Gapp & Roush 1975 Press Information cover
This is from ’75.
The bits inside include a biography of the two principals, discussion of the vehicles and a few photos.
Cool.
The First Pro Stock ride
Maverick’s. Here’s the first one. Blue. The second was red. This one was pretty much a standard car that was tubbed, etc. The second was purpose built.
The Red Maverick
Here’s another nice from the Web. This is the 2nd Pro Stock vehicle. The first was a blue Maverick. That’s my Dad in the blue shirt on the right.
I told my Dad that this is a pretty sharp looking BOSS 429 powered MAVERICK!!
Motor Wheel ad
I’ve got a huge poster from this advertising campaign.
Gapp vs. Jenkins
The Tijuana Taxi, owned and driven by Wayne Gapp. That’s Mr. Bill ‘Grumpy’ Jenkins in the other lane.
I titled this one “So you’re saying I have a chance?”.
Good Pic…Dad’s catching a few winks…
Hard day at the track!
One of the cleaner pics that I’ve seen.
427 Chargin’ Cyclone
From the cover of ‘American Rodding’. Article to come.
Hmmm….
What could this be?
How unfortunate it’s not the original Taxi. Be nice to see it on the track.
UPDATE (11-11-2009):
A member of the Maverick forums located here stated the following:

It’s funny to see the taxi in your pic, Jeff. The brown four door that was used in that project, built by Holzman Race Cars, was sitting for sale on my way to work in someone’s yard. I saw most of the build up at Holzman’s. It’s neat to see it in your photo.

Pretty cool.
If you’re into Maverick’s and Comet’s point your browser at the web site (http://mmb.maverick.to) and take a look at the place. Lots of good info.
