1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback

In late 1969 Ford offered up a special-edition Mustang, this time to dealers in the Kansas City area. These 1970 Mach 1-based cars were named "Twister Special." In all, only 96 of the Mustangs were ever produced. The 1970 Twister Special Mustang featured Grabber Orange exterior paint along with custom "Twister Special" graphics (installed at Ford's assembly plant in Kansas City). Ford debuted the Twisters at their "Total Performance Day" on November 7, 1969 at Kansas City International Raceway.

Originally all Twister Special Mustangs were to feature 428 Super Cobra Jet engines beneath their hoods. Unfortunately a shortage of these engines resulted in half of the cars receiving 351 Clevelands. Buyers had the option of selecting from either a manual or automatic transmission.

A total of 96 Mustang Twister Specials were produced and sold in Kansas-area dealerships for the 1970 model year. Based on the already powerful Mach 1, the Twister Special added a drag pack suspension and either a Super Cobra Jet Ram Air engine or the 351ci Cleveland V8. The cars were available only in Grabber Orange and featured a black hood stripe and tornado decal. Ford built 48 cars with the 428 Super Cobra Jet engine, 24 were automatics and 24 were 4-speeds.

Sold new at Ralph Sandefur Ford in Derby Kansas, this Twister has been subjected to a complete concours quality rotisserie restoration. With just over 57,000 original miles, this pony still retains its numbers matching 428 Super Cobra Jet engine, C-6transmission and 9" Traction lock rear differential. Documented by a Deluxe Marti Report, the Twister is also listed in the 428 Cobra Jet Registry.
