Bill Roell picture of the Red Gapp and Roush Maverick

ByBillRoellWeb

I really like this car. It’s the last Boss 429 ride. The red paint job with the striping looks great. It’s got a clean look to it and though you can’t see it in this picture it has an amazing paint job on the trunk lid. To see that go here and scroll down to the Red Maverick.

A couple of notes about this picture:

  1. The caption states that Gapp & Roush were sponsored by Ford at this time. That is not the case and as a matter of fact they were NEVER sponsored by Ford. Ford got out racing and that…was that.
  2. If the first point is true, why the big ‘FORD’ log on the side? I asked about that. They were trying to get Ford to sponsor them. Never happened.
