Peter Brock says: "I
like all of Colin's books but I think he outdid himself with this latest which
is co-authored by Rick Kopec with a Foreword by Jim Farley (serious racer and
CEO of Ford Motor Company). I was immediately attracted to the high quality
photos, some of which I've never seen before. Especially all the great photos in the chapter on the Daytona Coupe. Weighing in at a hefty 3+ pounds
and a sizable 10” wide by 12.5” long and 1” thick, it’s a true bargain at $60."
