Coches Plymouth: libros - historia y modelos

The Complete Book of Classic Dodge and Plymouth Muscle - Every Model from 1960 to 1974

Dodge and Plymouth have been responsible for some of history's most iconic muscle cars - a resume including the immortal Road Runner, Dodge Daytona, Hemi 'Cuda, Challenger T/A, Charger, Super Bee, Super Bird, and GTX.
These cars, often referred to as "Mopars" (short for "Motor Parts," Chrysler's parts division), defined the golden age of the American muscle car. They earned the "Motor" part of the Mopar name by housing the most robust engines of the period: legendary power plants like the original Firepower Hemi, the Max Wedge, the 440 Super Commando, and the famed Street Hemi.
Even their small V8s, like the 340 LA-series engine that powered the AAR 'Cuda, are the stuff of motorhead folklore.

In this book they're all here: every car and every engine from the classic era. This gorgeously illustrated work takes readers through the fifty-plus-year history of Mopar performance, from the Hemi-powered 300 Series through the last cars produced before rising gas prices, tightened emissions, and outrageous insurance rates brought the curtain down on American muscle car production.

Author/photographer Mike Mueller offers an in-depth look at the specialty driving machines that have made Mopar performance an enduring part of American automotive culture for over half a century. With extensive details, specs, and spectacular photographs, Mueller's book stands alone as the ultimate resource on America's muscle cars.

1970 Plymouth Road Runner (Muscle Cars in Detail)

By 1969, the muscle car war among Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler had reached a fevered pitch. Plymouth's Road Runner, Mopar's intermediate entry, was leading the charge. For 1970, the Road Runner had its strongest year yet as it housed the best street V-8s Chrysler had to offer.

Author Scott Ross retraces the history of the Road Runner and brings the 1970 model year into full focus. The stripped-down Road Runner exemplified the essence of a purpose-built muscle car: brute power and stunning acceleration.

Each volume in the In Detail Series provides an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, as well as an examination of where the car is on the market today.
Also included are paint and option codes, VIN and build tag decoders, as well as production numbers.

1970 Plymouth Superbird (Muscle Cars in Detail)

Production models languished on salesroom floors due in part to NASCAR having increased the homologation requirement from 500 units to 2000. These cars were highly specialized, seen as being in excess in proportion to the hottest street cars of the period.
Fast-forward to today, Plymouth Superbirds are highly collectible and are the star attractions at car shows and auctions, pulling top dollar and generating real excitement. What a difference a few decades makes!
