The Hemi in the Barn: The Hemi in the Barn:
More Great Stories of Automotive Archaeology
by Tom Cotter
The Hemi in the Barn, with more than forty new stories of amazing
finds and automotive resurrections. Avid collectors big and small
recall the thrills of the hunt, the tips and hunches followed, clues
pursued, the heart-stopping payoff. There's the forgotten
Duesenberg--the only unrestored one around--that Jay Leno found in
a Burbank garage. There's another 1931 model Dusenberg Leno
found in a parking garage in New York City that was parked in 1933
and was never moved. There's a Plymouth Superbird found buried
in a hedge out of sight in Alabama. There's the rescue of the first
1955 Corvette ever built. There's the find of legendary race builder
Smokey Yunick's Boss 302 Trans-Am car. And there's the story of
the original Cobra Daytona Coupe built by Peter Brock and sold to
Phil Spectre--a story that somehow involves a chauffeur's daughter
setting herself and her rabbits on fire. As entertaining as these tales
are--and some are truly corkers--they're also full of tantalizing hints
and suggestions for readers setting off on their own adventures in
automotive archaeology.

Peterbilt: Long-Haul Legend
Veteran trucking author Beach highlights the models that
have made Peterbilt such an outsize presence in the trucking
industry, as well as those trucks that figure prominently in the
Peterbilt story. From the classic "iron nose" and "narrow-nose"
butterfly hood, to the tilt-cab cab-over-engine model; from the
high cab model and first tilt hood to fiberglass and flat "pit style"
fenders; from the rarest Peterbilt ever manufactured (a mere
10 of the 346) to the company's flagship truck (the 379, built
from 1987 through 2007), these are the trucks and features,
the innovations and marvels of engineering, detailed and
richly illustrated in this book, that have made Peterbilt a name
to be reckoned with in trucking worldwide.

The Cobra in the Barn
Here is the classic version of a car lovers fairy tale: You look
into an old abandoned barn or garage or warehouse—and
theres the car youve searched for your whole life. Here are
the true stories of people who found their dream cars in the
most unlikely places: A man finds one of three King Cobras
ever built in a junkyard in South Carolina; another discovers a
rare Delahaye in a barn in the former Czech Republic; yet
another answers an obscurely written ad in a local paper to
discover a Triumph TR3 that had run the Daytona 24 Hour
race in the early 1960s. The list goes on and on, and the
stories never get old. Relive the excitement, glory in the
astounding discoveries, and revel in the cars that keep
dreams alive.

Muscle Trucks: High-Performance Pickups
While not a hot rod, the Cameo was super cool and it proved
that customers would buy a truck that could play as well as
work. Ford then followed with its crossover pioneer, the
Ranchero, which was half car, half truck. The Ranchero
inspired Chevrolet's El Camino, and both of these hybrids
featured high-performance variations before all was said and
done. This book honors all the hot trucks, then and now, with a
selection of outstanding color photography detailing these
high-performance haulers inside and out. Among others,
photo subjects include the Chevy SS 454, SS 396 and SS
454 El Camino, Cobra Jet Ranchero, GMC Syclone, Chevy
SSR, Ford SVT Lighting, Dodge SRT-10, the Lil Red Truck,
and the new Dodge Hemi Rams.
