MOTOR MONDAY 🔥 — HUGE THROWBACK

Digging way back in the archives for this one.

Under the hood of this 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 sits a 347 stroker V8, built to match the attitude of the rest of the car.

This was one of those builds that had everything going for it — custom GT-E-inspired styling, a killer stance, and plenty of power under the hood.

A serious throwback for Motor Monday, and still one hell of a Cougar.

347 stroker. 1968 XR-7. Built right.

Let Kurt show you around “Bully.” 👀

Our custom ’67 F100 might look clean and simple from the outside, but there’s a whole lot hiding underneath.

428 Cobra Jet Shelby clone, TKX 5-speed Tremec, Roadster Shop Spec Series chassis and a long list of killer parts that brought this truck together. 🔥

You guys saw it at Triple Crown of Rodding — now let Kurt give you a closer look.
