Each car is presented in 3-view format, with key engineering changes and styling features annotated.

A comprehensive specifications panel provides technical information. Lavishly illustrated with over 400 colour photographs, this book will appeal to anyone with a love of these souped-up, customized machines.

Hopelessly inaccurate,

This review is from: Hot Rods & Custom Cars (Hardcover)
Craig Cheetham needs a fact checker. He frequently writes opinion as fact which is contrary to actual sales figures, track times, factory specs. Sloppy journalism.
