I still love the '69 and ' 70 Mustangs. The 351C Twister Specials go for $80K. The 428SCJ versions go for $200K. There are only about 50 known samples left on Earth. This one off prototype? Maybe $300-350K?

It always intrigued me that there were actually two "Twisters" back then. The 1970 Mustang Mach 1 Twister Special, and the 1971 Plymouth/Dodge Duster/Demon Twister. Big difference, power plant wise. Ford gave you the 351-C or the 428 Super Cobra Jet (the original motor chosen for the package). Plymouth/Dodge gave you the slant 6 or the 318 V8 in the Duster Twister.

Yep, and both twister special Rancheros were proven to be SCJ cars. I know the guy that has the one known Ranchero. Kind of an odd fella, but knows his shit. Cool story how he found the ranchero too.
