This 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 boasts a rare Twister Special
package, making it one of only nine ever produced in this
configuration. With a 351 ci Cleveland engine and a 4 speed manual
transmission, it stands as the sole surviving 351 4 speed among the
96 Twister Specials manufactured, and one of just 14 to maintain
its original numbers matching engine and transmission. Adorned in
Grabber Orange over black, the car is equipped with a host of
features, including the instrumentation group, Traction Lok
differential, front and rear spoilers, rear window slats, fold down
rear seat, power steering, and 14" wheels with Goodyear Polyglass
tires. Originally shipped to C&F Motors in Oswego, KS, it was
acquired by the second owner in 1980 and has been a constant
presence for the past 42 years, showcased in numerous car shows.
Notably featured in publications like Mustang Monthly as the only
known 351C 4 speed of its kind, it was also utilized by Terry
Fritts (Mr. Twister) for documenting Twister Specials' originality.
The car underwent a minor restoration in 1980 and a more extensive
one in 2011. Kept as a cherished showcase at the owner's home until
early 2023, it has been periodically started and driven. The
comprehensive documentation includes the original build sheet,
window sticker, owner's manual, Elite Marti Report, Kansas license
plate, photos from Kansas City International Raceway, restoration
photos, original magazines, and correspondence between Terry Fritts
and the owner.
