a rare, original 1978 iron-on t-shirt transfer celebrating drag racing legend Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen. Distributed by Porter’s (Roach), this high-action graphic features McEwen’s iconic portrait alongside his famous Corvette Funny Car. The design includes the fierce Mongoose mascot wearing a "Fly Navy" sailor hat—a nod to his Navy sponsorship. The artwork is finished in a vibrant, sunset-gradient "The Mongoose" logo at the bottom.
