Car Craft magazine

[chargerrt]

Does anybody know a good place to get old copies of Car Craft magazine?  I've been looking for a decent copy of the Spetember 1971 issue for a while now, but I can't seem to find one (other than the one for $16 friggen dollars on eRippeopleoff).  Any help would be appreciated

Thanks John!  That's really cool (and a nice read), but I'm not sure if that has the entire article on it

It has the little CC  on the last page so I don't think anything is missing. Just wait and one will come up that is cheaper or you can pay the big money and just be done with it. I am looking for 6  hi performance cars magazines from 1965 and Jan 1966 for over a year with no luck on Evil-Bay.

Big money? Jeez, and people call me cheap. Just buy the friggin' magazine if you want it! Is there really a whole lot of difference between $7 and $15?

The quest for such information is why I have been working on a digital database library of vintage car magazines the past few years.  I wish I could get that done quickly, but I have been preoccupied with my disseration writing and job hunt.  I have always thought it would be cool to be able to convert car literature (defunct titles not in publication nowdays) into a digital form, so you don't have to worry if the paper might disintergrate on you.  Information like that should be avalible to all for free, just like in a real library.  That way you could place a cheap (older) laptop next to your car at a car show and people could look though information about your particular model and road tests from back in the day.  Particular articles (or whole magazines) could be saved to a CD or DVD, so you can customize each for a particular type of car.  I have been on the hunt for vintage Hi Performance Cars magazines to complete my 1964-1974 collection (85% done), but lack of time has put that on a side burner for now.  Hopefully, later in this year I can get something started on this project.  So, if you have any vintage car magazines, you might want to scan them in to help preserve the information (onto a DVD/CD) as you never know when a disaster might ruin your literature collection.........

Oh wow!  I didn't see the pages from the original 1971 article when I looked the first time!  You are currently my favorite person.

I think I have a right to be cheap...especially being in college and having to pay for a car

But is $7 going to kill you? If you're that close to the brink you should probably cancel your internet service, turn off the heat and lay in bed with the lights out praying they don't disconnect your telephone.

I think they sell back issues dont they? I know most of the car and guitar magazines I read sell back issues

Now why does everyone think I'm pissed off when I write this stuff? Sarcasm folks, sarcasm.

I have been on the hunt for vintage Hi Performance Cars magazines to complete my 1964-1974 collection (85% done), but lack of time has put that on a side burner for now.

I have been building a collection of Hot Rod, Car Craft, Popular Hot Rodding, Motor Trend & Hi Performance Cars from 1965 to 1972 for a few years. I have completed all but the six magazines as mentioned before that elude me. It is nice to have all the road tests, adds and build ups at your fingertips.

greenpigs-  Which issues are you missing?  If you let me know, I will look through my collection list and see if I have it.  If I do, I can scan it and give you a copy if you like......

I can check what I have too

I was just wondering. How much do you guys pay for new car-magazines? 16$ is less than what we pay for the latest edition of Popular Hot Rodding over here..
So 16$ for an almost 40 years old mag, is dirt cheap in my opinion..

But then again we also pay 9.5$ pr gallon for gas.

Thanks guys, but I would rather have the actual magazines.
