Some REAL American Muscle cars, The Roush Mustang !!

The year, 1942. The world is at war. The economy is horrible. Peoples dreams are falling apart... just kidding. This isn't about the war. But this story does start in 1942.

April 19, 1942 to be exact. Why is this important? This is the day that JACK ROUSH was born. And in a way, the birth of the Roush Mustang. Jack Roush is Founder, CEO, and a co-owner in the automotive industry. But this page is about his cars, not him. You can read about him on another page where I will go more into detail of his life.

There are many companies combined that create Roush Enterprises. Below you can see the time-line of important events of this fascinating company.

THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF ROUSH ENTERPRISES and the ROUSH MUSTANG.

April 19,1942 - Jack Roush is born

May 1969 - Jack Roush started purchasing his own equipment for desinging and building his own parts.

1970 - Partnered with Wayne Gapp. This was the beginning of his racing career in IHRA, AHRA, and NHRA drag racing. He also usually offered his parts for sale.

1976 - I WAS BORN!!! What a great year. I remember... oh, sorry. I did it again didn't I? Really, here's what happened in 1976, read on.

1976 - Jack Roush ended his partnership with Wayne Gapp. Thus brought us Roush Performance Engineering. He primarily built engines now for other race teams through the early 80's.

1984 - Roush becomes a LEGEND. After 14 years of racing championships and 8 years of Roush Performance Engineering. His name is a household item, so to speak.

1995 - The creation of Roush Performance Products. This company was created to offer great aftermarket performance parts, vehicles and engines to the public.

Current - Roush Enterprises is huge!!!

Roush Enterprises is the parent company of three other Roush Brands.

1. Roush Fenway Racing - with teams in NASCAR, BUSCH, and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

2. Roush Industries - OEM Engineering and Manufacturing.

3. Roush Performance Products - Aftermarket performance parts and engines.

So as you can see, there's alot of history with the Roush brand. There are nearly 2000 people employed by Roush Enterprises. ( What a dream job. I would love to work at the shop they build the cars. ) But, if a Roush Mustang isn't what you are looking for. Then check out the Roush F-150 or Roush Focus. Whatever your itch for speed is, Roush can supply it.

Here a few more facts I would like to mention, then on to the exciting stuff. The Roush Mustang Corral.

- Roush was the first specialy vehicle company to combine race proven technology with automotive engineering.

- Jack Roush personally approves every aspect of his product before production and product release.

- Roush racing has the most wins in FORD RACING team history.

- Roush is comitted to continually provide outstanding products for us.

- I had a chocolate lab ( yes a dog ) that I named Roush after Jack Roush. Ok I know this isn't a fact of Roush Industries. But it has relevance. Doesn't it? And I tell you what. People would look at the name, and say "roosh". I thought to myself, don't you know who ROUSH is? And then say, no, it's ROUSH. You know after Jack Roush? Still, to no avail. Obviously these weren't car people.
