Hot Rod - September 1971

[Shakey]

I have a pretty decent collection of automotive magazines from 1967 thru 1974.  All the Car & Driver new car issues and road tests etc. are in these publications.  Some really cool stuff that I acquired about 20 years ago.  They are, as far as condition goes, I'd say about 8 - 9 out of a possible 10.  They are really cool to flip through, read the articles and of course all of the original ads.

To make a long story short I just happen to have a copy of the September 1971 issue of Hot Rod at my desk and had some time this morning to scan a few pages. 

I figured some of you folks would appreciate some of the photos/articles below.

Conversation starters if you will!

I recall this dragster as a kid but can't recall the last time I saw a photo of it.

I found something very interesting in the very first page I posted - '72 Performers.

Anyone want to guess what it is?

The mention of 440-6 pack Charger?

The mention of 440-6 pack Charger?

I recall a debate here on this site a while back as to whether or not it was available.  Certainly not trying to stir that up again, just sayin'!

I recall hearing the 440-6's were axed very early in the year.

The 4-speed was an option on the Demon, i thought back then manual trannys were standard issue and automatics were the optional tranny?.

Partly right, the manual THREE speed was the base trans with four and auto's as the optional boxes.
