Bob Tasca Snr - RIP

A man who was instrumental in the legend that is the Mustang. A man I didn't know enough about, but I now intend to remedy that.

My thoughts are with his family and friends

Wow I meet Jayne Tasca during the drags in Pomana and at the 2010 Mustang reveal, great lady sorry to hear this news.

My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Really sad to hear. My sympathy to the family. The Tasca's are legendary in drag racing and business.

Rest In Peace...

Bob Tasca built what may argueably be the coolest Mustang of all time- the superboss429...I'm sure he achieved far more in his long lifetime, but the only reason I knew his name was from this car- magnesium 494 CID Can-Am motor in a Boss429 body.

thanks for posting that interview link...thoughts and prayers to his family, he wanted 200 year dealership business, he saw the first third of that thru...pretty impressive

My family, including myself has done a lot of business with the Tasca's. They are a world class organization. Bob Sr. will be missed. He was a true American and a true "car guy".
