    Book is called “N.A.R.T A Concise History of the North American Racing Team 1957-1982”

    I eagerly waited for the book, which is a good book as far as covering their race cars, though the author keeps apologizing for SN confusion; which you get the impression was sometimes intentional by the Chinettis as far as entering in a race. But there was not a mention of the many Ferraris Lou Jr. had customized /rebodied in Italy; his fight with Ferrari over the rebodying back to race car bodywork; his sales of the restored cars in recent years in the tens of millions.
    So it's a book with a sotry about 7/8ths told well but I want to read the last eighth which will reveal
    how brilliant Lou Jr. is as a player on the Ferrari vintage car resale market.

    Or do the racing purists think anything that happened after the NART team stopped racing is not important? Like to hear an opinion on that.

    My review is on CarBuildindex.com

    I think we already have a thread....

    My take is that it covers the Racing Team activities, and none of the stuff after the racing stopped is included.
