In
1970, Mustang got a small scoop on the outside of the headlamps. The GT was
removed from the lineup and would not return until
1982.
Ford made 96 Twister Specials for
Kansas Ford dealers. They were Grabber Orange Mach 1s with special decals. Ford also made a few Sidewinders, which were
built in Dearborn, shipped to Omaha, and sold in Iowa and Nebraska. They
were available in Grabber Green, Grabber Blue, Calypso Corral, and Yellow.
The stripes came in the trunk and the dealers had the option of installing
them on the car. Visit
The
Pony Site for more info on Sidewinders.
Boss 429 sported a 429 cubic inch hemi-head V-8
that required suspension modifications so it would fit. Only 499 Boss 429s were
made in 1970. They were available in Grabber Blue, Grabber Green,
Grabber Orange, Calypso Coral, and Pastel Blue. Interiors were black or
white. For more information on Bosses, visit

The 789 remaining 1969 Shelbys in Ford inventory
after the model year were titled as 1970 models. These were modified to
include a front air dam and a blackout point treatment around the outboard
hood scoops.
Ford created two 1970 Boss 429 Lawmen Mustangs for tour to U.S. troops.
Only one of these 1200-horsepower beasts survives today, and it was sold to
wrestler Bill Goldberg in the 2003 Barrett-Jackson Auction.
