Going through my libray of Mopar related reading today I realized that I've read and re-read all of them many times so for Christmas I'm buying myself something new.

So, what is your most valued and recommended reading?

If you can find a copy of Mighty Mopars it's a good one, and Hemi: The Ultimate V8 by Robert Genat (hardback) is a good one too. Also, if you just dig cars in general then there is a 50 years of Bonneville hardback that is awesome and another hardback by Peter Vincent titled Hot Rod: An American Original that is a companion book to the Hemi one. For a good read I recommend the book Cannonball by Brock Yates.

First would be the fsm for any Mopar I own.   ;)   After that, I find I like just about anything Robert Genat writes.   A couple that I have enjoyed recently have been "Fifty Years of Mopar Muscle" and "Six Pack".   "Supercars", that book about the wing cars was good too but it isn't really a recent publication.   There hasn't been much in the last 12 months Moparwise but there are still lot's out there I don't have yet.   I want to read that book about Daimler's takeover of Chrysler sometime.

Wow, I thought I had a fair collection but the only one of those that I have is Mighty Mopars. I was looking the 50 years book the other night and that's one to add to my list for sure. Haven't seen the others I don't think.

Cool!

Motorbooks International is a good site to look those up if you don't already know about them.

How about "Chrysler Muscle- Detroits Mightiest Machines", by Bill Holder and Phil Kunz.  It's chock-full of great history and information.  Incredible pics and artwork are all over this book.

This is one book to have in your MoPar library!!!

Same with "Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Muscle" by Anthony Young.  Some old ads and such in there too.
