In the 1960s and 1970s, American automakers produced millions of high-performance muscle cars, designed more for competition than transportation. The baby boom generation eagerly embraced these vehicles, engaging in drag and street racing, often leading to their rapid deterioration. Now, as affluent boomers with more disposable income than any previous generation, many are investing in collectible muscle cars. Due to the limited number of surviving models from their heyday, prices have soared, with even average muscle cars fetching six-figure sums, while the most iconic can exceed a million dollars. Respected muscle car expert Colin Comer and renowned photographer David Newhardt explore the stories behind these rare vehicles in a dedicated volume. The book features a comprehensive table of big-money muscle cars, divided into two sections: the first highlights million-dollar cars, including notable models like the 1970-1971 ‘Cuda & Challenger Hemi Convertibles and the 1965 Shelby GT350 R Models. The second section focuses on six-figure cars, showcasing vehicles such as the 1965 Hurst Motor Trend GTO Riverside 500 Pace Car and the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi. Additionally, the book includes appendices offering alternatives to million-dollar muscle cars and a real-world buyer’s guide, providing valuable insights for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
