I, too, have never seen a John Goss Special printed sales brochure ... interestingly, Gossy once told me that the car was originally slated to be an Allan Moffat Special, but somebody at Ford had a change of mind, possibly because Moff had not only a disastrous Bathurst in 1974 but also a lacklustre ATCC in 1975 ... by comparison, Gossy had won Bathurst in 1974 and diverted his attentions to open-wheeler racing in 1975. Interesting too that the car has no identifying logo that directly references John Goss ... the XA Falcon hardtop Superbird has a bird logo on its rear flanks and on the glovebox facia, and the later XC Falcon sedan Allan Moffat Special featured Moff's signature on the front doors. And there brings up another item : have you ever seen an Allan Moffat Special sales brochure ?
