Found a great new book at Barnes&Noble.
Entitled-"Super Stock-Drag Racing the family sedan" by Larry Davis. A nice 210 page hard cover book covering the super stock , stock and early AF/X cars. Absolute great pictures-most of which I have never seen. Has a lot of Jenkins,Strickler, Harrell,early 409s. Nice text coverage also.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to check it out. The '62-'67 Super Stock - A/FX era is probably my favorite period in factory hot rods and drag racing.

Just got my copy of the book. WOW. I haven't even started reading and I can already tell its going to be one of my favorites (and I have hundreds of car books). Its worth it just for the pictures, the detailed accurate text is just a bonus. A/FX, Thunderbolts, Z-11's all the way through big block Camaros circa '68/'69. You can find it cheapest at amazon.com, a little more at barnesandnoble.com. Or a full 40 bucks at the store. Get it! You won't be disappointed if you like that era of cars and drag racing.

What a good book!! Even has two of the three '63 Nova Fastbacks built by Bill Thomas. Good stuff on Dick Harrell and the Grump.
