UNBRIDLED: The Passion, Performance & Politics Behind America's Favorite Pony Car

$99.99

This beautiful, full color, hardbound 12x9.5 coffee table book features a hand-wrapped hardcover affixed with unique blue endsheets that evoque a well-worn leather driver’s seat. Each copy is hand-packaged and autographed by the author prior to shipping. Boasting nearly 400 pages, more than 139,000 words, and over 900 photos - UNBRIDLED is the most comprehensive account of Mustang’s history ever told!

UNBRIDLED chronicles the inspiration, development, and production of each generation. It turns the spotlight on two limited-production models per generation, and highlights each era’s most memorable racing exploits. UNBRIDLED takes you beyond the boundaries of other books and examines the internal and external social, economic, and political factors that have shaped Mustang through the years. It employs vintage advertising and magazine reviews to establish how each model was marketed and received when new - and looks back from today’s perspective to compare and contrast how they’re viewed now in each generation’s “Retrospectively” section.

Bursting at its seams with hundreds of never-before-published photos provided by the most passionate Mustang owners from around the globe, UNBRIDLED displays and discusses more Ford, Shelby, Saleen, Roush, Steeda, RTR, Kenny Brown Performance, Shinoda, Solomon American, JBA Speedshop, ASC/McLaren, and other specialty manufacturer/tuner models than any previous book has ever even attempted. Beginning with a Foreword by Ford Performance’s John M. Clor and a Prelude by Mustang Times’ Donald Farr; UNBRIDLED concludes with an eye-opening interview with Edwin Krenz (Chief Engineer in charge of development of the S650 Mustang) and an Epilogue that, having thoroughly examined Mustang’s past, assesses how Mustang can not only survive - but thrive - as it gallops into an electrified future.

No, this book is not cheap. But it is the product of more than three years of painstaking research. It benefits greatly from multiple one-on-one interviews with those who’ve been directly involved in designing, building, marketing, and racing Mustang. And, patriotically, the author has made the very conscious choice to insist that it be 100% Made in U.S.A. Yes, outsourcing printing and production to China would have allowed a lower retail price - but we felt that (like the automobile itself) this hardbound, high-quality, collectible book should be a product made right here in these great United States of America.
