Summary: Great Pictures
Review: This book has some really good pictures. The cars in this book are very rare muscle cars. Their are statistics showing of how much of each car were produced. Their is also some good information. Too bad they didn't have the 1969 Yenko Nova which is a very rare car.

Summary: Rare view of rare muscle cars
Review: This book offers great pictures and unique insights into the background of some of the most desireable muscle cars of the 60s and 70s.

Of particular interest are the backgrounds offered with the Baldwin Motion, Yenko, & Shelby cars.

Great book.

Summary: Fantastic photography of rare muscle cars
Review: This book was a gift from my uncle who liked muscle cars. It is an excellent book on cars from the Otis Chandler collection. The collection seems to be biased towards mopar, especially the famous 426 HEMI cars that have become especially collectible-due to flamboyant design-even by muscle era standards, and the rare Hemi engines. So that is the good and the bad-It is mainly covers Hemi mopar-especially ultra rare convertibles, and GM big block muscle. COPO, Yenkos and other relatively rare and unknown to the general public muscle cars. Very few Fords, but they can be found elsewhere. But the photography is excellent, and each car reflects a story about the muscle car era-insurance, OPEC, etc. while discussing the car. The Challenger T/A has an entertaining descriptive story that I liked the best. Camaros, Chevelles, and Corvettes are well covered. The book concludes with a 1971 Hemi'cuda convertible that is familiar to most tv viewers. This book may cause you to petition Chrysler to reopen the assembly lines and start making the 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda again!
