I wish THIS book had been in my Elementary school library
Found this on eBay.
The inside cover is stamped with a label for a Elementary school Library.
This is the cover
Here’s one of the interior pages. Looks like the Winternationals?
Page 28. That Pinto looks good.
Page 30. Red Maverick….
The 1974 Maverick in the Shop…
This is how I picture my Dad. Makin’ sure that things are going just the way he wants. He’s the guy on the left. Great shot of the Maverick at the 32081 Schoolcraft shop.
Gapp and Roush – 1973 Pinto
The 1972 Gapp & Roush development car
From the files: The 1972 Pinto which was used to test the Pro Stock small block theory.
This is the only picture that I have seen of this car in the Gapp & Roush paint.
United States Racing Team
From the inside of the 1973 United States Racing Team program.
Rodder and Super Stock – September 73
Thought I would change it up a bit. This is the cover of the September 1973 issue of Rodder and Super Stock. In it there is a article about the work that Gapp & Roush have done with their 351’s to get them to run.
It’s a fun cover in general. At some point I’ll post the article as well.
Another G & R blast from the island of Puerto Rico
Here’s another shot from the folks over at Detroit Horsepower.
The mention is that this is the old G & R Pinto. I know that the first Pinto became Glidden’s warhorse. I don’t know what happened to the ’73 Pinto. I know that a trip was made to Brazil and I THINK I remember that a car was sold in Puerto Rico. So, this could be the old ’73.
Motivation for 74 4-door Maverick…
Nice clean shot of the front end of the Maverick showing the engine and the ‘famous’ exhaust plates.
The Gapp & Roush Mustang II in Puerto Rico?
I haven’t made much of an effort to try and track down the old G&R vehicles. I run across mentions of them every now and then. Here’s another.
I ran across the picture below on a web site called ‘Detroit Horsepower’. Link here.
This vehicle sure looks like the Gapp & Roush Mustang II. Down to the paint job. Kind of cool. From what the person who posted the pic says the vehicle is “The mustang that found itself in pile of metal in the Carribean.” That’s interesting as I have seen reference to this vehicle being ‘restored’ as well.
Note the Gapp & Roush blue decal in front of the ‘Forteza’.
