1971 Twister

The fender tag would tell the tale. If it's V5X it had that trim that goes down the side of the car to deter dings. If it's V8X it has the longitude decal stripe. I don't believe you could order both together, I certainly have not seen one with both. Nice car btw. It should have the rallye wheels without the trim rings if it is a true "Twister"

My 73 340 dart sport is coded for both a stripe and the side molding. It was repainted at some time so I dont know if it ever had the stripe but the molding is still there. I wonder if the molding option deleted the stripe. It would sure look stupid with both.

Around 1992 I found a 71 twister that was wrecked. It was the strangest optioned car I had ever seen. Orange paint, orange seats, orange carpet and orange door panels. I think the sunvisors were even orange. It was a slant six car and had a sharks tooth grill. Sadly the grill was busted from the accident. That grill was my unicorn. I searched for many years and was never able to find one.
I wish I had pictures of this car. Twisters are not rare but that one had to be 1 of a few or 1 of 1.
