American Muscle Car: The Complete Series

If you're interested in muscle cars or classic American cars, this 6-disc DVD set is for you! GTO's, 442's, Chevelles, Mustangs, Chargers, and more! Lots of burning rubber and throaty exhaust growls!This is the first three seasons of "American Muscle Car" - a series on SPEED channel and consists of 15 1/2 hours (Fifteen and a half hours of muscle cars! WOW!) of material on 6 discs. Each segment highlights a specific car or topic and is roughly 25 minutes long (the length of a 1/2-hour TV show without commercials). Each one focuses on a car's history, changes to the model over time, the engines, transmissions, options, etc. Each segment has excellent period video plus that of restored models. Lots of good views of all the cars, interiors and under hoods.This is a well-produced video series with good cinematography, decent soundtrack, interviews with experts, owners of restored cars and even some with men who designed or engineered these beauties! This is a good series that is fun to watch for the car buff - you will not be bored!Though most segments are about an individual model of car, some are about racing teams such as the "Ramchargers" or about the Hurst company, their contributions to racing and the special edition "Hurst" cars that were built. There were a few episodes that weren't "muscle cars" per se such as segments on the '55-57 Chevrolet Bel Air, the lettered Chrysler 300's and the Corvette...but I didn't mind and I don't think most viewers will either!This was a fun series and very enjoyable. There were segments on lesser known muscle cars such as the AMC "AMX" and the Dodge Dart GT and GTS as well as cars such as the Buick Regal GNX and Pontiac Super Duty Trans Am's that appeared after the muscle car era ended.This is a good, well-made, entertaining series that the car buff will like. Not only that, but you get 15 1/2 hours of cars for a little over $20! A great price for all you get! This is a must-have! Five stars!

I'm a student mechanic and I didn't live through the muscle car era. I bought this as a history class of some sort. I don't regret it! This set shows the history of every muscle car model plus engine specifications, torque, compression ratios, etc. It also talks about the car makers logic as to why they came up with the ideas (basically the biggest engine wins). I found very neat that you can go straight from the menu to the car you want to know more about. It compiles the best cars of that era starting with the GTO, COPO, Hemi Cuda, Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang, Nova, Olds 442, Buick GS, Corvette and even the Viper. It takes you back to the muscle car era that I didn't live and some will love to go back to. I'm glad I bought it and now I know what old timers talk about. If you are thinking of buying it and you are not sure, take my honest word as advice and don't waste time. Buy it! Also, this makes a great gift for any car enthusiast so plan to buy more than one.

nothing i didn't like

I had purchased this set for my husband, just because I believe he needed a pick me up. When he received it in the mail, he was surprised, not only for the gift, but what the gift was. My husband loves everything about Muscle Cars. He really enjoyed watching these DVD's and learning all the neat features and abundance of information they give on each vehicle. The one thing he really liked was that you could put the DVD in and pick which specific car you wanted to hear about from the menu. Totally awesome set. Ladies you can't go wrong with this set. Money well spent.

These videos are presented very professionally and are very interesting. However, I would have been more interested in shows about the more common Muscle Cars. Not everyone could buy a Chevelle SS 454. BUT, they could buy an SS 396 or 350. The 427 Fords, 428 and 429 Cobra Jet engines, 426 Hemis, and the 454 Chevys were not high sellers. People bought the Chevy small block 350, the Ford 289, the Mopar 383 or 440 and so on. These were the Muscle Car of the average buyer.

I highly recommend this DVD set to the muscle car enthusiast. These 6 DVDs are packed with not only great videos of muscle cars from the days but you'll also get great commentary about the history of those great cars. Someone complained about the videos being too loud, well I don't agree and what the heck these are muscle cars what would you expect? I only have one complaint and that would be I wish there were more videos of those classics.

I ran across these shows on youtube and liked what I saw. When I tried to figure out a gift for my Dad who seems to have all he wants or needs but, he has 2 '65 GTO's, 1 '67 Lemans, 2 46 Ford Business Coup Hotrods, a C6 Corvette and an '02 WS6 Trans Am and used to race an American Motors AMX when I was a kid... Well... this was surely a great gift for a dude like that. If you know one... get 'em this set. It's really good.

This was a TV series that aired on the Speed network. Each episode has a lot of great information. The title is misleading because it says complete series but there are other episodes not included in this set. I've looked on the web and have not yet seen another set or individual episodes.on DVD. I believe most of the episodes are included here. Maybe they should call this set The best of?? If you get this set and want the other episodes I believe they are downloadable online.

All about muscle cars

Excellent DVD if you are a fan or just interested in the American Muscle Car era. This TV series gives a detailed view of each car per episode along with plenty of restored car views and historical film footage. The only slight criticism is a small percentage of repeat footage every episode; don't worry it doesn't distract from the overall quality. We Brits were manufacturing the Morris Minor and at the same time the Yanks were manufacturing the Chevelle SS; we might have common language, but that's where it ends. Quote of the DVD, "The car gets 11 mpg if I take it easy". Get your hands on a Region Free DVD player and buy a copy.

Great product and fast shipping

One of the best series I have ever seen in my life. It really kicks up the feeling of nostalgia and the time in the 90s to 00s when there was a great restoration effort for muscle cars. I saw some short videos on YouTube and really enjoyed it. The quality on this DVD is a lot better so you'll see the cars in fine detail.

A must have for muscle car fans.
