I love Muscle Car Review. I have every single issue including its first as Popular and Performance Car Review, collecting them all since I was 15 years old. It is my favourite Musclecar mag and I hope it stays around forever. But something in the latest issue boiled my blood and I just sent Drew Hardin an e-mail to let him know.

Arvid you do great work, but this month was a misstep. A big one. Five colour pages including two(!) spreads on a 318 Poly '66 Coronet does not belong in Musclecar Review. It isn't a musclecar, it never was one, and no matter how big the hemi you jam down in the engine compartment, it never will be. I was getting ready to read an article on a rescued, banged-up but original Hemi Coronet (wow!) and then realized this guy is writing about some 318 wreck he dragged from a boneyard surrounded by other Mopar mediocrity.

You did save a potentially nice car from the crusher - good on you. You could even give us a little half-page on it, with a pic of the crate hemi you purchased next to it. That's acceptable. But five(5) colour pages in a national magazine? Was Drew asleep? It's FILLER. And after all the shows and meets this summer there were plenty of cars that guys and girls worked hard to restore and find parts for - real cars, rare cars - that deserved to go in those five pages. Not your own car.

You came on here. I'm just giving you my two cents. Keep doing the great work you usually do, just don't do something like this again to "my" magazine. End of rant.
