Cougar Community Ride of the Month

The winner from across the pond:

Jan Ove’s 1968 XR-7 Restomod

February is a brutally cold month in most of the northern hemisphere, but this car is sure to warm a few hearts. Can you feel the heat?

There is paint and then there is art. The paint on this car sets it apart. The closer you look the more you see.

Congratulations Jan! Beautiful car, but I liked it better with the other wheels. To me it took some of the beauty out of the beast. But what do I know, you won by a fairly big margin. It is a beautiful car.
