I have a large collection of magazines. What dates do you need?

I had to kind of laugh when I saw this. I owned a business that dealt in automotive literature for over ten years known as Auto Know here in the Detroit area.

A large part of my business dealt in buying and selling back issue car magazines. I closed the business when I starrted working for Championship Auto Shows, Inc. but being the consummate collector, I never liquidated my inventory.

Bottom line; I have (literally) well over 100,000 car magazines, and many are right here in my basement sorted by make, month and year.

Although I do not currently have any "prime year" issues of SS/DI as I was always able to sell them as fast as I took them in, I do have thousands of other titles.

In addition, being the collector that I am...I have several thousand in my own "personal" collection.

If anyone is looking for a back issue, let me know. If you are a sYc member, I will offer any magazines in my inventory to you FREE if you cover the shipping or I will personally deliver them to the Vettefest shows or an Autorama or World of Wheels show if I am there.

BTW; if it is a "newer" issue of S/S, meaning late 70's or newer, I may have it.

Thanks/BA

SS&DI was the best. They were testing the ZL1 Camaros and Yenko 427s when no one else knew that they even existed. June, July, and August 1969 are the ones to get. When the new models came out in the fall, Saturday Evening Post had some great 2 page ads for the new cars. I have 40 years worth of magazines in our attic. I'll have to sort them out now that I am retiring. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Yeah, they are awesome indeed.

And speaking of Original Ads...that was the main part of the business and I have several hundred thousand of those too, filed by make/model/year. All kinds of muscle ads. See the Nickey site for a few that I supplied to Stefano and Jay.

Any "special requests?" I will deliver to Vettefest next weekend but need to know by Monday as I will be driving out in the company truck

Wow Bob...what an offer.

Too bad I can't remember which issue or which year....(81 I think?) of the Super Chevy and/or Car Craft that dealt with the Devonshire Downs show that my step brother sold his real Chevy crossram intake and blueprints at...it made it into the first few paragraphs of the article. I'd love to have that one...I inadvertently threw it away during a move...or at least I think that I did? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Bob, that is one he!! of an offer! I too collect magazines and have since the 70's but have NOWHERE near the inventory you have. That would be a sight to see! Wish I knew offhand which copies I am missing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Great offer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

I have a bunch that I bought from a fellow years ago, I loaded them in my car and nearly broke the suspension. Your collection must weigh tons......
Car Life is a good publication. See you at the Vettefest.

OK Bruce, decided to take a break from all my Vettefest work to go play in the basement for a while. Went through all the 81 Super Chevy's and dont see what you are looking for. Can you be more specific or maybe do you remember what was on the cover?

I have every 1981 issue of SC and every 81 issue of Car Craft, so it is probably in there somewhere. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I DID, however, find some "special presents" for Charlie and Dave C. and for someone with an Orange Yenko Camaro (formerly owned by Marc McCartney). Is there a member who owns this car now?

Also will be bringing one with a neat feature article on a Yenko Turbo Z.

Now....back to work. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
