1970 Mustang Mach 1 Fastback Twister Tribute Nicely Refurbished

The story of the Twister Special is much like other promotional Mustangs of the '65-'73 era. with a couple of notable exceptions. Created for the Kansas City sales district as a way to garner attention and pump up sales volume. the Twister was unique compared to others in its muscular emphasis and multi-model application. Not only was the Twister theme applied to 96 Mustangs. but 90 Torinos and four Rancheros as well. All were performance oriented. and Twister historian Fritts explained that the original promo plan called for 100 Mustang Mach 1s and 100 Torino Cobras. All the Mustangs were to be fitted with 428 Super Cobra Jet engines and 3. 91 rear gears. while the Torinos were to be a blend of 429 CJs and SCJs. Whatever the reason. the final tallies were a bit lower. and half the Mustangs ended up with the new 351 Cleveland four-barrel. reportedly due to supply problems with the big FEs. According to Fritts. the cars debuted en masse at Kansas City International Raceway on November 7. 1969. during a daylong performance demonstration that included luminaries from the Ford Drag Team and Tasca Ford.

Other than the blend of Super Cobra Jets and Clevelands. and automatics and four-speeds. Mustang Twister Specials were identically equipped. Every one was a Mach 1 with power front disc brakes. a Traction-Lok dif. raised-white-letter F70-14s. and Magnum 500 Wheels or pedestrian hubcaps/trim rings. The Twister graphics were applied by a Ford subcontractor once the cars arrived in Kansas City.

These head-turning Mach 1s remain among the rarest Mustangs. This fully refurbished original Mach 1 is built to replicate the original Twister. with Twister side stripes and logo on the rear quarter. front and rear spoilers. rear window louvers. nbsp;hood pins. sports mirrors. Magnum 500 wheels. black comfort weave interior. span >  and automatic transmission.  The restoration was completed in 2003 and the car has been pampered since. showing in wonderful driver - local show quality condition throughout.

The following will be a description of each area of the car. being as in-depth and accurate as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a classic car that is over 44 years old. and although I will describe everything as best I can. some small items may have been overlooked.
