American Muscle Cars

Hemi Muscle Cars

Chrysler's Hemi-powered muscle cars were quite arguably the most coveted and outrageous vehicles ever unleashed on American streets. During the height of the muscle car era, fire-breathing Hemi V-8 engines set performance standards that all other manufacturers desperately attempted, but miserably failed, to attain.

Production automobiles

Featuring a gallery of all-new color photography by veteran MBI author Robert Genat, this history of Chrysler's Hemi muscle cars focuses on production automobiles like the Road Runner, Charger, Challenger, Super Bee, Super Bird, and Barracuda, but also includes coverage of the motorsport Hemis that dominated NHRA drag strips and NASCAR ovals.

Muscle Cars

The muscle cars remain American favorites. Here they are shown with all their verve and glamour.
Barracuda, Mustang, GTO, Ford Fairlane: these names typify the American muscle car and conjure up the sights and sounds of 1960s and '70s USA.

Driver's dream cars

In a volume packed with mouthwatering color photographs of every driver's dream cars, Jim Campisano, editor in chief of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords magazine, chronicles the history of these super-powered autos, covering now-forgotten vehicles as well as the more famous asphalt burners. Relive each stage of the muscle car era: 1960-63, when their popularity began to grow; 1964-67, the time of the intermediate-size super-car craze; 1965-74, when the pony-car wars raged; and 1968-74, when the autos underwent major redesign. In addition, auto enthusiasts will find discussions of non-factory-produced cars, including the Hurst SC/Ramblers, models built especially for racing, and such prototypes as the Dodge Diamante.
Sidebars detail special cars, important personalities, and major developments, and extensive chart listings include specifications for engines available in each production year.
