Congratulations to Matt (XR7-4.6) and his 1994 Cougar, our January 2026 Car of the month.
This car is also featured on our 2026 club calendar available for purchase here.

He's had it since high school and it has been an ongoing project ever since. The vibe is day 2 70s style street machine if the fashion continued to the 90s. DOHC swap from a 2003 Mach 1, 98 Cobra intake cams and matching TR3650 5-speed backed by 4.30 trac-lok are there to match the looks and while it's not modern muscle fast it's old school muscle fast and that's what I like.
-Underneath the is a host of items; Tokico "blues", Vogtland 3/4" drop springs, airlift bags, a 1-1/8" Addco rear sway bar, poly bushings and Cobra brakes.
-Wheels are staggered height and width 17x9 front and 18x10 rear American Muscle black Bullitts with 255/50/17 and meaty 295/45/18 Nittos.
-Exterior is stock in appearance except for a Sport package wing and 91 XR7 fog lamps, interior started life as feature car grey/white but is now black using mostly a mix of factory parts, including from a 1993 Supercoupe, various other bits from 90-93s, and other various parts from the Lincoln Mark VIII
Happy New Year Everyone!
