A race team special ordered 96 cars and then folded and then repurposed and sold as Twister Specials. The are somewhat a unicorn. This example is unrestored and powered by the ultimate 428 engine option SCJ.

Looks like it had pretty favorable storage conditions for 41 years.

Does anyone know any more of the story of the race series the original order-er was going to do? That sounds like a very interesting tale.

I remember my neighbor worked on one of these about 20 years ago. He knew all about them. They were apparently ordered same color and as pace cars by American Racing .
( I don’t think it is the same wheel company). I remember asking at the time. They went bankrupt and Ford turned them into twitters to sell at dealers in the midwest along tornado Alley. Not sure 100% on the story but my neighbor is very knowledgable on Mustangs.
