The Mercury Montego developed parallel to the Ford Torino . Just as the Torino was introduced in 1968 as a higher-quality version of the Ford Fairlane , the Montego initially presented an exclusive version of the Fairlane Mercury Comet counterpart. At the beginning of the model year in 1970, the model designation Ford Fairlane and Mercury were renamed Comet, so that the Middle-class models now uniformly Ford Torino and Mercury Montego were called.
The Montego was in the years 1968 and 1969 as a coupe, sedan, convertible and station wagon in the equipment versions Basis and MX. The drive was a 3.3-liter six-cylinder or V8 engines with displacement of 4.9 to 7.0 litres. Derived from the Montego was the sporty version Cyclone . In 1969, the base engine was enlarged to 4.1 litres.

For the years of construction 1970 and 1971, the Montego received a redesigned body. This was still constructed self-supporting type. The Montego had unlike its Ford counterpart Torino a clearly prominent grille in the so-called Knudsen style and optional were covered concealed headlights. The Montego was still powered by large six- and eight-cylinder engines with capacities of 4.1 and 7.2 litres. From 1970, the model range divided into Montego, Montego MX and MX Brougham trim types was added.
