Trans-Am Era The Golden Years In Photographs 1966-1972

Product description

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Trans-Am Sedan championship, or Trans-Am, which held its first event in March 1966. A new book from David Bull Publishing brings back all the speed, excitement and intrigue of this classic road racing series during its greatest years in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this book hundreds of photographs along with detailed captions to deliver a year-by-year, race-by-race account of the Trans-Am’s first seven seasons. The focus is on the iconic over two-liter pony cars that attracted the most attention from fans and support from Detroit; the Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Pontiac Firebirds, AMC Javelins, and Dodge Challengers that were hot sellers at the time and remain instantly recognizable today. Driving these machines were many of the top names in American motorsport, including technically sophisticate sports-car driver Mark Donohue, Indy 500 winner Parnelli Jones, and all-around driving aces Dan Gurney and Peter Revson.
