Dodge Challenger et Charger : livres - histoire et technique

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.

Art of Mopar : Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Muscle Cars

The history of Chrysler Corporation is, in many ways, a history of a company floundering from one financial crisis to the next. While that has given shareholders fits for nearly a century, it has also motivated the Pentastar company to create some of the most outrageous, and collectible, cars ever built in the United States.

From the moment Chrysler unleashed the Firepower hemi V-8 engine on the world for the 1951 model year, they had been cranking out the most powerful engines on the market. Because the company pioneered the use of lightweight unibody technology, it had the stiffest, lightest bodies in which to put those most powerful engines, and that is the basic muscle-car formula: add one powerful engine to one light car.

When the muscle car era exploded onto the scene, Chrysler unleashed the mighty Mopar muscle cars, the Dodges and Plymouths that defined the era.
Fabled nameplates like Charger, Road Runner, Super Bee, 'Cuda, and Challenger defined the era and rank among the most valuable collector cars ever produced by an American automaker.

Featuring cars from the incomparable Brothers' Collection, "The Art of Mopar: Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Muscle Cars" celebrates these cars in studio portraits using the light-painting process perfected by Tom Loeser. It is the ultimate portrayal of the ultimate muscle cars.
