| 1973 Mercury Montego GT - 23 Year OwnedBuy it now price includes FREE SHIPPINGUp for sale is my life-long project car. Well sorted, high performing, and extremely rare. One of 302 to come from the factory with a 429, and one of only 12 known to exist today. The engine block and transmission are numbers matching original to the chassis.This car was built primarily for open road racing, 1/2 mile, and standing mile competitions, but runs on pump gas, and is street legal. I have driven it to and from many events, up to 6 hours away, without issue. Safety modifications are based on the Silver State Classic's rule book for the Grand Sport Division, which allows competitors to run up to a top speed of 165 mph. All modifications have been done within the framework of "factory configuration". It has competed in the Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack, the Colorado Mile, the PIT Rally in Colorado, the Sandhills Open Road Challenge, and was featured in Optima's Search for the Ultimate Street Car on MavTV. To date, the top speed achieved is 152 mph at the Colorado Mile. With the exception of the paint work, this car is 100% owner built, and the owner has professional experience as both a fabricator, and engine builder.Chassis:BodyEngineTransmissionRear EndMiscVideos of the car in action:Sandhills Open Road ChallengePIT RallyColorado MilePikes Peak Airstrip AttackIf you are interested in this car, it is strongly advised you make arrangements to inspect it in person, or have an appraiser local to our area (Colorado Springs, CO) inspect it for you.
