, track, drag, and rally racing…seriously. Also, who does not love a big angry V8 engine in a little car like this one, or an Opel/Opel GT by Buick, anyway? Finally, technically, you all DID get the Ford Mustang, but Ford could not use the name of that vehicle, especially in Germany, as two companies, namely, Krupp and Kreidler, would not give the rights to the word "Mustang" to Ford, as they had the rights to that name in those countries all the way until the year 1978, so if you see an older model Ford Mustang in any other part of the world, then it would be called the T-5. The Ford Taunus was the German variant of what Ford UK, and practically everyone else in the world, got as the First Generation Ford Capri, and what the North American market got as the First Generation Mercury Capri (which, by the way, are also awesome track, tuner, drifter, rally, and drag cars as well).

2. I'm so glad someone get this car over the pond so americans can see it! Thanks man, beautiful Taunus.
   I owned 4 door '71, 2 door '74, 4 door '81.
   Now I'm in Canada moved from Croatia. If I ever win lotto, will buy coupe gxl, get it here and give it to Chip Foose or Dave Kindig for custom resto 🤪😉

3. It's like he was the younger brother of Mercury Cyclone and Ford Torino GT

4. You'd SWEAR you were looking at a TD Cortina from the front!

5. He said he's running a 1000hp, maybe a little bit more….. thumbnail says 1,500hp.

6. wow incredible Ford

7. Humble driver . . . cool car . . . loving all these foreigners competing with their own foreign cars in DW. I hope it becomes a regular thing and more and more can make it.

8. This taunus coupe was one of the cooler cars you could have in the 70's here in Europe, my dad had one (also red but with black vinyl roof) and had it nicely resprayed in 1986.
   He wanted to hand it over to me when I got my driver license, but than some tugs decided to flip the car on it's roof and total it, I still hate these people.
   Would have made such a good car to hotrod and is a sought after model from the early 70's now.

9. Lindo taunus !!

10. У меня Кортина МК 5 82 года с двигателем от сиерра 2,3 дизель с турбиной Украина

11. I right away saw that resemblance of an early 70s Maverick. Love how he said if it's a Ford keep it a Ford and if it's a Chevy keep it a Chevy. Hardly hear enthusiasts say that and do it.
    And if it's a Mopar keep it a Mopar with a 521 big block.

12. Great fun to watch this video. Cool guy! He really enjoyed the experience, and you could tell.

13. Cool car and the Estonian people are always cool!

14. 1:04
    "Ok, so this is not factory … ?"
    "No, no, its…fat lady"
    XDD

15. Läheb Eesti!!!!!!!

16. ford taunus looks like a cross between a capri and cortina from the 1970s

17. It kinda favors a 66 Dodge Charger. Cool car..

18. Hell yeah man! That thing squats!

19. im e-stonia

20. Taunus looks good to you only because you did not get them in USA. In Europe, at that time area it was as common and cheap as honda civics of today. People envy Ford Mustangs of USA and vice versa in this case I believe.

21. lolwut Estonian car on 1320video !!! 😀

22. I always thought Poland made these cars,He said Germany?.427,imagine a 429 cobra jet?,,,,,,,,Its a daily driver,and hauls a trailer,,how cool is that
