ABOUT
::A
high-quality hardcover book five years in the making, this
publication brings to life the incredible story of the most
famous car in Australian motor racing history.
T
he Boss: The Inside Story of Allan Moffat and his Trans-Am
Mustang was produced with Allan’s cooperation, is
officially licenced by Allan Moffat Racing, and the Foreword
was written by Pauline Moffat.
Allan was interviewed extensively for the book, years before
his well-publicised dementia was diagnosed, providing a unique
and irreplaceable perspective on his favourite car and its
colourful history.
Moffat’s carers granted exclusive access to Allan’s extensive
collection of documents and photographs for the book, as did
Peter Lyall, who looks after the car for the Bowden family in
Queensland.
The Boss was written by award-winning motor sport journalist
and historian David Hassall. It consists of more than 110,000
words packed with rare detail and unique insights provided by
the people who were there.
Illustrating the 432 page are around 600 historic
black-and-white and colour photos, most of which have never
previously been published.
Photos include the car being built at Kar-Kraft in Detroit and
Bud Moore Engineering in South Carolina, arriving in
Australia, appearing for the first time at Sandown, and being
prepared (and repaired) at Moffat’s own workshop in Melbourne.
All the major players in the car’s extraordinary race career
provide first-hand accounts, most for the first time, bringing
a richness to the iconic car and driver’s brilliant and often
controversial story.
The large-format book uncovers the technical secrets that made
the Trans-Am Mustang the most advanced racing sedan of its
time, as revealed by engineer Lee Dykstra, who was responsible
for the Trans-Am Mustang’s design and construction at
Kar-Kraft.
More than two dozen people were interviewed exclusively for
the book, including Don Gibb, who organised the groundbreaking
Coca-Cola sponsorship, Coke executive David Maxwell, who did
the deal, and hard-working AMR mechanics Barry Nelson, Peter
Thorn, Ian Lees, John Myers, Lou Mallia and Ray Cutchie.
The Boss also includes chapters outlining Moffat’s
rise to fame in Australia and America, revealing in previously
unreported detail his early career, peppered with Allan’s own
candid recollections.
