1973 Mercury Montego - Lithia Springs, GAStreetside ClassicsLithia Springs, GA 30122Ph: 8773671835Web: www. It's a mostly original car, and the bright red paint shows a few minor touch-ups here and there, but is otherwise almost entirely 1973 FoMoCo enamel. The black wheels give it a hardcore NASCAR look, but for the most part, it's bright, shiny, and very well maintained. It has lived all its life in warm, dry Georgia, so no worries about those irreplaceable sheetmetal parts rotting from within, and the detailing on this car makes it an awesome blend of Mercury's luxury and performance personalities. A single black pinstripe highlights the rather dramatic shape of the fender line, but otherwise it has no need of stripes or spoilers. The chrome bumpers look great and we particularly like the well-integrated look of the trunk line and rear bumper. The black interior is another awesome indicator of Mercury's mission to deliver performance with some style. Plush black vinyl bucket seats flank a center console, but the seating position is upright with great views. A full array of gauges fills the dashboard, each in its own round pod, and it includes a tachometer, which is probably a rather rare find in a Merc. It also includes a fairly large trunk with what appears to be its original mat and a full-sized spare tire. Sometime in the late 1970s, the original 351 Cleveland engine gave up the ghost, so it was replaced with a more user-friendly 351 Windsor. They were both on the options list and it remains very stock-looking, with a correct air cleaner, valve covers, and a 4-barrel carburetor that makes decent power. Ford blue adds a little contrast to the all-business engine bay and as far as we can tell, there are no significant aftermarket additions, making this a very unusual find.
