Description
The SCCA Trans-Am series was one of the most intriguing and exciting in motorsport history, and one which signified the golden age of the pony muscle car. This photohistory follows Trans-Am from its inception through the climactic the 1971 season, when drastic rules changes forced the withdrawal of American manufacturers. Readers witness a veritable "who's who" of Indy, NASCAR, Can-Am, and F1 race legends - Foyt, Petty, Ickx, Donohue, Gurney, Jones, Hall, and others - dicing it out on the greatest road courses in America behind the wheels of musclebound Mustangs, Camaros, 'Cudas, Challengers, and Javelins, as well a sleek Datsuns, Porsches, Alfa Romeos, and BMWs. Guaranteed to appeal to vintage-race aficionados and muscle-car enthusiasts alike.
