Stock Car Model Kit Encyclopedia and Price Guide
by Bill Coulter

- stock-car-encyc.jpg (20936 bytes)

Well-known model car journalist, Bill Coulter, has outdone himself with this book. If you build or collect stock car model kits, then this is your book. It includes a complete list of all stock car model kits ever produced, plus a current value price guide, for every scale from 1/16 to 1/25, 1/24, 1/32 & 1/43.

But it’s much more than a kit directory. Bill also shows you how to build accurate stock car models by kitbashing, modifying, scavenging, and using the latest aftermarket products. For 1/43 scale fans, Wayne Moyer provides a complete chapter on buiding and collecting, with a complete list and price guide.

There’s a 16 page color gallery section, featuring all types of well built stock cars and modifieds from every era, from some of the best builders around. You’ll also find a report on stock car museums that feature model cars, a chapter on how to find good reference material, an aftermarket products chapter, and a history of the industry that makes great reading. Bill has really done his homework for this 208 page book that includes hundreds of black and white photos, along with the color gallery. This is the best, most complete book ever produced on the subject, from an author who really knows his stuff.
