This is the best compilation of info on the Supercar dealers of the muscle car era. Very good on the dealer info, and, incredible photography.

This is A Awesome book, I am not crazy about the $35.00 MSRP. but I did get it for a little cheaper($29). It should had more pages(160).. but its a nice hardcover. It features Corvettes As Well..Because Despite different opinions they should be included. Other than in the beginning of the book a mention about castro becoming "premier"? in 59'(the correct term would be dictator) other than that the book is flawless. sadly, focuses on 11 tuners. but nonetheless, Legendary : Yenko, Baldwin-Motion, Berger,Etc.
The book represents all of Detroit (amc too). when cars were cars not wimpy PC Hybrids.When you can actually hear the engine,exhausts,etc.
Great Cover, and Great cars, Including Modern: Saleen S7,Modern last gen Camaro, etc. Featuring the Greats, Corvette,Nova,Chevelle,Camaro,Firebird Blackbird,so much. Great Book.
The best Muscle Car book In my belief Up unto now.

I think the focus on dealer-prepped cars is good and a subject that was long overdue, but there are some mistakes that detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. I was surprised to learn that 1968 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustangs were available only as fastbacks, for example.

I also felt there was too much emphasis on the newer incarnations of these cars. While seeing Berger's late-model Camaro creations is nice, they offered too many pages on this stuff.

I thought they did a good job with this book. Lots of good pictures. I don't remember seeing another book that just covers the specialty dealers. They even have a few ads from the magazines from back then. I put 4 star because of price. Maybe it is still high because it is a newer book?

We bought this book because a friend of ours painted some of the Nickey Chevrolet Chicagoland Muscle Cars. The book is very nice and picture quality is wonderful. A must for any muscle car maniac.
