    That's a 1970 or '71 model.

    One photo. Don't put yourself out or anything.

    It's a '71. Here's from the '71 Mercury brochure. The grilles match.

    Here's the '70. The grilles was all horizontal bars.

    Here's the '72. Totally different front end.

    Jaunty, you have been much more energetic than seller in providing info.

    When you click the link, the C/L ad header now says '70.

    He might be one of us and is keeping tight lipped about it. It'll be fun to do a little cyber detective work, in finding out

    I'd take the 72 in please. Nicer nose to me. I wonder if the front ends are exchangeable?

    There's no reason as to why they shouldn't be. That would look great on a Torino, also
