Product Description

Review

His stories of street racing and car testing really blew me away and kept me riveted the whole time. --Cruizin

If your idea of a dream job was to test the newest, most innovative and challenging muscle acrs of the 60's and 70's well, Joe Oldham, a legendary test driver, might be your idea of a lucky guy. In his memoir, Muscle Car Confidential: Confessions of a Muscle Car Test Driver, Joe Oldham reminiscences about testing some truly legendary and now highly-collectible muscle cars, including the 1976 Trans-Am 455 HO and the 1962 421 Super Duty Catalina. Obviously, it would be easy to just say how cool all this was, but Oldham's insight into the auto culture of the time is very interesting --Motorsport dot com

Author Joe Oldham brings a refreshing honesty to a chapter in automotive history that lacks it...a must-have for any muscle car fan --San Antonio Express


Product Description

Joe Oldham was the man who tested Muscle Cars when they were first produced, and his job was to beat the daylights out of them! He recounts this in a frank, open, tell-all account taken directly from notes made at the time for top car magazines: the 1970 Buick Gran Sport GSX was "the best handling muscle car we ever tested"; the '68 Plymouth Road Runner was "just a car that didn't run very well" - even with it' s 426 Hemi. Containing original photographs, many never seen before, this strips away the romance and reveals hard facts, performance numbers, a being-the-scenes close-up look at the Muscle car era and what made it the myth that still lives today. First hand accounts of Muscle cars are becoming rarer and rarer, this book is bound to appeal to the legion of fans who remember the past, and value the future of these cars both on the road and as collectibles.
