The car is actually on its third body and second engine, but it’s still close enough to the same car that Herzfeldt inherited back in 1986 to make it a cool, if slightly non-stock, survivor. Even if it hadn’t been lovingly re-created with new bodies twice in its past, the Montego would still be somewhat unique in that only 17,785 of the two-door versions were built for 1969, and the remaining examples seem to be few and far between these days.
