Expensive restoration/reference/Mopar books

[ChargerST]

It's amazing how expensive some books have become since they've been out of print (all prices are from amazon and books are used - new is even more expensive):

Larry Lyles - Project Charger $288.80

Paul Herd - Charger, Road Runner and Super Bee Restoration Guide $119.38

Frank Adkins - Chrysler Performance Upgrades $43.21

"Paperback  from $288.79"


Paperback for that kind of dough?

I would want the Paul Herd book.....if they paid me $119.38 to take it.

The Larry book is very good....but not 288.00 dollars good.

The Paul book has some errors that make it worth a lot less....119.00 dollars, really?

The Frank book seems to be good, but as with all "Upgrade" type books....they become dated as new parts come out and old parts go away...

Glad I have all three books in my collection, because I wouldn't pay that kind of money for any of them....

Same here.

Paid $50 for all 3 of them 

I bought Larry's book a few years ago for $20, Paul's and Frank's books this year for $30 combined. Just to add some pieces to the collection - wouldn't pay that much for any of them.

these books are on Ebay currently, the Charger resto one is $40 buy it now with free shipping. not sure what the $288 is all about.  Ive got all 3, was about to toss them on ebay for that kind of money. I didnt think the books were that great personally.

$474?!? Damn...I guess I should give that book a more prominent place on my bookshelf. Move over Stephen King....

Nothing against those books, but I think you can find most everything you need from this site and others. Lots of good info out there on the internet. Just cross check and don't take one guys word as gospel.
