My best guess is that they are now out of print and have thus generated a good demand.     Wow. $135 a pop. The back cover lists at $34.95.

Oh wow maybe I should get mine off the back of the toilet and put it in some type of protective cover....

Oh wow Shocked maybe I should get mine off the back of the toilet and put it in some type of protective cover....

Ha! I just got up and retrieved mine from the very same place! Might put it somewhere safer now...

[tan top]

  its not that old either !!  think i got mind in the early 90s

Took a look on Amazon and the cheapest one on there is $125.   

Once a book goes out of print, if there is any kind of demand it does not take very long for prices to inflate past the cover price.

Imagine how much they'd be worth if they were accurate!

yeah thats true !! not every thing is 100% in there

No, but I guess in all fairness to Paul Herd, he was really a Pontiac guy and when he wrote that book he was just trying to help us (and make a buck).  There wasn't anything else out there at the time and no internet really so I do remember when I bought mine being grateful for it.

Now there will be a market for bootleg copies...

[CDN72SE]

On amazon.ca there is one listed for $393.25US used and in very good condition.  

**Just bought one for $44.94.** 

[BrianShaughnessy]

Mine's in fair condition... I'll let it go for $125 plus shipping

  Welp, I guess that explains my Pontiac grill...

Well, you see, some of you didn't appreciate a book that you had and thought not much of it  but now you do sense there is a $$ sign amount that now goes along with the book that some of you all didn't know it now had. When you get a book you should always take care of it no matter what   

I don't have the book, didn't get one when they first came out and still don't want one now because of the cash that it could pull in. 

[Hemidoug]

Wow...that's a lot of $$$$$$$ for a lot of mistakes.....

[Ghoste]

And wouldn't you just know it, a quick check reveals that his Barracuda/Challenger Restoration book is bringing more money than the Charger one.  Those E-body guys just can't keep a dollar in their wallet no matter what.  

[carolina charger]

 I bought the book last year of EBay and I know I didn't pay over $30 for it.

[bsakal]

My buddy bought me that book for my 30th birthday, 13 years ago, I didn't even own a Charger until 5 years ago, he must have known something! 

[aone415]

Woooohoooo I got 2!!!

[tipopiola]

Wow, I bought mine last year at Borders for the cover price.  I can't believe that a book that has only been out of print for such a short time could have gone up that much!

[resq302]

Hmmm time to sell mine?

[maxwellwedge]

No, but I guess in all fairness to Paul Herd, he was really a Pontiac guy and when he wrote that book he was just trying to help us (and make a buck).  There wasn't anything else out there at the time and no internet really so I do remember when I bought mine being grateful for it.

   Good One!

It's not worth that much money unless some idiot actually pays that much for it. 

[BrianShaughnessy]

It's not worth that much money unless some idiot actually pays that much for it. 

I know that... you know that... but I'm hoping the idiot doesn't figure it out until AFTER he pays me

Same here.  Santa has to get some money somehow for all those presents!   

[Belgium R/T -68]

I bought one before I started my project but I actually havn't read it yet. I guess I looked for a moore "how to do it" book
and ended up with "Project Charger" by Larry Lyles which didn't learn me anything either. I'm lucky to have DC.COM.
