The Retro Mopar Muscle issue is on the magazine store racks, here's a quick look

 They've got the full story how this 1969 Barracuda, 340, 4 speed but upgraded to a 440 for drag racing and painted in the early 70's came to keep it's cool paint and get out of the barn it was stored in

Yup, it's worth the 6 bucks

Road Runner in 1969 running in the Baja 1000... if ever a better named car and race met, I can't think of it

I think this was the back page of Mopar Muscle

Ugly and not cool... a look that would be better left to cool hot rods, not ugly mid 70's Satellites

I've always disliked the 400 engine... just no place for it in a 383, 413, 426, 440 wedge big block line of respectable engines. Name one thing you can rescpect a 400 for... and the crowd goes silent

I've always liked the Flying Tigers Motif, but even a cool thing like the sharks grin can't make this ugly car better.

3 beautiful Mopars from the Mopar Alley at SEMA this year, a 1969 Coronet, a 1970 Challenger convertible, and a 1971 Barracuda Convertible, and all have a hemi

 The 71 Barracuda, possibly the finest choices of options available on a Mopar are on this "Make what you really want" example... the wing, the billboard engine callout, the gills, and the shaker hood scoop.

 awesome

 when building the car they wanted, they chose air conditioning (which I thin was never offered with a Hemi with the huge air filter housing, and the 1970 shifter...

 I guess they didn't want to call their Coronet a Super Bee, or preferred the new truck Rumble Bee stripe instead. Possible more the first idea, because they didn't add a Super Bee to the trunk lid, or the grill

Mopar is selling cool musclecar era parts once again!

 these were the cool diplay cases they had at SEMA this year

But this would be the ultimate  xmas gift for a 1970 Challenger owner that has everything else. Bitching display of the owners manual, service manual, and data book. Serious hint here Justacagal! a display case like this would be awesome, painted in your cars colors, to fit your owners manual, warranty booklet, service repair book, and maybe build sheet or something else. I'm not sayiong buy the one I photographed here, but use this as a start to make your own customized to your own Mopar. I love it!

And finally, I wanted to point out that they are very smart in using a variation of the bumble bee stripe from the Scat Pack cars on their publicity material. a thin black line to either side of the thick center stripe would be exactly what the bumble bee stripe on the Scat Pack cars around the trunk looks like, but htis is a good thing they are doing. No complaints

Cool things I learned n the Mopar area at SEMA this year... best rear axle for E bodies are B body axles, and bulldog paper clips are grreat for temp mud flap retainers

 I asked the owner how he fit such huge rear wheels... and he told me that a B Body axle is 2 or 4 (I can't recall which) inches less in length... and so with a leaf spring relocation kit of 2 inches, you can then fit these mongo Mickey Thompsons under the rear.. they are 30 X 12 inchers and on 15 inch rims

 At first I just noticed the clear plexiglass mud flaps and thought that they were a damn good idea

Then I noticed when taking a closer photo, that they are only temporary and held on with bulldog paper clips. Great idea!

great colors and scallops on this Mopar at the Long Beach Motorama

best looking dragster musclecar? A Superbird from Sox and Martin with a 440 6 pack hood scoop is the best mopar I can conceive of
