Just subscribed to Muscle Machines. They have a special going right now - 12 issues for $12. Smokin' deal.
 
Thanks for the heads-up on the special. Hemmings Muscle Machines is in my opinion the best periodical on the shelf with regard to 60-80's muscle cars. They touch on eveything - it's cool to see the Pontiac Can Ams, later GTO's, 442's, Magnums and Miradas, all the cars from back in the day. Alot of guys think it all ended after '72 ..... that's a matter of opinion, and Hemming's opinion is there were still some cool cars after emissions regs and gas crunch. Maybe not the quickest cars (but who can touch today's muscle, anyway) - but there were still plenty I'd like to own (my old '76 slope-nosed Laguna was a pig, certainly not "muscle" in my book, but I wish I still had it, along with the 8 track and Boston tapes) It's the nostalgia that qualifies, and I get more nostalgic every year for "the good 'ol days", but I'm still just happy to be here ! I'll be taking advantage of the special - Car Craft (in-laws get me a subscription every Christmas) is a nearly a total waste unless you're your putting an LS motor in your older GM AND have alot of money (they're out of touch with the economy and where most hobbyists really are , surrounding themselves with mfg reps and free parts and service, whoopee). How'd I let myself carry on this long with my post ? Must be too much caffeine this AM.

i bought the issue. it was a good read, but they were not well informed to the 73/74 GTX badging option with the RR 440 cars. I did like that they put the total number of cars produced, but I am unable to verify those statistics.
 
that issue was already off the shelf and replace by the March issue around me. for 6 bucks Hemmings sent it to me in a few nice and quick.

It was shorter than I hoped.

When the muscle car era ended is up for debate.

My favorite years overal all are 67-74, with 68-72 something sweet from everyone.

Some say once smog started, the net hp rating, lowered compression, etc. etc.

It was different for different companies and different lines.

Peak was probably 70.
 
Agreed. Peak was 70. My 70 fav's: LS6 Chevelle, Buick GSX Skylark, 70-1/2 Trans-Am, Mach 1 Stang, and every Mopar! 74 was probably the last year for anything resembling a muscle car. The 75 Vette was a dog-assed piece of ****! And everything else was under it. 'Cept maybe a tweeked New Yorker!

They have good quality photos, my favorite is the racing history. Well worth the 12 bucks a year but it is a smaller mag then most. Ron
