Got a nice surprise yesterday, a representative from Mopar was kind enough to send me a package with a few copies of the latest issues of Mopar magazine. Lo & behold my car is pictured in the Finish Line section with a write-up.  :icon_smile_big:
This magazine is published by Mopar & distributed to dealers.
I was also informed by Mopar my Charger will be featured in the latest Mopar Nation magazine, another one put out by Mopar. The dealers in my area all don't carry it, so if anyone happens to come across a copy please let me know.

Thanks all for the very nice comments.  :cheers:
It's pretty cool to see your own car pictured in a magazine but when it's put out by Mopar themselves, well, then it feels a little bit different.  :yesnod:

Ghoste, I would think they are distributed to Canadian dealers. I've spoken with one of the other Top Eliminator winners Miles Watsko who is from Canada, and he has the issue of Mopar with him in it.

Congrats Bill :2thumbs: I just picked up the new Winter addition of Mopar Nation for you the other day, But did not see your car in it? LEON.

Right on.  I think purple Chargers are about the coolest rig on the road.

Top Eliminator, what's that?  Is that what you won?  Why am I not surprised!   ;)  I'm sure you heard all the praise you can take.  How 'bout this.  Just imagine me nodding my head up once.  I seen some New Yockars do it on a TV show once for a job well done.   :rofl: :2thumbs:

We used to get the magazine right after we bought our new truck.  There was always a classic section.  For whatever reason we don't get it anymore, of course that was '99.
I'll have to email my Mom & have her grab as many copies as possible & find out why I don't get it anymore.

Yeah, ol' Mr. Bolig sure screwed the pooch with this.  He could have scooped you a long time ago when I contacted him.   :eyes:

Thanks again all, it truly is nice to hear.  :cheers:

Leon, I just got word from Mopar that my car may or may not make the cut for the final issue this year of Mopar Nation. I'm waiting to hear back, perhaps it will be in the following or upcoming issue. I'm looking for the current issue as I'd like to see it anyway.  :yesnod:

Mike, thanks. Your plum Charger is BEAUTIFUL!  :drool5:
Top Eliminator is described by Mopar as: "Mopar's 2013 "Top Eliminator" program, the long-running customized and performance vehicle program that highlights passionate and dedicated Mopar enthusiasts who display unmatched skill in modifying or preserving a classic or modern-day Mopar vehicle..."
"Candidates were judged by a panel of Mopar representatives on a number of criteria, including Mopar content, restoration and customization efforts, overall appearance and additional benchmarks."

I didn't enter anything, and I wasn't in "competition" against anyone or any other car. Mopar selected my car at Carlisle to receive this. As part of it they also featured it at the Mopar display at this year's Woodward Dream Cruise:

Truly appreciate the nod to Mr. Bolig, but yeah I never heard from him.  :lol:   :2thumbs:
