Million-Dollar Muscle Cars

Viac o knihe

About the In the 1960s and 1970s American automakers produced millions of muscle high-performance cars more adept at competition than transportation. The baby boom generation snapped up these cars and proceeded to use them as intended, drag and street racing the cars until there was nothing left of them.No longer minimum-wage high schoolers, today’s boomers enjoy more disposable income than any generation in history. And many of them are spending that income on highly collectible muscle cars.Because so few muscle cars survived the abuse of young drivers back in the day, muscle car prices have skyrocketed, with mundane muscle cars commanding six-figure prices and the most significant muscle cars surpassing the million-dollar mark. Respected muscle car expert Colin Comer and top photographer David Newhardt tell the story of each of these rarest of rare cars in Million-Dollar Muscle Cars, the only book dedicated to these top-flight cars.Table of Big-Money MuscleSection 1: Million-Dollar Cars Chapter 1970-1971 ‘Cuda & Challenger Hemi Convertibles Chapter 1965 Shelby GT350 R Models Chapter 1965 Hurst GeeTO Tiger Chapter 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Chapter 1968 Camaro Z/28 Convertible Chapter 1969 Trans Am Convertibles Chapter 1969 ZL1 Camaros Chapter 1971 Sox & Martin Stock Hemi ‘Cuda CarSection 2: Six Figures and Rising Chapter 1965 Hurst Motor Trend GTO Riverside 500 Pace Car Chapter 1965-1966 Shelby GT350 Factory Drag Cars Chapter 1968 Mr. Norm’s GSS 440 Dart Chapter 1969 Yenko 427 Nova Chapter 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi Chapter 1969-1971 Pontiac GTO Judge Round-Port Convertibles Chapter 1970 Chevelle L56 ConvertibleAppendices Appendix Alternatives to Million-Dollar Muscle Appendix A Real-World Buyer’s Guide See Motorbooks author Colin Comer interviewed by Jay Leno on
