Did Hemmings Muscle become Popular Hot Rodding?

How about that speed demon 83 Trans Am. 175 horses, that a Muscle Machine right there.

I really wish they'd stop it with the 175 HP 1980's vehicles. I think a stock inline-6 Nova II had more power.

I actually thought the '83 Trans Am article was better than the black-primered Daytona. I really like the Aero wheels on the T/A and have never seen a set with the trim rings intact like that. Pontiac really put a lot of work into aerodynamics during that time period. In fact, I remember a particular full-page ad where the Trans Am was pictured but in the background was a giant .29 (or something close) touting how slick the car was. Cool stuff.

I actually like seeing cars people put thought and creativity into instead of constantly seeing factory stock cars. Nothing wrong with those ones as I enjoy seeing them too but I'd rather check out Mike's Daytona than a stock restored car anyday. Seeing a bunch of originally restored Camaros (just using Camaros as an example) gets kinda old after a while.

The focus of HMM is muscle cars. More over restored and original muscle cars. Flat black pro touring cars are not why I subscribed.

I agree that Camaros and HEMI anything get way too much print. Show us some hipo Fairlanes, early Cyclones, 67-69 442s, stuff like that. Cars that dont get print and we havent read about 10,000 times.

Hemmings has been in print for over 6 years, and Ive yet to see a 67-69 442 featured. Yet I read about 6 banger Maverick Grabbers, 79 Mustang Cobras, Lincoln Mark VIIs, and a friggin Hurst Jeepster. Thats my main beef.

Has anyone tried out the Radio restorer guy mentioned in the current HMM? My AM Delco is toast...literraly...I was looking at getting it fixed. And need a reputable repairman.
