1970 Montego | | The 1970 Montego went through a major design change. The protruding front
hood now had a "coffin" look about it and all the sheet metal was redesigned,
as well as the interior. The exterior shared the basic lines of the Torino
while the interior was almost exactly the same as the Torinos with minor
trim differences.
MONTEGO: The Comet was dropped and the Montego became the base mid-sized
car. Base engine was a 250ci, inline 6.
