3.0 out of 5 stars A hit and miss review of Mopar musclecars., June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chrysler Muscle Cars (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)

I bought this book, hoping it would be the definitive Chrysler musclecar authority. Based on the number of pages in the book, it seemed a sure bet. I was disappointed. It did not cover the late '60s Barracudas as well as othe Mopar musclecars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for scale model builders, December 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Chrysler Muscle Cars (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)

There are plenty of good reference pictures in this book for the scale auto enthusiast. The text gives a good history of Chrysler muscle, but the pictures are the tops - engine shots, good body shots, close-ups of unique features. Highly recommended for auto model builders.

This review is from: Chrysler Muscle Cars (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)

Of all the Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth muscle cars of the late 60's and early 70's, which is the ONLY one that has been put back into production? Right, the early 70's Challenger...the Vanishing Point icon. In fact, today's Challenger is intentionally based on the 70's design...looks very similar except less angular and more rounded here and there. So, you would think this book would devote some real space as well as pictures of these 1970's Challengers, say the R/T and more. Forget about it!
The author is devoted to the shaker hood, so the only 2 pics of the Challeger are not a Challenger with the 2 air scoop hood, as is also the hood design of today's Challeger only these butterflies can be opened for a ram-air effect...NO, all we see in this book is a Challenger with the shaker hood. Call me former owner of a 1971 Challenger...and greatly disappointed in this book.
