Muscle Car Confidential Muscle Car Confidential
Confessions of a Muscle Car Test Driver
Joe Oldham
Today, a 1970 Hemi Cuda can change hands for as much as a
quarter of a million dollars. But when it was introduced, the Barracuda
was just a car, and it was Joe Oldhams job to beat the daylights out
of it. A tell-all from the man who tested the best, this book delves into
the notes Oldham made on the cars he vetted for some of the top
car magazines. Here are the photos (including outtakes) and the
hard cold facts on muscle cars from the 1964 GTO to the 1976
Trans Am 455 HO--twenty-four in all. The 1970 Buick Gran Sport
GSX, Oldham notes, was "the best handling muscle car we ever
tested." The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner, on the other hand, was
"just a car that didnt run very well"--despite its 426 Hemi. Today,
people might know the articles Oldham wrote, and they might know
the performance numbers he got. But how he did those things was
an untold story. This behind-the-scenes book is a close-up look at
what it was like to live in the muscle car era and to help create the
myth that still lives on today.

Million-Dollar Muscle Cars
The rare models that survived in good shape are a
collectors dream, easily commanding six-figure prices and

Cars provides a photographic history of these rarest of rare
cars, from the high-performance fantasies of yesterday to the
high-finance wheeling and dealing of today. In full-color
pictures and detailed prose, the book follows these cars from

automotive world awakening to their historical significance
and eternal cool.

Barrett-Jackson
Barrett-Jackson: The World's Greatest Collector Car Event.
Highlighting some of the most important collector cars ever
offered, and featuring photographs from Barrett-Jackson's
extensive collection, this book follows the unfolding of a
lifelong friendship and partnership and the building of a
brilliant tradition. From the 1967 fund-raiser "Fiesta del los Auto
Elegance" to the first classic car auction in 1971, from the
trend- (and record-) setting events that made their name to the
high-tech, family-run enterprise Barrett-Jackson has become,
the book chronicles a legend built on a mutual passion. This
is an American success story founded on that most American
of icons, the classic car.

Barris Kustom Techniques of the '50s
People are as interesting in painting and customizing now, as
they were when this material was first created, in the 1950s.
Everyone wants to know how to do a flame job, or how to run a
pair of pinstripes straight down the side of their car. In this
book George Barris explains how he and brother Sam did
their custom painting and early flame jobs in the 1950s. No
one can tell this story as well as George Barris, a fine
photographer and the man who built many of the cars shown
in the book. This particular book, Volume 4, contains more
than just the photos and words of George Barris. This volume
contains first-person side-bars by legendary painters and
builders like Dean Jeffries and Larry Watson, describing how
they developed their talents and what it was like to customize
cars in those days.
