Roush Idenitification

  • The Roush wing was stamped on the underside with an insignia that identifies it as a true Roush part (pictured below). The wing was copied and used on some later special-edition Cougars (the 2002 XR and 35th Anniversary editions) without the Roush insignia.
  • Each true Roush edition is identified by an ID tag located in the passenger’s side door jamb. It bears the specific serial number of the vehicle, and confirms that it is one of the original Roush-built Cougars, and not a clone. The serial number can be cross-referenced on Roush’s website for verification.
  • Clones are common, as Roush Industries made all of the parts available separately for retail sale. Most have become very scarce in the ensuing years.
