Vehicle Description
1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Twister Tribute
Why This Car Is Special
In late 1969 Ford offered up a special-edition Mustang to dealers
in the Kansas City area. These 1970 Mach 1-based cars Mustangs 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). 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 engines instead with
buyers having the option of selecting from either a manual or
automatic transmission.
To this day, Twister Specials continue to fetch high price
particularly well-restored models recently sold for $140,000 in a
Mecum auction in Kansas City.
We have a viable alternative here at Skyway Classics, a gorgeous
1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Twister Tribute with its 351 cubic inch 4V
V8 engine and 4-speed transmission that has been recently
restored.

compartment. The engine, intake, and valve covers that has been
painted in the correct Ford Racing Blue paint, chrome air cleaner
that has 351-4V Decals on top over the carb, power steering and
brakes, with the blue performance spark plug wires and updated
distributor providing the sparks, and exhaust routed out the
factory cast iron exhaust headers to the dual exhaust out the
rear.
It starts easily and makes great torque, a muscle car trademark,
and you'll find that the engine loves to rev and never seems to run
out of breath with the automatic transmission that makes for
performance cruising.
It rides on factory style chrome Magnum 500 wheels and fat BF
Goodrich T/A radials raised white letter tires.
Interior
The restored 1970 Mustang interior was both comfortable and sporty
from the factory, so it looks as it did back then with the black
high-back buckets and automatic shifter.
It also has matching rear seat, matching door panels with woodgrain
trim, Black carpets and floor mats, Ford's twin-cockpit design puts
a quartet of gauges ahead of the driver all wrapped in woodgrain, a
Passenger analog clock, wood steering wheel, accessory gauges
underneath, radio, and a panel that has been signed by Carroll
Shelby and Richard Petty underneath too.
Exterior
Our Mustang looks great in its Grabber Orange paint, and being a
one-year only design, has the fabulous look that includes the
fastback profile, add in the blacked-out hood scoop, hood pins,
black Mach 1 rocker panels, and black Ford Mach black striping
package and Twister Special decals on its flanks, this is a
terrific muscle machine.
Our Mach 1 wears the hood scoop, chin spoiler, rear window slats,
and black tail spoiler as well and emits a rumble from the V8. It
will surely earn praise and trophies at car shows as well.
