Respected motorsport
journalist specialising in muscle cars, Steve Holmes, travelled up and down the
country to bring us this stunning full colour photographed hardback book filled with
quirky, personal stories of Mustang fanatics.
I was so impressed with this book, and the price, that I contacted the publisher to make sure they hadn't made a mistake. No they said, definitely $39.99. I would have picked $55-$60. What a bargain for all those petrol-heads out there.
Kiwi Mustangs shows why this show stopping muscle car
has drawn a crowd and been adored ever since it was first imported into New
Zealand.
The
Ford Mustang met with unprecedented popularity on its release in the US over 50
years ago, and nowhere is the marque more popular than in New Zealand.
Muscle
car supremo Steve Holmes introduces us to New Zealand-based Mustangs and
their owners, and profiles some of our country’s iconic Mustangs: the Sidchrome
Mustang, the PDL Mustangs, and the Fleetwood Motors Mustang.
