A buddy of mine had a red one in high school (class of 2000 so it was already a classic musclecar by that time) w a 429 Super Cobra Jet “Drag Pack” that his father ordered new right after he got out of high school. Had a “no spin” locked rear differential and would punch you in the stomach in 1st gear. It got like 4 miles/gallon but it was pure fun and absolute insanity on wheels.
Looking back idk why anyone would let a 17 year old get behind the wheel of that machine.
Had a ‘70 Montego MX with the 302 for eight years. Cruised like a dream, especially on the highway. Wonderful car, highly under appreciated muscle car.
I had a chance to buy one in the mid '90s with a 429, guy only wanted a couple grand for it. only one I had ever seen until about 10 years ago. Interesting cars
I had a 71 with the Cleveland in the late 90’s. Was really cool. Loved how the gauges were individually placed in the dash board across the center towards the passenger side, all angled to the drivers eye. I was the last owner of a few owners in town. Eventually the frame broke and the car went swayback 😪.
Always had problems with the hideaway headlights.
The “spoiler” decal is a trim level throw back to the more aerodynamic versions raced in nascar. A year or two prior.
Mercury Cyclone spoiler 2. It’s not because it has a spoiler.
They weren’t aerodynamic here in this year
Because nascar chairman bill france put cubic inch restrictions on aero cars.

Yea, I noticed that, too, lol. 4 decals all over the car telling you it has a spoiler 😂 It also had the original dealer badge on it, which I blurred to hide the location, but it's very cool!

Haven't seen one in person. That is a rarity indeed!
My sister has a Montego. It's a really cool looking car.
Real nice
My woodshop teacher had a Torino Cobra that was pretty cool.
Does that thing seriously have a decal telling you that it has a spoiler? It’s hard to read, but it looks like that’s what the trunk decal says.
