1972 Mercury Montego Sportshauler concept car.  If my sources are correct, it is an Amphicat 6x6 in the cargo area.

They made a similar concept car with the same name and idea, in 1970.

1970-1972 Mercury Montego Sportshauler.  Built on a Ford Ranchero.

Repost?

It is possible that NEH 4652 is the 1971 model, and the previous puzzle was from 1972.  It is also possible the only difference between the two is paint and wheels.

My puzzle is the original 1971 version, but it's the same car which they repainted for 1972...
Sorry, I didn't realise that, and the reason it didn't show up when I searched was that it was called the 'Sporthauler' in the earlier thread, whilst its actual name should be 'Sportshauler'.

So it's one point for you and they are merged (I'll edit the earlier title too).

Here's the unmodified picture of my puzzle car:

To double-check, I searched for "montego", and it found the "Sporthauler" puzzle.

I didn't realize it when I saw your puzzle, but I also solved this vehicle 4 years ago (plus 2 days).

That's what I should have done!
I don't remember much 4 years on either....
