MCG and Mopar Action.  The other two I only buy if there is something in there worth having.

What does MCG stand for? What are the names of the other good MOPAR Magazines?

Mopar Collectors guide (MCG) #1 I also get Mopar Muscle and recently subscribed to Mopar enthusiast.  I think it is fairly new but the few issues I have read had some good articles and info.  The subscription was only $20 and included a T-Shirt at Monster Mopar.  The mag is a little thinner than MCG or MM probably due to a lot less advertisement at this time.  My preliminary verdict :2thumbs: I feel mopar action features to much knew stuff :Twocents:
1969 Dodge Charger 500 440/727
1970 Challenger convertible 340/727
1970 Plymouth Duster FM3
1974 Dodge Dart /6/904
1983 Plymouth Scamp GT 2.2 Auto
1950 Dodge Pilot house pick up

i get MCG and mopar muscle. mopar muscle is borderline to me, great tech articles, but the quality of writing sucks at times, and feels forced to fill pages.. MCG seems like they run out of room even with 200 pages. it's by far the best. i used to get mopar action, but it's super thin, and just didn't do anything for me. haven't read an issue of the new Mopar rag

MCG usually has some of the best Mopar-related content and great classifieds, but I am (at times) embarrased for it to be seen in my family's mailbox.  I wish Rob would keep the girlie content in girlie magazines, and car stuff in car magazines - including the advertisements.  For that reason alone, I'm letting my subscription to MCG expire.  It wasn't that bad 4 or 5 years ago when I subscribed, but the whole Mopars At The Mansion thing has caused their emphasis to change for the worse IMHO.  Rob has publicly belittled a few subscribers who have dared to express similar opinions, so I won't fool myself into thinking they have any interest in changing based on readership feedback.  That's just my opinion, and I know there are folks who don't see things the same way.

I do subscribe to Mopar Enthusiast, which seems like it's picking up a little steam.  I hope Greg Rager stays involved, as he's been around the Mopar scene a long time.

Geno, I understand what you are sying.  I am reluctant to have some MCG issues in my high school classroom for the same reasons.  As for as content I believe they are the best and with no small kids at home, I don't mind having them in the house.

I subscribe to MCG and Mopar Enth. magazines (both  :2thumbs:). I will buy a Mopar Monthly copy on the newstand (depending on the content).  I also subscribe to MCR (some mopars coverage, just renewed for $20 with free Car Craft that I will give to my Chevy buddy), Hemmings Musclecar (some mopar coverage, but critical in the auction area, got two years for $23) and Auto Restorer (they restored a 70 Charger over the span of two years, helpful hints but a bit pricy now at $37/year)......

I like MoPar Action and MCG. I buy Mopar Muscle at the kroger if there is something good in it. :2thumbs:

I also get Field & Stream. :coolgleamA:

IMO....none are worth subscribing to, most all marque magazine's just regurgitate the same material year after year. I have a sub to one magazine.....but it ain't a Mopar mag

mikesbbody

They are all worthy of a subscription imo i subscribe to all of them.

   I get what looks interesting and I have honked Mopar Actions horn in the past but the last few issues are so-so and the current one just plain sucks. I only bought it to keep my collection up to date but I think from now on I will just get it when it has something I need in it.

F--- MCG.  I don't mind hot checks on cars, I CAN"T STAND their conservative environmental/political commentary.  Keep the political crap in ipolitical magazines and car content in car magazines.  They lost my interest 5 years ago and I can't stand to even pick up an issue at the store to flip open the cover...   :fu:

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
      a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're

There is definetly a political slant, and any time someone writes in on something they don't like they get blasted, but even with that being said, they provide the best info out there.

Agreed, and I'd sooner put up with Rob Wolf's two page political column than Mopar Muscle having over half of each issue advertisements and most of the rest of the magazine little more than endorsements for those same advertisers.  Besides, whether he's right or wrong at least he keeps it related to the old car hobby and as out there as it gets, it doesn't hurt to have an opposite point of view on a lot of the environmental concerns if for no other reason than to encourage useful debate among other more rational people. :Twocents:

Mopar Action is my favorite and one of the few of the American muscle car magazines we can order overhere.
I like the way they write those articles. Sometimes too funny ;)

Exhaust bearings is slipped into a lot of articles. I laugh at each. ;)

I get all 3 (MA, MM, MCG). I used to prefer MCG but I hate the playboy cover crap, my wife & kids can see it. MCG has gone to garbage as far as I'm concerned. If I see another article on partying at the playboy mansion or Kenny Wayne Sheppard I'll barf. And I prefer to get my information on the environment from actual scientists, not some guy with mullet.

Ghoste

I hear you about the mullet, but he's just being a messenger.  No worse than the Sierra Club hippies on the other side of the coin imo.

Ok so the mopar mags are:
