Default Next Edition of HMM...

This topic was posted by Dreemz recently. Looks like HMM will get into it a bit more:

Heads up!

The July issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines will feature Joe Oldham's recollections of the NYC street-racing scene
Here’s a heads up about a feature story in the July 2007 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines covering New York City’s street racing subculture in the 1960s. (It should be on newsstands shortly. Look for a blue 1968 Yenko Camaro on the cover.)
“Wild in the Streets” is longtime automotive journalist Joe Oldham’s account of New York City’s illegal drag racing scene in the 1960s. The story includes a smattering of vintage photos, as well as Oldham’s first-person account of the action, as told to our own Jim Donnelly.
If you like what you see in HMM, you might want to pick up Oldham’s book Muscle Car Confidential from MBI Publishing. In fact, it just so happens that a capsule review of the book also appears in the July ’07 issue of HMM. Look for that in the Speedobilia column on page 16.
- By Mike McNessor



P.S. Who's Yenko is on the cover?

I subscribe to HMM and enjoy it, the vintage racing pictures are always a favorite.

Street racing in NY in the early 70's was wild. I grew up outside the city. On the weekends in Spring Valley NY ( Rockland County ) about 25 miles north of the city was a shopping center called Shoppers Paradise. Cars would start arriving around 11 or so. Driven,trailed you name it. Cars would race on the NY State Thruway that exited from NJ. They would STOP traffic and race. Cars would line both sides Wild just Wild

Are you kidding me? It is STILL like that. check out www.smallblockposse.com




The RS above is clean enough to be a show car. What a killer it is too.

Just got my HMM last night- I know the car on the cover really well, it is the 68 Yenko #8021 that I bought from Andy Wolff. That is the car prior to the resto I am literally just getting wrapped up this week. Hopefully I can get the 500 break in miles on the motor my engine guy wants to see before it hits the track at SCR-10!

A very pleasant suprise to see the car in the magazine.

Colin

I thought Andy Wolf was a previous owner of the giveaway car which was #8008?

I think #8021 was previously owned by Johnny Griffin in TN.

I assure you Andy Wolff owned #8021. I purchased the car from him in January 2007. It is the car in HMM. If you want to send me an email I'd be happy to send you back a scan of the COPO Connection paperwork in Andy's name from April of 2000 listing 8021 as his car. Johnny Griffin may have owned it in the past, all I know is Andy had the car for a long time and that is who I purchased it from. I don't have the list of the previous owners here with me today.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Colin

Congrats Colin...

I was surprised to read that information posted on here about one of Don's daughters being hired to apply stripes was a "myth". Hum....
