| When American Raceways International requested 1970 Mustang convertibles for use as pace cars and limited editions, Ford’s Special Promotions Division created unique side stripes and graphics for the project. But when AMI went bankrupt, Ford used them as a special regional promotion for Mach 1s and Torino Cobras. The Twister had serious performance upgrades. A drag pack suspension separated it from the largely cosmetic embellishments offered on other one-offs. |  |
