Muscle Cars

Prepare to burn rubber and leave the opposition sitting at the line. The Age of Muscle was ushered in when Chevrolet dropped its big 409 under the hood, and it came of age when Ronny and the Daytonas immortalized the 1964 Pontiac GTO in song. The next few years saw an amazing array of tire-smoking monsters rumble off the assembly line, including Shelby and Boss Mustangs, Chevy Camaros, Dodge Chargers and Challengers, Plymouth Road Runners and Barracudas, and the AMC AMX. The fury of racing stripes and dramatic body scoops came to a crashing halt with the oil crisis of 1974. Muscle Cars celebrates all the beloved machines of this era with authoritative and engaging text and 280 full-color photographs.
