Pretty Good Guide

Fans of fast and powerful high performance cars - the muscle cars - will love the Muscle Cars Field Guide. Rather than just focusing on the Golden Age of Muscle Cars, John Gunnell shares information about literally hundreds of different cars from the 60s through the 90s. Gunnell lists historical information about the cars, as well as the original prices of muscle cars and values of current ones. Because the Camaro is about to be reintroduced by Chevrolet, I found this section especially interesting. You can enjoy this book from many perspectives: as a nostalgic and sentimental look at cars from America's past; as a way to discover more about what powers our transportation; or as a way to imagine the appearance and performance of future vehicles. In any case, we highly recommend John Gunnell's Muscle Cars Field Guide.

Trip down 'memory lane'! Fantastic field guide!

This great little book will transport you back to a time where 475 horsepower V8 American 'muscle cars' cost about 3 to 4 thousand dollars, and did 0-60 in 6 seconds or under! If words like 'Hemi', 'Ram Air', and 'Rocket 455' give you goosebumps, you know what I mean. Excellent full page photos and stats as well! Easily 5 stars.
