Runs, drives, and stops. Paint is smoked with surface rust up high, but no rot anywhere in the car. Documentation indicates this has been in AZ since the mid-1980’s. I bought it nine years ago, let it sit, then got it running a driving again just now. The guy I got it from claimed it had sat for over twenty years before he got it running, so it has basically been off the streets for the past 30 years. Appears to be the original 302 – 2bbl with AC. Runs pretty good. Starts right up with no smoke and no soot in the exhaust pipe. Has a dent in the tailgate and one towards the front of passenger front fender. Also has some small dents at the bottom of both front fenders and right rear quarter, but doesn't appear to have ever been hit. All the glass is good. Front bumper is excellent with good chrome. Back bumper has some dents in it (common to the 72 - 79 Ranchero). No pitting in the bright work. Interior is rough, but has a new dash pad overlay. Restored Magnum 500 wheels (with old tires that have never been on the road or outside until now). Back seat is good but front seat needs re-done. Headliner is gone but the rods are there. Mustang Mart has replacements for both. Clear AZ title. $6500 as pictured, or less with the stock white walls and hub caps.

Well, the story I heard was that the last person to drive it got it up past 100 on the boulevard, and in his attempt to stop for a sudden red light, hit the brakes and snapped the lever clean off........
That Montego is probably a 1974 it has full front bumper and locomotive bumpers all the way round. The ‘75-‘76 Montego’s had a slotted intake slots on the front bumpers. Also like that panther Grand Marquis behind the Montego.
