Restoration, drag race and Mopar books

Post by Gas for GOSH »

Making some space on the bookshelves. All of these are in really good condition, most as new. I have done a quick check for you to see if they are available on ebay or Amazon and if so what the price is. As a result I think these are low prices but postage will need to be added. I'll list them all first, then put up photos for each one:

Dodge 1970 Dart and Challenger service manual part 1 and part 2 (reprint, as new) - on ebay for anything up to £80, cheapest I saw was £37 plus £16 postage from the US, my price £40 plus postage gets you both parts.

Steve Reyes - The dawn of pro-stock, Amazon £56 ebay £30, my price £20 plus postage SOLD

Paul Herd - Challenger and Cude Restoration 1967-74. not currently on ebay or Amazon, his Chevelle restoration is and is priced at £25, so my price £20 plus postage. SOLD

Doug Boyce - Drag racing's quarter mile warriors, ebay £38 Amazon £33, my price £20 plus postage

Doug Boyce - Grumpy's Toys, ebay £30 Amazon £66, my price £20 plus postage

Mike Mueller - Motor City Muscle, ebay £17.99, my price £10 plus postage SOLD

Mike Mueller - Chrysler Muscle Cars: The Ultimate Guide, not available at the moment, my price £15 plus postage SOLD

Anthony Young - Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth Muscle, not available, my price £10 plus postage SOLD

Richard Petty - The cars of the King ebay £103 new £16 plus £11 postage used from US, my price £15 plus postage SOLD

....or £150 plus postage gets you the whole lot.

Interesting read about the early years and names. Like many of the books I'm selling here I got this to review for Connected.

If you want any of them PM me. Thanks, Simon

Jon I’ve replied to your PM.

So there’s only the two Doug Boyce books and the Challenger/Dart manuals left. The Boyce books on Grumpy Jenkins and Quarter mile legends are good reads. The Quarter mile warriors is subtitled Then and Now because Boyce has researched some of the great pro stock, funny cars and doorslammers and tells you where they are now. Cars located include Sox & Martin duster, Dick Landys Dart, Ramchargers 230mph 72 Demon etc.

Surprised the 2 part 1970 Challenger/Dart service manual is still here.

Pm me if interested. Many thanks,

Simon
