This is not the book for me, unfortunately. I thought it would be a good book to read to connect with my dad,but, I ended up getting confused and wasn't interested. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I'm not much of a car person. I'm not much into racing either. My fiance is into racing, so I thought maybe this book might be a good introduction into her world. Unfortunately, this was not the book. It is very technical and talks more about the cars than about Dick Landy. It lost me and confused me. Someone who knows cars more than me might appreciate this book, but unfortunately it was out of my subject knowledge.Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. n the late 60's and 70's "Dandy" Dick Landy with his Mighty Mopars were well known name in the world of Pro & Super Stock.

" The cars and career of legendary drag racing driver ""Dandy"" Dick Landy take the spotlight in this book, which includes images from the Landy family,Äôs archive, personal stories and track results. Chrysler racing historian and author Geoff Stunkard presents this highly detailed account of the cars of Dick's career from piloting his first mount (a 1954 Ford pickup) through his historic years of campaigning Dodges. In addition to coverage of Dick's 1964 S/S Dodge and 1968 Hemi Dart, scarce information about his Ford Galaxies and Plymouth Savoy is included. One of the greatest innovators of his time, Dick Landy was one of those guys who made you rush back to your seat from the concessions stand so you could watch him navigate the 1320. Win, lose, or draw, watching one of Landy's Dodges battling the likes of Ronnie Sox, ""Grumpy"" Jenkins, or Hubert Platt was worth the price of admission alone. At no other time has Landy's entire career been chronicled and cataloged in print with this much attention to detail. Sit back in your recliner (wheels up) and enjoy the most comprehensive book on the history of ,ÄúDandy,Äù Dick Landy and his cars. " Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

In any case, this is a fine book that just about anyone would find interesting, with MOPAR and racing fans finding even more so. It basically walks forward through his career, with plenty of insight and personal accounts, both about Landy and his cars. The book itself is paperback with a perfect binding (glued) and stiff pictorial covers - I think it's one that I'd like better as a hardcover, but that doesn't detract from the read.
