Popular & Performance Car Review

Does anyone collect this magazine? I found out this evening that my L78 was on the cover of the November 1985 issue and I'd like to see it and/or purchase a copy. Can anyone help? Thanks,

Yep...it turned into Car Review then Muscle Car Review. I've got darn near every issue since it's conception in '84(?). Let me see what I got.

Yep! Wow, flashback...I'd have to dig through my 2300 magazines at my moms house (not doing it..she'd make me take em home). I forgot about that title...along w/ Autobuff and CARtoons and CARS Hi Performance (NY) of the same era. (I was 13...what'd ya expect!?) ...ok..there's some Hustler's in there too.

Hi Rob, That's great! Thanks for checking [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] All I know about the cover is that there is a shot of my Red L78 racing another red car and there are two other Red cars on the cover also (the old owner's wife's description [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] )

Actually it started out as Classic Sixties for it's first year, then changed to P & P Car Review. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

Mark, I got out that issue and it does appear to be your Camaro on the front. The pic really doesn't show much of your car though as it's about 2x3 in the upper right corner of the magazine cover and it shows your car coming off the line in the far lane against a 65 Goat in the near lane so most of the Camaro is covered up with GTO. I looked through the mag and there were no other pics of it. It was used as an ad for the "50 fastest muscle cars" article in this issue. But at least your car made the cover and did have a half a fender on that Goat off the line.. And as we all know it was at least 5 times that by the big end.

5 times? You mean 10 times don't you! Thanks for looking that up for me Ed and for checking the extra bin for me [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] Let me know what you find...I'd be happy to pay for any extras you might have [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
