The Complete Book of American Muscle Supercars: Yenko, Shelby, Baldwin Motion, Grand Spaulding, and More

My car-mad son thinks this is a great book and has one of his favourite Shelbys in it ! So perfect pressie for Christmas.

excellent book

Unusual in that for me this is a book with 5 star content presented in a 2 star way. There's nothing in the title that suggests this is anything more than just another book on US Muscle. Even the cover is gimmicky and detracts. Its a real pity because the actual book is excellent in that it is so much more than suggested. Rather than just repeating the history of the big companies and what they did in the late 60's/early 70's, this has chapters on the individual smaller outfits and garage groups who produced what have become almost fabled cars now and in doing so is so much more interesting. Appreciating there is no shortage of output on Shelby its the material on the lesser known producers I found fascinating and new.

I have to be honest I have not gone past the Royal Pontiac section near the front. I am bias because my black 1968 Firebird graces two pages near the beginning. While the Jim Wangers Judge on the following pages I took care of for over 17 years while it was here in Detroit. The shadow in the Judge as it sits under the Woodward turn a round sign is me. Dave Newhardt takes some great pictures. I do like the cleaver cover with the hoods of both the Camaro and Shelby Mustang being able to peck under the hoods. Just have to be careful not to catch either hood when taking the book off the shelve on putting it back on the shelve.

A wonderful, well written book on the subject providing a captivating mix of technical details, insider trivia and background stories - impossible to put down! The author displays a deep knowledge and passion for American supercars, providing a riveting cross section from classic cars to modern trucks - all illustrated by artful high quality photographs. This book makes a great addition for your enthusiast library or your man cave alike.
