After 26 years of drooling over this car, my wife finally bought me a cherry original Montego blue FD for my 40th. I cannot wait to dive into these forums and make that beauty my own

 

She looks great in your garage! I might be biased as another Montego Blue owner, but it's grown into my favorite color on these cars. What do you have planned for the car?

Your wife is a champ.

 

Welcome! I have to say that woman is a keeper right there buddy! Do you have any more pictures of the car to share and do you know any of the car's history?

 

Step one is to get the A/C working lol, then the muffler is blown, so full exhaust. the only down side is that it's an auto, so there will be a tranny swap eventually. I plan to keep it fairly stock other than that. I just wan't 300-400 horsies on a fun little weekend warrior that I will be buried in

 

Yeah, I'm still blown away that she did this for me, I don't know what I did to deserve her. I have a few more pictures, but here is the auction listing where she won it from.

I can't wait to start making it mine, and honestly after ghosting this board for years, I was kind of proud to finally register!

 

welcome to the forum. nice buy, too bad it's an auto.

 

It won't stay that way for too terribly long

 

thats sweet of your wife. shes a keeper!

 

As for history, it spent most of it's life being babied in New York City. It spent a year and a half within a few miles of my office oddly enough, including an oil change right down the street. Then a whopping 7 months in Tennessee, then it wound up in a dealership that specializes in vehicles for the handicap who finally sold it to my better half. I'm going to call around to the business on the Carfax and see if I can get the old service records.
