Customer Reviews

good book for mopar fans

This book is a good pic book and hi quality pics and some good info but limited in scope since it seems to focus an some models with alot of pics and not all models or small few pics on certain car models. Alot of good info in it though.

Great Storytelling and Magnificent Photography

Having read the somewhat mediocre reviews on this site I've decided to order the paperback edition, but was so thoroughly impressed by the contents and presentation that I traded it in for the large format hardcover edition. Having purchased most of the books on american cars published by Motorbooks (Mustang, Corvette, Chevy SS, Camaro to name a few) I can confidently state that this book stands with the best of them. The organization is very nice, with chapters arranged by Mopar body types (B-bodies, E-bodies, etc.) and manages to provide a nice coverage of each topic without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary technicalities. The photography is simply superb, in the best Motorbooks tradition. The book covers all of the landmark Mopar muscle cars, the Viper and some of the most recent efforts. However, do not expect to find information on newest SRT-8s, Chargers/Magnums etc as the book was published before their production started. Highly recommended not only Mopar fans, but anyone with interest in classic muscle cars.
