As with all the CarTech books I have seen, yet another in the series that is first rate. This book covers collecting Muscle Car models. As a kid in the late 1960's Muscle Cars were all the rage and being too young to get behind the wheel, building the models was the next best thing.

Tim Boyd is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on model cars and in this book that rating is clearly on display. Tim covers every model for every year in amazing detail. Everything you would want to know is laid out and the photos and quality reproduction are truly amazing.

I built a number of these models as a kid, and even recreated my first real car, a 1966 Mustang down to the detail that modeling can do. It is a fun and rewarding hobby and this book will be a great reference and guide in reliving the fun times that these cars represented for so many of us. A great addition for any hobbyist, collector, or just plain fan of the greatest cars in history -- the Muscle Cars.
