Muscle Car Confidential - Description
Joe Oldham was the man who tested Muscle Cars when they were first produced, and his job was to beat the daylights out of them! He recounts this in a frank, open, tell-all account taken directly from notes made at the time for top car magazines: the 1970 Buick Gran Sport GSX was "the best handling muscle car we ever tested"; the '68 Plymouth Road Runner was "just a car that didn't run very well" - even with it' s 426 Hemi. Containing original photographs, many never seen before, this strips away the romance and reveals hard facts, performance numbers, a being-the-scenes close-up look at the Muscle car era and what made it the myth that still lives today. First hand accounts of Muscle cars are becoming rarer and rarer, this book is bound to appeal to the legion of fans who remember the past, and value the future of these cars both on the road and as collectibles.
