    the rear would be too wide to directly bolt in. you may find misc. little stuff that will work. but for the majority,no, not much will interchange.

    The front disc brakes might swap.
    You would need to find out if they fit 69-73 Stangs.
    If so, they will fit a Maverick.

    I have a 70 Montego,, 70 cyclone spoiler,, not much is a direct swap. Rear is a 9" but would have to be cut down as the montego is quite a bit wider than a mav. I dont believe the front disc brakes will swap, but have never compared. But I did redo the brakes on my Spoiler and not much looked familiar to mavs. If that 70 montego has a decent rear bumper let me know.

    Yeah.
    I didn't know about the brakes for sure.
    I have heard some say that 70-71 Torino spindles fit Stangs.
    I haven't confirmed, or heard it from a 'trusted' source.
    That is why I said to check.
    If the 70-71 Torino spindles do actually fit the 69-73 Stang,
    then the Montego would fit a Mav by extention.

    I have 69 Torino/Montego brakes for my Sprint, and my uncle has 68 Montego brakes on his 70 Mav.
    However, I know 70-71 Torino/Montego went through alot of changes...

    From what I remember the 70-71 stuff is certainly different than prior, or even 72 cars and up. But what all fits all seems to be up in the air. Does not hurt to try and find out what exactly fits what. Problem is, I dont think anyone really knows, which includes me for sure. If we think our cars are hard to come across, then just think how many 70-71 Torino/Cyclones you ever see. None around these parts and I mean NONE.
