Description
Contents: Long Live Musclecars (It’s true that most pre-’72 musclecars getting more expensive, but hot rodders and the aftermarket are ensuring that they will never die.), 5 Million Dollar Baby (Would you spend several million dollars for an old Plymouth? Bill Wiemann did, several times, and has the somewhat dubious honor of owning and selling the most valuable musclecars in history.) Hot Rod Garage – Painting The Goat (The guys in suits just told us we have to give away our project G-Force GTO, so we got busy and painted it in the scheme that Hot Rod readers voted for. It also got wheels and tires. You could end up owning it.), Portable Dragstrip (We put Telsa Electronic’s affordable little G-Tech RR gizmo to the test and it is surprisingly accurate. It’ll never replace the dragstrip, but is’t better than driving two hours to inhale dust in Palmdale.), Carb Thingy (Aeromotive’s new sensor ducks into the carburetor float bowl and reads how much fuel is present, which makes a big difference in the air/fuel ratio. This is one of those things that shows us things we never knew we didn’t know.), Budget Race Car (The last (for now anyway) installment on Matt’s Camaro-Mustang Challenger road race car. This month, he enters his first real race.), Blown ’05 Mustang (We’re there as JBA, Steeda, Vortech and SCT make a supercharger work, and work well, in an ’05 Mustang.) Feature Stories – Inside The Autorama (Is this the last of the indoor car shows? That’s debatable, but it’s top prize, the Rider Award, is what everyone is chasing.), Top Fuel Hot Rods (After long hours of wrenching on the world’s quickest hot rod, what do the crew members of Don Prudhomme’s Snake Racing team do? They wrench on their own hot rods.), Boy Racer (Ford’s Boy Racer spec Mustang race cars get delivered to the first customers and get dirty at Daytona. Here’s what happened.), Drag Week Dates (It’s official. Here are the dates, venues and rules for Hot Rod‘s Drag Week, the endurance event that counts.) Departments – Starting Line (You don’t need a muscle car to have fun.), Bench Racing (More old-timey drag racing photos.), Where It All Began (Mickey Thompson’s incendiary Pinto Funny Car.), Roddin’ at Random (The Hot Rod Supernats are back.), Test and Tune (Three pages of hot new parts and a test of Jesel’s new Gen III rockers.), Pit Stop (Marlan spreads the wealth this month with a variety of subjects.), Finish Line (On fire at 280 mph.)
