Mopar Muscle, Mopar Action, or other?

[Photon440]

Yep, I've bought parts from Rick Ehrenberg too. But then again, he is on eBay...

I have let my subscription lapse, but I got MCG for many years. I like the mag, but the editor and writer likes to slip unnecessary profanity into the articles and editorials.

 

[satman72]

I like all of them. I'll grab any Mopar mag just because it's a Mopar thing. We're a small community compared to the other two brands, so IMO, we need to support what we have. Of course, let them know what you like/what you don't like about the magazine.

Imagine if every Mopar enthusiast bought the magazines every month? How many of us are there? 1 million? 2 million? Imagine Mopar Muscle, Mopar Action, MCG, Chrysler Power... with those circulation figures.

EBoogher has never steered me wrong. Especially when it comes to brake upgrades to our rides. I have incorporated most of his recommendations into my 66 Chrysler 300, now gone, and my 66 Ply Satellite. Braking is fantastic and is the right way to go for the budget minded. His Tech and Resto Articles are some of the best out there. Yes he does have an eBay site but you can also deal directly with him through the Magazine and his email address. He does pop in now and then on that other MOPARTS site in the for Sale sections but for the most part I have only used his eBay site for things I need. Recently I got an eBay bill from him for a part that I never bid upon or bought. Seems someone hacked my eBay account. Changed up the required username and password and he was kind enough to cancel the purchase. Now if that doesn't tell you the kind of operation he is running then I don't know what it would be. Mopar Action is always the one Magazine I look forward to getting every other month. Mopar Muscle just plain "SUCKS" :icon_butt: uke:since Randy Bolig took over. No tech to speak of and 99% of that Rag is devoted to all the new cars and their upgrades. Layout sucks and the whole content has become a weak excuse for a Magazine...IMHO. Mopar Collector Guide? Used to get it but I have this complete disrespect and dislike for Rob Wolf. Small man with a over inflated ego. And his pontificating just grates at me so I dropped it. If I need a source for parts I will grab one to look at the ads for said item but for the most part I avoid it in favor of Hemmings...Just My 2 Cents...cr8crshr/Tuck

I guess I'm with satman72, I have subscriptions to MCG, CP, MA, MM and Popular Hot Rodding just to get a lot of different views and opinions. I guess I think knowledge = performance.

I agree. That's one of the big reasons I really like Budnicks' sig;

"Fill your library before you fill your garage".

That says it all.

I do, again get Mopar muscle and they aren't anything like years past but i need it, Hemmings Muscle Machines is a great mag and it has a Mopar in it every month, Its the cheaper out of both but a very good mag... Mopar action is great, but not enough each year for me to subscribe..

 

[snakeyes]

used to get most of them and others ,when I us to get almost twenty mags. a month I decided to cut back on most they started to be with to many adds ., now I only get a few and if I see one on the stand that might have some good material I`ll buy it ,I`m going to stop Street Rodder it`s no longer just about the old street rods ,even a lot of the other mags. have changed , still get Hemming's ,Auto Restorer and all my military vehicle collector mags.

 

[Meep-Meep]

I really like Mopar Action but can't really comment on the other MoPar rags. I also get Sports Car Market as a hold over from my Porsche days and Hemmings Muscle Machines. SCM posts all the auction results and has a good section called Legal Files and Hemmings does a great job overall with the vintage racing photos and Ray's tech article.

Thanks... I'd like to take full credit, but I got that from Mike Joy {NASCAR & other race Announcer/BJ Auction Commentary & all around Car expert}, says it on Barrett Jackson auction allot, I thought it was a great mantra & quote... I love car books just not too many car mag.'s now, so much is available online, it ain't worth storing them, wanted to pass it on, share the knowledge, let someone else enjoy them... I just recently gave away 3 stacks about 6'-7' tall, mostly to local schools, a neighborhood kid & a old buddy who collects some... I kind of wish I kept a few for special articles, but it was time to let go...

 

[old_skool]

I like all Mopar rags, but Mopar Collectors Guide has always been my favorite.

 

[sleepar]

These forums... I would like old ones from '90 back... There sales promotion litter now.

I get Hemmings Muscle Machines also. Great magazine at a great price. 99% cars and only 1% ads.

 

[barbee6043]

yes MA for sure as long as they have the E berger! MCG,? I took it for years since it first came out, quit it bout 8-10 yrs ago..... can't afford the pro touring stuff or a trip to the playboy club! like a guy said the other day, forget the restored stuff, get it running good and don't sweat the $6000 paing jobs!!!! MA for the best and only tech, has cars the average guy can relate, not just the over restored high end stuff.... LOL
just me....

 

[glassman]

Mopar Muscle asked me, Sled City Fiberglass, to donate a few parts to their Nostalgia S/S 64 Dodge that they were building. I thought it would be a good idea also. You know, a little advertizing never hurts. I really wasn't ready for the responce or the orders that that article generated for my company. The 64 Dodge molds have been busy since, and an up swing on all the other orders also. Thanks Mopar Muscle !

 

[747mopar]

I don't get any anymore, used to get MM but it went downhill with to many of the few pages wasted on modern Mopars. If I was to subscribe to another it would likely be Car Craft or something like that, the Mopar mags just suck with very little variety.

 

[WileE]

Doesn't everybody read Mopar mags, or car mags in general ? Reading, and literacy, is very important. By the way, who the heck is Shakespeare ?

 

[Rocketman]

Hands down, Mopar Action is THE source for all Mopar tech. Personally have spoken to & bought parts from Rick Ehrenberg
as well as given excellant leads on hard to find parts. He has a nationwide network of Mopar connections, knows who's the best at what they do & knows who blows smoke up your azzzzzz. I fully support his publication & encourouge real Mopar fans to as well. Here is a link to his on-line page.......................http://www.moparaction.com/

I just clicked your link, thanks, check back issues for 2014 and 2013. Is it just me or does there seem to be an abundance of Challengers- old and new, Cudas, new Chargers? Just sayin, every time I pick up a MM there is at least one B body car story or upgrade, and those are the only ones I like.

 

[Photon440]

I just clicked the link too, and checked the covers of the 2013 issues. All six of them show a B body on the cover, so there's a story each issue for us... For the four 2014 issues, three show a b body, and the other mentions a 1970 Charger.
