Review
Mopar Max.com, March 1, 2007"If it isn't already part of your Mopar library maybe it should be...There are enough photos of one-owner cars to make it a resource you will turn to again and again when you need a peek at how things should look, especially under the hood."
Product Description
The B-body accounted for a wide range of Chrysler Corporation muscle cars of the sixties and seventies, including the Charger, Road Runner, Super Bee, Satellite, GTX, and Coronet R/T. These cars brought a great deal of character to the muscle car scene and continue to be extremely popular today, particularly with Mopar fans, some of the most rabid car enthusiasts there are. As an Original series title, this book will demonstrate the correct parts, finishes, options, and trim pieces for all the b-body cars of this era. The wide variety of engine options, from Hemi to Wedge to Ram, will be covered in detail, as will all the special editions that featured wild colors and unique bodywork-elements that were crucial to the mystique of these cars. The book will be filled with high-quality, detailed photos of cars that are either excellent originals or very accurate restorations.

Disappointing
29 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book is anything but a "restores guide" and contains very little information that cannot be obtained free via the internet.
I am in the process of restoring a 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T and wanted detailed information or at the least photos to help me with determining correct finishes and components. NOT IN THIS BOOK.
There were two pictures of my particular car and both were front quarter shots, one at a distance, and one showing the front grill.
The text reads more like an overview of the history of different B-body models that was compiled from factory ads than from a restorer's perspective. Even the production numbers were not broken down to reflect particular engine/transmission packages.
All in all I was extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with this book.

Not up to "Original" standard
20 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
As an owner of two 68 Plymouths I expected a bit more restoration details about the Plymouth "B" bodys. The book seems to be more aimed toward the Dodge bodied cars and did not address as muck detail as I expected. I expected more information about the mechanical and electrical detailing of the cars, which would be common between the two makes. All in all the book is "OK", but not up to what I have come to expect from the "Original" series. This is the 6th "Original" series book I have purchased covering my cars, so my review is not meant to say this book is not what it is meant to be, but compared to my other "Original" books, this one did not meet my expectations. But if you are also a Mopar fanatic it is worth adding to your library.
