description: They're America's dream machines--and here they are, shown in all their glory, verve, and glamour.Barracuda, Mustang, GTO, Ford these names typify the American muscle car and conjure up the sights and sounds of the 1960s and '70s. In a volume packed with mouthwatering color photographs of every driver's fantasy cars, Jim Campisano, editor-in-chief of Muscle Mustangs &amp; 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 1960-63, when their popularity began to grow; 1964-67, the time of the intermediate-size supercar craze; 1965-74, when the ponycar 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.
