I have been contacted by CodeMasters. In case people don't know, CodeMasters makes some of the best racing games period for PC. Race Driver GRiD is one of the best racing games Ive ever played. IMHO
Here is the email. Obviously you need a Twister Special. I don't know if this is 100% legit, but I'm figuring there are so few Twisters it is possible that someone like this would approach Mach1Club.com (http://Mach1Club.com) for something like this. This just seems to specific to be a scam, and I'm very familiar with their games.

My name is April Huang and I work for Codemasters Software Ltd in the United Kingdom. We are a computer games company that has developed several popular car racing games, such as Dirt, Dirt 2, F1 2010 and soon Dirt 3 and F1 2011. Our racing studio is currently developing a new racing game to follow the success of our former racing title Race Driver GRiD. In our new game we thought our audience of gamers would love to experience driving certain selected vehicles and a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Twister Special is definitely the one we would like to include in our game. In order to achieve the high quality we want, we will need some detailed photography for our artists to recreate it authentically in our game. I am wondering if you know anyone who might be interested in giving us an opportunity to photograph the car in details, if so can you please pass my contact details to them? Thank you.
I called Codemasters in California, which actually just switches you to the UK, it was SIX hours later there, and validated that this lady April does work for CodeMasters and she is also in charge of merchandising! I was transferred to her voicemail so hopefully she will call me soon, Ill update when I talk to her.
So if you got a Twister Special your value just went up, since now not only do you have a rare car to begin with but now could also be shown as the actual car used in a CodeMaster game, that's pretty big time! CodeMasters is like Electronic Arts, for gamers, these are the echelon companies of the gaming industry.
I have recieved 3 calls from this April lady and she seems to call me at 5 am so I havent talked to her directly, but she seems 100% legit. I wish I had a Twister!
Anyway, I met a guy at the Berge Show that has a twister special anyone know how to contact this guy? He gave me his info and I lost it!
