hemi C500 article

Hey guys.  I'm not trying to boast, just letting you know.  The July issue of Musclecar Power has a nice 8 page article on my car.  Nice pictures and pretty darn accurate info.  If you are at the store  take a look, it has a new Challenger SRT doing a burnout on the front cover.  Sorry, no scanner or I would scan it for you and post.  At least our cars are getting some ink, Carl's beautifull hemi C500 will be in Mopar Action shortly( among others probably) so at least the "forgotten" aero car is getting some recognition.

Thanks for the heads up, looking forward to seeing the article. Will be checking all of the news stands around here for it all day tomorrow.

Where have I seen this car before?  :shruggy:  Oh yeah, my front yard about 25-27 years ago. :brickwall:

I wish it still had the n50-15's on it with the slots like it was when you had it :yesnod:
Then it would be COOL!! instead of looking like an old-man's car!

If I can get out at lunch today, I'm buying the magazine.  Of course, I should just spend the magazine money on gas, and drive out to see it again. :lol:

Chris.. Congrad's............... now, go get a nice set of 15x7 magnums for the front and 15x8's for the rear and put some 255 and 275 meats under her... The look is incredible, looks great on Dana....  Keep those for those "OEM" shows..................

Okay so I hit 10 different news stands today, but no one had the issue. Then again it might not have been sent to this area yet. Some magazines hit here late, others get here early. Will keeping looking for it though.

Thanks for the compliment.  I wanted to see my car next to Carl's at the Mopars at the strip show in Vegas, but once agan things didn't go as planned.  I was going to drive the car up in the Mopar cruise from Phx to Vegas, but trying to work on two cars resulted in me not getting either ready :'(
Some day I'll get it together.

I'm guilty of the same thing........ All my Mopar buddies rag on me for tinkering on Dana before a major show.................. I always come through, but I'm only working on one car...........

4 stops to find the magazine.  Good article,  nice pictures.  Chris, how often do you make it to the Pavilions?  I just may have to drive out some weekend to see the old beast.  Called my brother and told him to pick up a copy of the magazine.

Bruce,
Now that it's starting to heat up I probably won't be out in the cars until October or so.  The way gas is going that should give you enough time to save up so you can drive from end of Phx to the other :'(
