So along with the damaged pistons the two rods were bent?

Oh for sure on the prices of grille pieces! Is that the car Evan Smith has now?
I don't know who Evan Smith is, but if he has a car that looks like this, it is probably it--there isn't another like it. I sold it to someone up in Michigan, but I've heard it's down in Florida now.
The Montego already had the Cyclone dash and buckets installed when I purchased the car, but I converted it to a manual and added the console. Aside from a reproduction front spoiler, everything else was FoMoCo, including the Magnum 500 wheels. I had wanted to complete a Cyclone wagon, and had located a hood, but its condition was a little rough and I couldn't justify removing the original one as it was just so clean and original (except for the added FoMoCo hood scoop, from a Cougar I believe). Of course finishing out the Cyclone look was going to be stupid pricey--a nice grille and headlamp assy was going to be difficult, if not impossible, to locate.
...I do regret selling it.
