Muscle Car Barn Finds: Rusty Road Runners, Abandoned AMXs, Crusty Camaros and More!
Description
It’s no secret among car collectors and enthusiast that the pursuit of “lost” cars is what drives many gearheads. Finding an abandoned, restorable car is one of the most common dreams among collectors and a touchstone for the hobby. Top shows like the Pebble Beach Concours and Chicago’s Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals have added special classes devoted to original and barn find vehicles. Author and photographer Ryan Brutt is the “automotive archaeologist”, author of the CarsInBarns blog, and a monthly columnist for Hot Rod magazine. Brutt has selected his best muscle car images for Muscle Car Barn Finds. No searching the back roads required--just kick up your feet and begin your barn-finding adventure by turning the page. These old warriors aren’t dead, just resting. A drive in the country or through a small-town back street will reveal them lurking under tarps, hidden behind garage doors, stashed behind fences from prying eyes.

Another wonderful book by Ryan Brutt
At my request, my wife and children gave me this book as a present. This is Ryan's second book, and much like the first, I quickly read it cover to cover. Each car has a story to tell and Ryan does a wonderful job covering it with photos, history, and information about the car and owner.Keep up the great auto-archaeology work Ryan.

Great photography
Of course I looked at the pictures first, now with winter setting in I'll have the time to read the rest of it. The photos alone are worth the purchase and the stories are interesting.

Worth the read
Some really great stories wonderful photos. Only issue I have is some of the writing was not what I would consider book worthy. However that being said it's not a bad read at all. Also the author is a "car guy" not a professional writer. All in all a good book that I would recommend to anyone that loves hearing anything about cars.

Great muscle car reading
Genuinely interesting. It amazes me that these old muscle cars are still out there. To think all the cars in this book were once proud, powerful and somebody's new baby. And to see them like they are in this book. Kinda deep when you think about it.
