1968 Shelby Mustang GT350, GT500 and GT500 KR: Muscle Cars In Detail No. 3

Growing up my Dad had a 1968 Shelby Mustang, it didn't look as beautiful as it should have but it sure sounded wonderful! I loved everything about this book, the text was well written with all the relevant information needed to understand this great car and the pictures were absolute perfection. Highly recommend!

My favorite car of all time is the Mustang! And this book is perfect for the Shelby Mustang enthusiast . This book is well written and gives so much detail about the Shelby Mustang. The pictures are beautiful and it's all in full color. You will not be disappointed in this book. I keep picking it up and just keep dreaming about wanting to own one of these cars. It is a perfect coffee table book. Or a great book for you to have in your car if you own one of these cars and show it at car shows. All I can say is you must get this book!

Greg Kolasa has written the absolute go to book for the 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350, GT500 and GT500 KR. The 1968 Shelby Mustang has reached Iconic stature. Mr. Kolasa skillfully explains why. First he explains Ford's efforts to bring muscle to the "Pony" car. To understand the '68, Kolasa provides a brief history of earlier models. The books has numerous expertly taken photos on every page. Simply put, they are beautiful just like the car. The text is well written and easy to follow. The book concludes with an appendix of production specifics. The result is a well written must have book for all Muscle Car enthusiasts.

Full faith in advertising: I received this book as part of the LibraryThing Early Reviewers giveaway.

A great book for classic muscle cars lovers, like my husband and I. This book is filled with amazing color photos and is jam packed with info. You could simply sit down and thumb through the pictures OR you could sit down and read it for the detailed info. So many other car books don't manage to do both of those things well. (We have one car book that has about 2,000 color pictures of the same car! There is no variety.) I especially found the appendices interesting with performance data, Production numbers and price, and even color swatches and VIN number explanation. A great book if you are looking to buy, or if you just enjoy looking.

I'm mostly familiar with CarTech's larger books. This is the first time I've been able to obtain and review one of their "In Detail" little paperbacks. Definitely not a coffee table book (that's not bad, just a description), this work focuses on a single year for a single car, the 1968 Shelby Mustang. This is definitely geared towards the collector and restorer of this car. Its major focus is on the body and paint job, secondarily on the power train and various options, and the weakest part is probably on the interior trim. The text is clear and the coverage is thorough. This wouldn't be something for those generally interested in Mustangs. Narrow subject coverage done well.

1968 Shelby Mustang GT350, GT500 and GT500 KR… by Greg Kolasa

I received this book for a review. I was very pleased with the book and found so many facts I had never known. I owned one of the first Mustangs so this book was of interest to me. I found the beautiful photographs added to the information and made this one book I could leave out for others to peruse at their leisure. This book covered all aspects of the Shelby Mustangs included price and options, decoded the vin numbers and even explained changes in colors of the vehicles.

Greg Kolasa, book on the 1968 Shelby Mustang and other mustang cars of that era was very well written and had an in depth knowledge of the topic. He goes into great detail about the diffrent parts of the car so that a novice can understand. I enjoyed this book and highly reccomend it. I have passed it on to others who enjoy this type of car and they were thrilled with it.
