Muscle Cars: High-Performance Machines

FROM THE PUBLISHER

FAST, POWERFUL CARS with aggressive styling, head-turning looks and rumbling exhaust notes are the ultimate street performers, and have been immortalized over the years by film heroes as Steve McQueen in Bullitt . Muscle Cars celebrates the best of these exhilarating machines, providing a detailed look over 45 great cars from the golden age of street racing. All the great marques are covered, including the classic muscle machines from Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet, and Pontiac.

Illustrated with specially commissioned photography, each car is examined from all angles in close-up detail. Detailed specifications are provided for each machine, including performance, statistics, engine type, transmission, special features, running gear, and dimensions. The book also takes a close look under the hood, examining the chassis and suspension as well as the design of the engine. Finally, the book follows the production milestones in each car's life, and marks refinements and developments in styling and performance.
