Thread: My Twister II

  1. #1

    Default My Twister II

    This is my 85 Twister II, my best friends dad bought it brand new and i have been around it since i was a kid and was finally able to buy it this weekend. Its a 5-speed t-top car and im waiting on some more of the paperwork but i believe it is also a 3.08 optioned car. It only has 11k original miles

    I will get better pics one i clean it up good, it has been sitting a long time

    Congrats. Looks like a nice ride. Looking forward to seeing some of the paperwork. There were thirteen made with 3.08. All thirteen were Bright Red and all thirteen had a 4V carb and T-5 five-speed. Ten were originally ordered by one dealer (five with T-roof, five with solid roof).

    That is beautiful, i couldnt be more jealous of you right now. It sounds like you have paid your dues waiting for the car, so congrats on finally getting her. One of the rarest foxes out there and in beautiful, low mileage condition, with a ttop to boot. Well played sir.
    Cheers!

    If the motor can be made to look like a stock motor again, I think it is no big deal.

    Definitely want to see more pictures even if you haven't cleaned the car up yet!

    Then we can see the before and after "revival"

    Good to see another Twister, and another owner from Kansas City. What area of K.C. are you in?

    I think it's a cool car. When he was asking $13K, I thought it was too high. He ended up coming down to a more reasonable figure though. I'm sure you did alright. A lot of people only want original cars. Don't let anyones comments bother you. There are cars for everyone.
    I am just north of you. I am just north of 152 highway/N. Oak. Maybe I will see you at some car shows. Enjoy the car!

    HA! I thought something looked familiar in that picture! I am in there about 3 times a week. Welcome aboard neighbor! I should see you out and about sometime then. Let me know if you are attending any neighborhood car shows, I'd love to see your car in person.

    Congratulations! Looks great! How about adding a photo album and tell us the story about this car and what makes it a Twister?

    thats unfortunate, i hope you can return it to its glorious stock condition. A rare limited edition car deserves it.
