Customer Reviews

A great book

This was a perfect deal. Clear description and a shipment with no problems. Communication was not a problem.

The Ultimate Pony Car Book

This book is everything you ever wanted to know about Mustangs, including the pre-history (what Ford sports cars led up to the development of the original "64 1/2" Mustang). It tells the complete story of every Mustang model ever made, even the regional one like the "California Special". It also covers every "Hypo" model Shelby made. The title says it's forty years of Mustang history and it doesn't lie. This is the most complete version of the Mustang story I've ever seen in one book.

Great book

I purchased this item as a gift for a Mustang enthusiast. He loved it. The pictures are amazing. It now sits main stage on his coffee table. It's a great conversation piece.

Mustang Forty Years

This is a great book. I was given this book as I have owned a 1966 Mustang GT and now own a Mustang Bullitt. It is very informative on the inception of the Mustang through its current models and even shows the next generation Mustang. It is very well written and has large beautiful photographs. Anyone who likes Mustangs will love this book.

5-star photos of McQueen/Bullitt/68 GT390 Fastback

I have always loved Mustangs (among many other cars), but the one that trips my trigger the most is the Mustang in the 1968 movie Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. Steve's co-stars are Robert Vaughn, Robert Duvall (early cameo)and many other recognizable actors and, of course, the '68 Mustang GT390 Fastback and the '68 Dodge Charger used in the chase. San Francisco should get a supporting actor nod as well. Still referred to as the best auto chase scene ever filmed, this one lights me every time I watch it.This book has the only high-resolution photos of the Mustang used in the movie that I have ever found. There some frames from the movie available on the NET, but nothing of this quality. The original cars are long since gone, but the car in these photos is an excellent reproduction and the photos are beautiful.The rest of the book is just as good, and if you are a muscle-car nut in general or a Mustang afficiando in particular, you will want to buy this book.
