Dodge Challenger & Plymouth Barracuda - Chrysler's Potent Pony Cars

A Dodge Challenger R/T was famously used in Vanishing Point - the 1971 action road movie starring Barry Newman. Published by Veloce at $68.50 in hardback, and written in Peter's easy to follow and unpretentious style, this new book follows a chronological journey through the development of Chrysler pony cars from the 1960 Valiant onwards.

Fascinating design concepts and evolution are incorporated, featuring all sub-series and models. The book boasts 375 mainly colour pictures, including fresh new photos of original vehicles and rarely seen archive pictures and period adverts. Along with the Ford Mustang, the Plymouth Barracuda was often referred to by the colloquial name "pony car", and although the Mustang went on to outsell the 'slippery Fish' it was the first incarnation of the Barracuda that was released first on 1 April 1964, beating the Mustang to the dealerships by two clear weeks.
