This version has a different picture on the cover. It's the same book shown but has a red full-size ford and a yellow mustang
from the back cover:
*In the years after World War Il Ford Motor Company
involvement in the field of performance seldom came in shades of gray. It was
either full bore or completely ignore." Fearsome Fords 1959-73 is
unabashedly about Ford's "full bore" efforts.
Total Performance wasn't a mere slogan at Ford, not with
specially engineered 427-equipped drag racing Fairlanes available to the
public, or factory Falcon Sprints running the Monte Carlo Rally-both episodes
wonderfully told in this remarkable book. And Ford was a force to be reckoned
with elsewhere. The Torino Talladega was a hit on the track and the street.
Fearsome Fords 1959-73 tells how Fords ran up an incredible string of
thirty-two straight NASCAR victories in the mid-sixties — a legacy of speed and
success inherited by Mercury Cyclones in the early seventies. Mustang, too,
proudly upheld Ford's honor by copping sales championships and Trans-Am racing
titles-both hard fought. Plus cars with the familiar blue oval appeared often
in the winner's circle at Indy. Le Mans and other famous tracks.
Full bore? Total performance? A fascinating book? You better
believe it!
With nearly 200 great photos, well-known auto writer Phil
Hall has also gathered extensive factual information and valuable data-this is
the complete chronicle of Ford's 1959-73 high-performance models. He has also
added commentary on the "fearsome" Ford models of the 1980s - the
Mustang and the smooth T-Bird.
It's all here Ford fans: the super engines, the exciting
victories, the fabulous models, the nifty performance kits and more, all in one
very-well-illustrated volume. If you love Fords, Falcons, Fairlanes, T-Birds,
Torinos.
Montegos, Mustangs, Cougars, Comets or Shelbys, then
Fearsome Fords 1959-73 is for you!
