A brilliant blend of Shop Class as Soulcraft and The Orchid
Thief, Earl Swift's wise, funny, and captivating Auto Biography
follows an outlaw-genius auto mechanic as he painstakingly attempts
to restores a classic 1957 Chevy to its former glory--all while the
FBI and local law enforcement close in.
To Tommy Arney, the old cars at Moyock Muscle are archeological
artifacts, twentieth-century fossils that represent a place and a
people utterly devoted to the automobile and transformed by it. But
to his rural North Carolina town, they're not history; they're
junk. When Tommy acquires a rusted out wreck of an old Chevy and
promises to return it to a shiny, chromed work of American art, he
sees one last chance to salvage his respect, keep himself out of
jail, and save his business. But for this folk hero who is often on
the wrong side of the law, the odds of success are long, especially
when the FBI, local authorities, and the bank are closing in.
Written for motor heads and automotive novices alike, Auto
biography interweaves this improbable hero's journey with the story
of one iconic car to chart the rise, fall, and rebirth of the
American Dream. Told in words and eight pages of photos, this wise,
charming, and heartbreaking true story is an indelible portrait of
a man, a machine, and a nation on the road from a glorious past
into an unknown future.
