Pony Cobra Jet Auto Rare Award Documents Restored Classic Vintage Collector Orig

Description

Yes, you're looking at a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that's a real-deal Twister Special. It's one of the rarest special edition first-gen Mustangs around - and this even has the big 428 CJ under the hood! So to find it well-documented and meticulously restored means you're looking at a rare opportunity to join pony car royalty. When you want rarity, performance, and envy all packed into a speedy classic, this is it. You're looking at one of only 96 original Twister Special edition Mustangs, and one of only 48 that received the correct 428ci Cobra Jet motor. This kind of uniqueness is why they invested heavily to get this one looking and feeling like it's 1970 all over again. The car was given a multi-year complete rotisserie restoration so that the sheetmetal would be supper straight before the first drop of bold Grabber Orange was re-applied. And the brightwork is just as straight and shiny. The result is a fastback that loves to show off its curves as the light dances across the body. It's an award-worthy restoration, and this one even has the prizes to prove it! It's a true Mach 1, which means plenty of aggressively high-contrast dark details, including the chin spoiler, rocker panels, rear window louvers, and rear spoiler. Plus, the black Mach 1 stripe package does a great job of adding aggression with its well-integrated callouts and framing the shaker hood. But what will really make people flock to this one from across the show field are the special side stripes and rear fender logo exclusive to the Twister Special. Muscle car people know how special this unique package is. With less than 750 miles on this coupe since its full restoration, even the interior still feels like a fresh time capsule. While the Twister Special was built to be more of a performer than a coddler, the premium Mach 1 interior offers some nice extra luxuries like the center console and plenty of wood-like trim. And just like the exterior, they took the time to get the details right. So the high-back bucket seat feels plush, the trunk has the correct space-saver kit, and even the AM radio is still cranking out tunes! This pony was born with the ultra-desirable R-code 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet motor. The detailed photo book will show you this car need a new heart when it was being resorted. So a date-correct block was sourced, it was completely rebuilt, and then re-stamped to coordinate with the VIN. That kind of detail work meant they took their time to get everything else looking amazing, too. Glossy paint, correct decals, and even factory-style markings remind you the engine bay can win awards all on its own. And its clean and correct attitude continues as you look at the undercarriage photos. This kind of fresh nut-and-bolt restoration not only looks fantastic, but it's also exactly the kind of solid construction you want on a high-performance machine like this. After all, the Cobra Jet makes terrific power (especially with the Ram Air shaker and large four-barrel carburetor.) And this connects with a strong C6 three-speed automatic transmission feeding the upgraded suspension that includes a Drag Pack with a 3.91 limited-slip rear end. Power steering, front disc brakes, and even Goodyear Polyglas were all part of this when original, so you all still see it here today. A car this special needs the right paperwork. So the sale comes with a copy of the buildsheet, reproduction window sticker, and a restoration photo book. Rarely do you get a chance at a 428 Twister Special, this level of quality might just be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So if you demand the best, call today!
