A rare look inside one of the most extensive collections of muscle cars ever formed. Otis Chandler collected unique and extremely rare monster cars. Not enough to collect the everyday muscle cars, we are talking about cars like the Baldwin Motion Phase III Camaros and Corvettes, Yenkos, Hemis of all stripes, and 427 Cobras and Fairlanes. All with the immaculate detail that you would expect from a man with the resources as the publisher of the LA Times. More than 190 color photographs examine the brawny, monstrous engines, perfect interiors and unique details of these amazing cars. Author Leffingwell's extensive text and specification charts tell the history of the cars and their times.
