Bought a few negatives here and there and came across this shot.
The color in the image is great and the shot shows the details of the car.

Been some time since I’ve put up a shot of the 1973 Pinto.
That’s WG center left.
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 purposeā¦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.
Here’s a entry from the NHRA web site talking about the 1975 U.S. Nationals meet.
See it here.
The ‘awesome’ 4 door maverick strikes again.
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.
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.
Nice 3/4 shot of the 1973 Pinto @ Maple Grove in early 1974…very early.
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:
