American Muscle Supercars American Muscle Supercars
by David Newhardt

Ultimate Street Performance from Shelby,
Baldwin Motion, Mr. Norm and Other
Legendary Tuners
The American muscle car began, not in the
factories of the Big Three automakers, but in the
garages and dealerships of a Detroit subculture
bent on making the hottest, highest-performance
cars on the street. American Muscle Supercars tells
the story of these tuner/builders and the supercars
they unleashed on the American scene. It all begins
with Michigan's Royal Pontiac dealership, and the
souped-up Royal Pontiac Bobcats they built and
sold to drag racers, starting a thrill that's never
faded. From those Royal Pontiac tuner cars to the
new Boss 302 Mustang built by Steve Saleen, this
gorgeously illustrated book chronicles the outsize
contribution of the tuner/builder to American
automotive history.
Author-photographer David Newhardt profiles the tuner/builders who have dominated American
performance--names like Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge, Nickey Chevrolet, Don Yenko, Carroll
Shelby, George Hurst, and Baldwin-Motion. And he focuses on the tuners who continue to lead the
way, builders such as Steve Saleen, Calloway, and SLP, whose vehicles are the fastest ever built.
From the oldest of these muscle tuners, commanding top dollar at today's classic-car auctions, to the
latest attempts by Ford and Chrysler to get into the game, this book gives readers a full and
fascinating look at American high-performance in its purest form.

A Journey with the Burbank Choppers Car Club
If you haven’t noticed, traditional hot rodding is back in a big
way. Among the scene’s biggest players are the members of
an exclusive club known as the Burbank Choppers. The
Choppers gained prominence recently with an appearance on
the TLC show RIDES, but this recent fame belies the fact that
they’ve been living and promoting their brand of traditional
hot rod and custom car philosophy for more than 15 years.
For this book, the author photographed and traveled with the
Burbank Choppers from Southern California to Japan to give
readers an inside look at the Choppers' unique lives and
cars.
