Most tornadoes probably could not, but a high-end EF4 or EF5 most likely could. Tornadoes of that intensity have been known to lift up very heavy objects including parking bumpers, construction equipment, train cars, and even buildings. One EF5 tornado in Alabama picked up an anchored 800 lb safe and threw it 600 feet. When the safe was found its door had been torn off.

What color are the tornadoes funnels?
The funnel of a tornado can appear white, black, or gray depending on lighting conditions. Usually it is the same color of the clouds it extends from. Additionally, dirt and debris picked up by the tornado may turn it black, brown, gray, tan or red.
Where can you find the center of a tornado?
Since a tornado is columnar in nature its center is best defined as the tornado's axis of rotation, which also corresponds with the lowest pressure. The actual height of the midpoint varies with how high up the tornado extends, with stronger tornadoes usually extending further up into the parent storm.
What made the tornado funnel appear pink to?
A tornado may appear pink if it is lit up by the setting or rising sun. Note that you are far more likely to see a tornado at sunset than at sunrise.

Is it really impossible for a vortex or tornado to pick up an inverted cone and can someone point out examples?
It would be entirely possible for a tornado to pick up such an object. One misconception about tornadoes is that their winds only travel vertically. The truth is that their rotation gives the very strong horizontal velocity as well, so even if the updraft alone could not pick up a cone, the horizontal winds could tip it over and allow the tornado to pick it up that way.
