Book Overview

Reviews: "Tom Cotter's sequel to last year's best-selling The Cobra in the Barn relays one great tale after another, with players unearthing rare cars to die for. The treasures include an armored Mercedes-Benz Aktion P command car discovered in pieces in Russia, a desirable Dodge Daytona Hemi virtually abandoned behind bushes in a guy's yard, a bushel of Bugattis in a barn, the 'Divorcee Cobra, ' and a GTO owned by a mobster. These are great stories...

Customer Reviews

Great bedside reading!

Interesting stories about interesting cars - their discovery and sometimes purchase (always helps to have lots of money and/or some good luck!) Great book to keep by the side of your bed and read just one story a night, though I have to admit it's hard to put down. If you're a vintage car nut of any kind, this is a "good read".

Tom Cotter does it again

"Cobra in the Barn" was so good that I worried this follow up might seem watered down, but if anything, the sequel is even better than the original. Tom Cotter deserves credit for creating not one but two of the finest automotive books ever written. Good work!

Great Read

If you enjoyed Cobra in the Barn then this book is for you. I enjoyed reading every page of it.

MOTORHEADS PAY ATTENTION

This is the most fun you'll ever have with a book. Now, go get "Cobra in a Barn" also.

Amazing!!!!!

Not being an avid reader, I was surprised to find both, "The Cobra in the Barn" & "The Hemi in the Barn", impossible to put down. Over the course of a week, (Cobra - 3 days, Hemi - 2 days) I read both books, cover to cover, and only wanted more!!! The perfect shot in the arm for anyone still hopeful of finding a long stashed away gem of automotive history peeking out of a old barn door or lying in a field, far off of the beaten path. Great job Mr. Cotter, anxiously awaiting the next books in this series!!!!
