First time 72 Montego GT owner.

Hello I am a first time 72 Montego GT owner, I have owned a 72 GTS Sport F/B Q-code four speed. I also have two 71 Ranchero's both special value package cars or white sale as some have called them. Both are M-code Auto with Shaker hoods. Getting back to the Montego I found it in a junk yard a few months ago complete, it is a Q-code auto on the column. With a rare Ram Air system on it( couldn't believe it was still there. It sat in that yard for almost ten years.) it also has p/s, p/b, a/c, and and an R code 3.25 Traction lok.
It is is code 3H dark metallic blue with a black bench seat interior. It is still on a title from 1972 so technically I will be second owner. I have a Marti for it showing it to be one of 16 with paint and trim codes. And one of 846 with engine and trans. It is rusty in the quarters and a few spots in the floor but very minor. It still has all the original trim rings and hub caps, and a Good Year Polyglas GT G70-14 tire for a spare. It was last registered in 1992 with 86XXX miles now reads 87XXX miles so I believe with the condition of the engine and interior it is original miles.
Thanks in advance and I hope to learn more about my car and buy some much needed parts for it.

Welcome!  Great find.  Love me some Montegos.  Post up some pics when you get a chance.  Would love to see them.

welcome!

Welcome, and yes let's see some great pics.

Welcome to the forum. Some of us on here (me for one) really like the Montegos, show us some pics!

Welcome and please some post pics!  The 1972 MGT's are one of my favourites.

Thanks I tried putting it in there (the registry) but something kept it from being accepted.

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Yes very rare! I will post my Marti when my laptop is up and running.

Ok sounds good thanks!

DAVE thanks for getting the pics up!

I have seen his Marti report, no mention of being a Cyclone.

There are other ways that you can prove if it is an original cyclone or not. The cyclone option included all of the options listed below.The cyclone option package was kind of expensive in 1972, resulting in very few being ordered.
The package for the Q-code 351 4V (4 spd or C6) was $518.10 and for the N-code 429 (C6 Transmission only) was $616.60. That was a lot of money in 1972.
