Car Book Review

[Ghoste]

In case you might be hoping for any of these this holiday season, I just wanted to say that I've recently completed a couple of Mopar titles.  One is Geoff Stunkards "Hemi: A History of Chryslers Iconic V8 in Competition" and the other was "Charger, Road Runner and Super Bee: 50 Years of Chryslers B-body"
The Stunkard Hemi book is excellent.  He picked a topic that has been done to death and yet still makes a fresh twist of it with some interesting side stories and photos I hadn't seen before.  He even bravely slays a few sacred cows and when it comes to the Hemi in competition there are plenty of them.  The history of the B-body however is anything but.  Its a nice little story and there are some nice photos in it to be sure but its really just a book about Mopar performance cars in general with a lot of pages devoted to recent models.  And rather than kill sacred cows, this book is more along the line of perpetuating the myth and even starting a few new ones.
Personally I only recommend the Stunkard one.

I have that "50" book; I agree with your assessment.  Pictures are definitely nice though...

Hemi book is a good read.   No reflection on Geoff, but I wish the photos were larger.   Quite a few are smaller than what I would expect.   Probably has to do with page count.
