5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Overview of American Muscle Cars, July 11, 2001
By matthew macdougal "mattmacd" (Ithaca, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This book is perefect if you're looking for great color photos and interesting facts about all makes and models of american muscle cars. It covers Chevy, Ford, Mercury, Dodge, Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, and AMC. Covers everything from the early sixties up till the early seventies. There's even a little info on later muscle like the Buick Grand Nationals of the 80's. The one thing this book lacks is technical data. It won't help you with restoration info, but it's perfect for armchair musclecar enthusiasts.
