Review:

"Camaro. Mustang. Charger. Just hearing the names of these and other classic "muscle cars" from the 1960s and 1970s revs the hearts and minds of many. Automobile journalist Mueller (The Complete Book of Corvette; The Complete Book of Mustang) further ignites this obsession by offering a complete chronological breakdown of every muscle car make and model, detailing horsepower, transmission, torque, units of production, and more. While Mueller doesn't include price guides for what has become a popular collectibles car market, his running commentary offers insights into these cars' ramp-up to mass production, their fade-out owing to emissions concerns, and various "back from the dead" revivals. VERDICT High-octane fodder for car enthusiasts." - Library Journal

'an intelligent balance between drama, facts and images... A top buy for those interested in automotive engineering'
