I recently received a newsletter from Haggerty Ins. Its kind of a little collector car magazine. Anyway they had an article that recommended several car books. One of them that I thought sounded interesting was " How To Keep Your Collector Car Alive" ( by Josh Malks ). While trying to research that book I discovered " How To Keep Your Muscle Car Alive " ( by Harvey White ). Anyone read either of these? They are both relatively new publications so there isn't much in the way of reviews. Wondering if they are just basic, common sense stuff? If they have a couple good tips or methods that I wasn't aware of or wouldn't have known about otherwise, they could be worth reading. What's the word?

"How To Keep Your Muscle Car Alive" (by Harvey White)

Product Description

Muscle cars were made to be driven, not entombed in a museum or show garage. The trouble is, classic muscle cars--those built between 1964 and 1974--are nearly half a century old and need a bit more maintenance and care than last year’s model. That’s where this book comes in. Drawing on decades of experience, Harvey White lays out the steps for keeping a muscle car alive, day after day, year after year. His book shows how an owner with a modicum of mechanical ability can do the basic repairs and maintenance to keep a muscle car on the road.

With clearly outlined and illustrated information on all major systems--including suspension, steering, & brakes; wheels & tires; engine; cooling; exhaust; fuel; ignition & electrical; transmission; rear axle & driveshaft; accessories; bodywork; interior & upholstery--this book puts the welfare of your muscle car into good hands: yours.
