1.0 out of 5 stars Informative..Yes. Accurate..No., January 10, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
When one purchases a "Standard Guide", one would expect a thorough and accurate accounting of the subject. This book does not meet that minimum standard. The information provided as to model information is shoddy and poorly researched. Production numbers are inaccurate, photos are of poor quality and in some cases, identifying the wrong vehicle. One need not be a gearhead to identify or grasp the magnitude of the errors made in this reference guide. For example Steve McQueen DID NOT drive a Charger in "Bullitt". The lack of proofreading and research evident in this "Standard Guide" is an affront to educated automobile afficiandos everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Standard Guide to American Muscle Cars, July 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Standard Guide to American Muscle Cars 1949-1995: A Supercar Source Book, 1960-1995 (Paperback)
Overall a very informative book on muscle cars from the '60's to the '90's. It's an excellent start for us younger people to learn about the older muscle cars that we didn't get to see as we were growing up. This book covers most of the significant muscle cars that have come out of America from the years 1960-1995. If you are interested in buying a muscle car but aren't exactly sure what car you want to get, this book will help you narrow down your choices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Standard Guide to American Muscle Cars, December 31, 2001

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Pretty good book in that it covers a lot of muscle cars and a long time span. I like the way the book uses many original ads and it is fairly complete in its coverage. I would like to see better pictures and more proofreading. I noticed that some of the information about certain cars is incorrect or transposed. It also appears that some of the picture captions are not associated with the proper picture.
