This is a real 1970 Torino Twister Special,  there were 90 Twister Troinos made for the Kansas City sales district in 1970 this is 1 of only 8 registered and known to exists with 429CJ/Auto. I do not have the Marti report you can get one, I do offer a 100% money back guarantee that it is a 429CJ/Auto Twister Special. It is registered in the Twister registry I have bunches of paperwork and documentation with it including past owners names and contact info, I am the third. For the guys who can read a serial number you will see it is good......... OA38J133440 


I bought this almost 30 years ago and tore it down to restore about 25 years ago. I have acquired many NOS and used parts for the restoration, this was a running car when I took it apart transmission was rebuilt right before I bought it so I have done nothing to it, engine was just recently rebuilt using all original FORD parts by a local FORD guru. The car has been in dry Colorado for the past 30 years so no new rust has grown but as you can see the body has many areas that need work. I have several factory NOS body sections like the tail light section and battery tray area sheet metal. New patch panels are available through several dealers. I also have some spare body parts like another hood and maybe fenders.

I am not an automatic guy but the reason I bought it was because it was changed from a column shift to a floor shift and would be easier to make it a 4 speed car so I was going to convert it to a 4 speed and have some parts for that also. The interior is complete and nice, bucket seats console, door cards are nice, dash had gauges added so I bought a hole new dash.

Engine has been rebuilt but not detailed and finished and comes with the new rolling stand it is mounted to, all extra parts for the car that I have acquired are either correct for the car an/or date coded for the car. I kept all empty part boxes and old parts. It comes with 2 complete Shaker setups, two correct dated coded carbs. 2 dashes. I even found an original correct exhaust heat shield that covers the manifold. Again this was a complete running Torino when I took it apart so everything is here plus much more that I have bought for the restoration over the years.

I know what it is worth, how expensive it is to restore, the huge risk the next guy is taking and how it is worth nothing right now and you'll be doing me a big favor by just taking it off my hands so please save the comments, if you are serious about buying and see there is still at least $25-30K profit after restoration call me....... Van @ 970.472.9670 with questions.

I didn't put too many pictures up and I know they aren't he best quality but you get the idea of what this is,  I do have more or can take specific ones if you wish.

Absolutely...............NO F...ING BROKERS.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.

Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation

Sat, May 2 2015

Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."
