Inside the book

The Chevrolet Camaro was built specifically to answer the Ford Mustang and take on the pony car wars of the mid-1960s. This two-book set covers the rivalry from the 1964 Mustang debut to the modern era. You get the full drag racing history of the first two generations and a year-by-year breakdown of the engineering and styling wars. Having both on your bench means you know the production changes and the specific racing exploits that defined American muscle.
