A nice collection of pictures with horrid information!
I recieved this book as a gift for my birthday with very high hopes. Sadly it appears the autors knowledge of Chrysler Muscle cars was obtained by driving past a few dealerships during the late 60's and early 70's! It is possible to find an illustration that is incorrectly identified on at least 50% of the pages: numerous cars are given the wrong names, some that are correct are the right years, chrome parts are said to be painted grey, round emblems are called gas caps and it goes on and on!The text is horrible also. A few lines seem to have come straight from someone that has never been near the cars: "For example, the Dodge Super Bee and Plymouth Road Runner had identicle bodies. The differences were in the way they were detailed, chromed and advertised." "You can belive that if you placed a 425-HP Hemi in a 1960's Road Runner that originaly came with a 318-cid, the altered car would be worth more-Much, Much more!" These are just 2 ignorant errors within 2 pages of the book! Overll the book is not anywhere near the standards of Krause Publications books and should be avoided at all costs! Some of the pictures are nice but there are quite a few pictures of fogged lace paint jobs from the mid 70's that will make anyone who loves these cars recoil in disgust.
