    Anyone seen this orange "Twister special" grabber Maverick before? I don't even like orange whatsoever but I've never had a reason to overlook it until now. I can forgive this car for being orange. :biglaugh:

    Its not my cup of tea but it looks to me that the things he did, he did very well. Personally, if it floats your boat, I think the price is very reasonable.

    I looked really hard at all the pictures and can't see where it's over done. It looks perfect to me. I bet it sounds mean, runs hard and drives sweet. I like the stance, tires, engine, contrasting carpets and matching interior, rollcage, traction bars, rims, tail lights, grabber hood, stripes, hood pins...needs side pipes and a deck spoiler and it would be as perfect as possible without being a Comet.

    Maybe T/A side scoops...:drive::drive::drive::drive::drive:

    In case you have never seen one, this guy is doing a Maverick take on a "Twister Special" 70 Mach 1. It was a dealer option in the Midwest (Kansas?) ... pretty rare car. Stripes are similar, but they did not come from the dealer jacked up and with a bug catcher sticking through the hood.

    Basically, the Twister Mustangs didn't look as good as a regular Mach 1 IMO. :rolleyes:

    Only thing I don't like about it is the tunnel ram rather than a blower through the hood.

    Very well done, in my opinion, and price is almost what I have invested in my POS...
