1971 Mercury Montego MX Fastback Fresh Big Block Merc with AC VIDEO

1971 Mercury Montego MX

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at our very cool 1971 Mercury Montego MX Hot Rod. This is one you only occasionally saw back in the day; A Fastback Big Block Merc. And when you did, it was usually going too fast to catch.

A sister to the Cyclone and the Torino, the Montego MX was the sleeper in the driveway with a big block under the hood, AC, power steering and power front disc brakes. The MX sported the top of the line interior as well.
