Shelby’s company overflowed with talent, from designer \u003cstrong\u003ePete Brock\u003c\/strong\u003e to fabricator extraordinare \u003cstrong\u003ePhil Remington\u003c\/strong\u003e to drivers like \u003cstrong\u003eDan Gurney, Ken Miles, Dave MacDonald, Bob Bondurant, and Phil Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e. The cars were equally captivating: \u003cstrong\u003eShelby Cobra, Mustang GT 350, Ford GT, Daytona Coupe\u003c\/strong\u003e. Morton’s story is intertwined with the memories of other Shelby staffers of the period to reveal the rousing, sometimes tragic, story of this famed group. Morton eventually traded his broom for a steering wheel, racing Cobras as well as his own cars until he left Shelby in 1965. Although he and Shelby parted ways, their relationship endured as John went on to compete in a number of racing series. He remains an active historic racer today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911919779911,"sku":"B05811","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/b05811.jpg?v=1772256672"},{"product_id":"101-performance-projects-for-your-bmw-3-series-1982-2000-motorbooks-workshop","title":"101 Performance Projects For Your Bmw 3 Series 1982-2000 (Motorbooks Workshop)","description":"Since its introduction in 1975, the BMW 3-series \nhas earned a reputation as one of the worlds greatest sports sedans. \nUnfortunately, it has also proven one of the more expensive to service and \nmaintain. \n\nThis book is dedicated to the legion of BMW \n3-series owners who adore their cars and enjoy restoring, modifying, and \nmaintaining them to perfection; its format allows more of these \nenthusiasts to get out into the garage and work on their BMWs-and in the \nprocess, to save a fortune. \n\nCreated with the weekend mechanic in mind, this \nextensively illustrated manual offers 101 projects that will help you \nmodify, maintain, and enhance your BMW 3-series sports sedan.

Where members of the herd drive Toyota Camrys and hipster hatchbacks, bikers opt for Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, and Ducatis, putting themselves out there with raised middle fingers thrust at the ordinary citizens of the world. Just as a motorcyclist's ride is an affront to the sensibilities of the meek and the conventional, so too is the ink on their skin. Tattoos have long been an integral part of this culture, the result of the overwhelming number of ex-military men who formed the nucleus of the postwar outlaw motorcycle club scene. These soldiers, sailors, and marines returned from war with statements etched in ink upon their bodies, and they continued that tradition when they formed the clubs that came to define motorcycle culture. In 1000 Biker Tattoos, motorcycle photographer Sara Liberte celebrates the most personal of art forms by capturing the wild abandon of the motorcycle lifestyle as expressed through tattoo work. Featuring 1,000 photos of tattoos and the artwork used to create them, along with profiles of the most renowned tattoo artists in the biker community, this book provides an unprecedented window into the most intimate aspect of motorcycle culture.","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31912131559495,"sku":"B04475","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/d2e6228d-565e-4d7f-82f2-a4d58065eed7_2fc25.jpg?v=1772255109"},{"product_id":"f1-mavericks-the-men-and-machines-that-revolutionized-formula-1-racing","title":"F1 Mavericks: The Men and Machines that Revolutionized Formula 1 Racing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eF1 Mavericks\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the story of the grandest, most influential and most fondly remembered era in \u003cstrong\u003eFormula 1\u003c\/strong\u003e racing as seen through the lens of master motorsports photographer, \u003cstrong\u003ePete Biro\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Randy tells the whole story--design and development, racing and competition, engineering and technology, style and culture. All the iconic 911 models are included: the original 901 prototype that set the standard; the legendary RS models that made the little Porsche a dominant force on the world's racetracks; the infamous Turbo, the car that kept the performance flame alight during the dark, dismal decade of the 1970s; the fabled 959, the model that redefined the term \"sports car\"; the 993, last of the original air-cooled models; and the 996, 997, and 991, the liquid-cooled cars that brought the 911 into a new millennium. Beyond telling the story of the cars, Porsche 911: 50 years also spotlights the people behind them: Ferdinand \"Butzi\" Porsche, the son of legendary Porsche founder Ferdinand \"Ferry\" Porsche, who co-designed the instantly recognizable 911 shape; Peter W. Schutz, the Porsche CEO who saved the 911 from extinction; and Dr. Helmuth Bott, the engineering genius behind many of the groundbreaking technologies that have defined the 911, including fuel injection, turbocharging, and all-wheel-drive. Leffingwell also tells the story of the 911 community--the clubs and culture that surround the car. Together, all of these facets make Porsche 911: 50 Years the most essential book in any Porsche owner or fan's library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32445455073351,"sku":"B04348","price":42.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/1b18904f-ae9e-4edf-ac79-a99d3b02f3ba_2092a.jpg?v=1772276030"},{"product_id":"the-complete-book-of-classic-volkswagens-beetles-microbuses-things-karmann-ghias-and-more-complete-book-series","title":"The Complete Book Of Classic Volkswagens: Beetles, Microbuses, Things, Karmann Ghias, And More (Complete Book Series)","description":"See the entire chronology of air-cooled Volkswagen vehicles in this \nbeautifully illustrated overview of one of the oldest and best-known \nforeign car brands in America.\n\nVolkswagen Beetles and their variants are some of the most iconic and \neasily recognizable cars on the road!\n\nThe classic air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle, officially the Volkswagen Type \n1, is regarded as one of the most important and well-engineered vehicles \nof the twentieth century. It was the most popular imported car in \nAmerica in the 1960s, and before that it enjoyed a humble beginning as \n\"the people's car\" in its native Germany. The Complete Book of Classic \nVolkswagens encompasses the evolution of the popular Beetle as well as \nother variations of Volkswagen's air-cooled cars, vans, and trucks. \nThoroughly illustrated, this is an invaluable reference to Volkswagen's \ncollectible and iconic cars.\n\nThe history of VW automobiles is just as colorful as the hues they were \nmanufactured in, and this book illustrates the full story. German \nautomakers originally sought to supply their countrymen with an \nautomobile that was easy to mass produce. By 1938, they finalized the \ndesign for the VW \"Bug\"--the first rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive \nconfigured car. In its heyday, the little rounded Beetle was produced at \na rate of more than one million per year. Today, with more than 23 \nmillion cars built, the Beetle holds the record as the most-produced \npassenger car of all time. But the Beetle is only one part of the \nair-cooled Volkswagen story. The rest--from Type 2 vans, pick-ups, and \ncampers to the Type 113 \"Super Beetle\"--is included here. If you're the \nowner of a Volkswagen or if you just love their iconic look and you're \ninterested in their evolution, this book deserves a place on your \nbookshelf.","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32448369721415,"sku":"B05243","price":40.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/b05243.jpg?v=1772254760"},{"product_id":"the-autocourse-history-of-the-grand-prix-car-1945-65-usedvg","title":"The Autocourse History Of The Grand Prix Car 1945-65 USEDVG USED","description":"It's not just a nuts and bolts book, though. The technical evolution of \nthe cars and teams is examined in detail with reference to the context \nof team management, the drivers involved, the racecourses upon which the \nchampionships were contested and with an eye to what the competition was \nup to meanwhile. Its appendix is just as impressive; it's a formidable \ngallery summarizing the efforts of all of the others who have contested \nfor the big prize, with varying levels of success. This is a large \nhardcover bound book, printed on thick, glosssy stock and includes many \nblack and white photographs of the cars in action, being worked on in \nthe pits and in the garages, their details and some archive photos from \nthe various manufacturers. There is a color center section with some \nlarge, full page photographs taken at various venues. It offers a far \nmore comprehensive look at the sport and its history than contemporary \nmotorsports coverage's often tempered sound bites and superficial \nexposes. I recommend it and its equally impressive companion volume \ndealing with Grand Prix formula cars from 1966 to 1991 to the \ntechnologically curious and die hard F1 fans as wonderful primers for \nunderstanding and enjoying contemporary F1.","brand":"Motorbooks Intl; First Edition ~1st Printing edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32463756722247,"sku":"97818#VG","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9781874557500_ba43ceb6-b364-436d-ba01-ea5cf744b06a.png?v=1772260740"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/ar\/collections\/motorbooks-books-shop-manuals.oembed?page=6","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
