Proving Ground Proving Ground
A History of Dodge Chrysler and Plymouth Racing
by Jim Schild
From the early decades of the Indy 500 to the modern Super
speedways of NASCAR, from the 24 Hours of Le Mans to drag
racing's 4.5-second quarter-mile runs, this is the story of one
company's pursuit of performance and the glory that came with it.
Full of hundreds of color and black and white photos, we hear tales
of the Hemi, the Superbird, Don Garlits, Richard Petty, and many
other legends. Noted author and Chrysler enthusiast Jim Schild tells
the whole MOPAR story, from door-banging Trans Am racing, to
land speed records on the salt flats of Bonneville, from the
legendary C-300 to the road-shredding Dodge Viper. Full of
fascinating history and excitement, this book is a must-have for all
fans of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth.

Challenger and Cuda Mopars E-Body Muscle Cars
Chrysler entered the pony-car market with the Barracuda in
the early 1960s. The car was refined over the years,
becoming a true muscle car, and a rather handsome one at
that, but it wasn’t until the advent of the E-body pony cars from
1970-1974—Barracudas, the Dodge Challenger, and Plymouth
‘Cuda—that Chrysler became a true player in the pony-car
market. This book tells the story of Chrysler’s pony car series,
from the advent of the original Barracuda in 1964 to the final
days of the smog-motored Challengers and ‘Cudas of the
mid-1970s, focusing on the heyday in the early 1970s.

Dodge Dynamite!: 50 Years of Dodge Muscle Cars
Author Peter Grist account of Dodge's muscle cars for the
last 50 years is an exciting introduction that will appeal to
everyone who is interested in American automobile history.
When the first Dodge performance cars were conceived in the
early 1950s, they were a brave step for a company that was
well known for its dependable saloons and pickups. Peter
Grist describes this change of direction and the radical new
thinking that resulted in the creation of the Dodge Hemi V8 of
1953. This remarkable engine provided the power for the first
sporting Dodges and led to the race-bred D-500 series of
1956, the first Dodge Muscle car.
