I bought a 73 Montego MX a month ago and just got it a couple weeks ago.
Great driver right now (92k miles). Put a couple hundred miles on it so far.
I'm not going to do a frame off like I did the 66 Chevy.
Got a new rear bumper and some other smaller parts. Put a dual exhaust on it.
Interior is pretty clean. Wheels and tires are perfect, so going to keep these on it. Rides like a dream.
Just going to remove most of the chrome (for paint), strip, bodywork and repaint. Should be done in about 2 months.
