Beyond the famous Mustang versus Camaro rivalry, Steve Holmes uncovers the untold stories of the challengers that fought for glory during the peak of the SCCA Trans-Am series. This book is a deep dive into an era where "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" was the ultimate mantra for Detroit’s automakers.

Trans-Am Challengers chronicles the relentless pursuit of motorsport supremacy between 1966 and 1972. It highlights how manufacturers invested heavily in race-ready engineering, leading to the birth of legendary "homologation specials".

While Ford and Chevy took center stage, this work shines a light on the fierce competition from the Mercury Cougar, AMC Javelin (which claimed the championship in 1971-72 with Penske Racing), Dodge Challenger, and Plymouth 'Cuda.

Key Features:

The Underdogs and Icons: Detailed history of the cars that dared to challenge the Mustang and Camaro status quo.
Homologation Focus: Insight into the low-production street versions like the Boss 302, Z28, and Javelin Mark Donohue Edition.
International Perspective: Unique chapters exploring the Trans-Am influence abroad, featuring British Saloon Car Championship contenders and the powerful Australian Holden Monaros and Ford Falcons.
Rich Photography & Research: Packed with historical insights, technical specifications, and the human stories of the drivers and engineers who shaped American motorsport history.
