Racing Mustangs by Dr. John Craft


The title picture of this books is  misleading, as the content is more than 90% about the classic Mustang Trans Am Racing History. Dr. John Craft is a famous Mustang historian that has reputation for accuracy and coverage of worldwide Falcons & Mustangs racing past. This is another hot tip as of August 2002, when it was published. Make sure you get hold of this book, although it will be probably readily available based on the minor marketing mistake with the pic.

Recommended for T/A fans. Available via www.amazon.com

Trans Am by David Friedman

David Friedman was not only the official Shelby American photographer, but kept an eye on other cars as well. He lets his photographs very often speak for themselves in any of his bestselling books. The same applies for the Trans Am book about the Pony Car Wars of 1966-1972.
Recommended for T/A fans. Available via www.amazon.com

Donald Farr wrote this book decades ago and unfortunately it is obsolete as of 2001 its original version.  Sometimes they pop up on ebay for 150 to 300 dollar and are still considered by collectors.

This excellent full colour picture book contains a good dose of the T/A Mustangs. Recommended not only for T/A enthusiasts.
   

NO SHOW - TRANS AM 1966-1972
Unfortunately this interesting book by Tim Tuttle and Daniel Lipetz never made it into the distribution. Still listed online somewhere, the Lipetz family receives requests for it once and then,but it remains unavailable until further notice.

We hope it makes its way once to the public

   

OBSOLETE - TRANS-AM Racing 1966-1985 by Albert Brochroch
This book reappears once and then on ebay or amazon as a used book upwards of 150 Dollar.
Written in 1986 it is a nice present for a T/A enthusiast.
