review 1: I loved this book. Honestly, I opened it with no particular expectations -- the book was given to me, I'd never heard of it -- but I quickly found the story of the classic car and the outlaw restorer, both in need of complete overhauls and restoration, to be absolutely compelling. The portrayal of Tommy Arney, one of the great anti-hero heroes, is just captivating. You fall in love with and root for the guy, despite his thousands of obvious flaws and failures. Whether you're a car guy or gal or neither, this is a good story well told.
review 2: The dual biography of a car and a guy, both born in the fifties, and the separate paths they traveled until joining with each other. Great, true story of a guy who overcame a (putting it mildly) tough childhood, to beco... moreme a successful businessman, only to end up in federal prison at stories end, while the Chevy travels through its life as a suburban family hauler, then through a variety of colorful owners as it cycles into eventual rusted-out, non-running condition, and then finally restoration as a desirable classic car. Thoroughly enjoyed this, and recommend it! less
