Matt's notes:
+ Great pictures and photos, beautifully printed and an intersting read.
- Not a book you'll read again and again. On the pricy side, ideal for your Birthday/Christmas list!.
Overivew:
A fantastic in-depth look from concept to completion of the 2012 Boss 302 Mustang project. Covering the history and heritage of the original Boss including it's sucesses and failures in the 1969 and 1970 Tran-Am racing seasons; this book tells a great story and how the Ford management and engineering teams ressurected a modern-day Legend.
Donald Farr is a well known and respected author who had unparralleled access to the personnel and detail of how Ford designed, built, tested and validated their tribute to the iconic "Boss" name.
Warning: If you didn't want a 2012/2013 Boss 302 before reading this book, you certainly will afterwards!
