Junkyard Find: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham

We're on a 1973 roll here in Junkyard Find land, with a '73 Luxury LeMans yesterday and a '73 Super Beetle the day before, so I'm going to keep it going with another car from the year everything went to hell. The Montego was the blinged-out, gingerbread-encrusted sibling of the Ford Torino during this era, so it made sense that Mercury would sell a Brougham edition.
As can be seen from this car's surroundings, I shot these photos at the Brain Melting Colorado Yard.
This car was locked, so I couldn't open the hood and take a look at the engine. This car could be purchased with a 92-horsepower 250 L6, a 137-horsepower 302 V8, and an assortment of 351C, 400M, and 429 V8s with distressingly low power ratings and OPEC-gratifying thirst.
Still, I think these things are cool. I'm sure Sajeev agrees.
