I’m not a huge fan of this car for a variety of reasons. I think the paint scheme sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the vehicles.

Nice shot of the 73 Pinto leaving the starting line. WG Driving. Roush in the background.
Another ad from back in the day.

I’ve got one of the original posters.

The pics include Bob Glidden, Gapp & Roush and Truman Fields.
Can’t remember where I found this but…this is from a manual/book called ‘How to Build a 351c Pro Stock Pinto”.
There are two Gapp & Roush Pintos here.
On the left hand side second from the top is the original Glidden Pinto that he purchased from Gapp & Roush. Still in the original paint except for the removal of the name.
At the bottom on the left-hand side is the new Gapp and Roush pinto, the ’73 model. Unpainted on the West Coast at the Winternationals.
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 30. Red Maverick….
This might be the last time a G & R car was on the cover of National Dragster.

Livonia, Michigan’s popular Pro Stock team of Wayne Gapp and Jack Roush will be right in the thick of the ’77 Pro Stock wars with their powerful Ford Pinto entry. Wayne Gapp turned over driving chores to veteran Ken Dondero, at the end of the ’76 campaign, and this new combination should prove to very successful beginning with the season-opening NHRA Winternationals with Dondero handling the driving chores and Gapp heading up the rest of the duties that it takes to campaign a competitive Pro entry.
