Automotive junkyards used to serve as sources for used auto parts, and any vehicle past its prime could very well end up there. Whether it had been damaged by collision or fire, or was simply so worn out it wasn't worth re-selling, the junkyard was the automotive graveyard for decades. Today's recycling centers have changed all that, but author Steve Magnante has gone to great length to seek out many old junkyards across America and find examples of classic muscle cars from all the great domestic manufacturers.
Enthusiasts see these cars as potential projects or parts sources, and while many have been picked clean, others are amazingly intact. Magnante also de-codes the vehicle trim tags or VIN numbers to determine how the cars were originally optioned, and shares some history of each make and model shown.
Part dream, part art, Rusted Muscle is like a fun and fascinating walk through the country's wrecking yards with an expert spotter.
