Found this image out on eBay not to long ago.
This car is just beautifully finished. The paint is impeccable. Love it.
Just behind the car are three men. On the left is Wayne Gapp, in the middle Al Buckmaster(?) and on the right Jack Roush.

Found this on eBay awhile back. Kind of a fun image from a race at night. I would like to think that this was on purpose…but I don’t think so.

The NHRA posted this as the photo of the week!
Pretty cool of them to do that.
Too bad they don’t have a picture from 1975 when WG won the event.
This is NHRA’s recap of the 1975 event here.
I can help with a picture.
FYI. If I were to nitpick the picture that NHRA selected is from 1976. See here for a list of cars and paint schemes by year.

One of my favorite racing related items…period. I have one of these that is badly beat up. One of my Mom’s friend had this one and gave it me.

This one comes from Daryl Huffman who did the restoration of the ‘Gate Job’ Comet.
Nice shot of the Gapp & Roush 4 door Maverick…

Must be early 1975?
Cool shot of the ‘Color Me Gone’ funny in the background as well.
I had to lighten the image up a little bit to bring out some the detail.

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:
- 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.
- 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.

Well. Not really. Here’s an old ad for the first Mav.
I’ll take 2.
