Hello everyone. My name is Rich Truesdell and I was one contributor editors to Mopar Muscle which ceased publication a year ago this week. The last Mopar Muscle cover car was my story on the Campbell Auto Restorations pro-touring 1972 'Cuda.

While the magazine market for people like me is challenged here in the US, I still contribute to magazines in the UK and Europe and have just opened up a relationship with a magazine in of all places... China. So again, I'm casting about seeking publication-worthy cars.

I have two books coming out next Spring, Maximum Muscle (a book on the muscle cars of 1969 1/2 and 1970) and Hemi Under Glass, Bob Riggle's biography, coming in May. Both are available for pre-order on Amazon.

Right now I'm selling off my remaining author copies of my 2012 hardcover edition of Hurst Equipped, signed, for $50, including USPS Priority Mail. They make great gifts (or treat yourself).

Chapter 4 is the Bob Riggle chapter.

Chapter 7 is dedicated to the factory Hurst Mopar muscle cars.

If you would like to order a copy (I have one box left), send me a private message here so we can exchange email addresses, payment, and shipping info. I take PayPal (preferred) or all major credit cards through Square Payments. Orders in by December 17 will arrive on or before December 23.

Happy Holidays to everyone here.

Welcome to the site Rich from Michigan!
I miss getting my subscription and free t-shirt every year at the Mopar Nationals.
 
Glad to have more Mopar faithful and look forward to your contributions!
 
Isn't Mopar Muscle magazine still in publication? I've been a subscriber for many past years and I believe I'm still receiving it (as with the other Mopar Magazines (Mopar Action and MCG).

You believe you’re still receiving it???:lol:
 
March 2020 was the last issue. My story of the Campbell Auto Restorations '72 'Cuda was the final cover story.

If you would like to read the story, I have it archived here.

I want to thank the members of the forum, three in all, that have ordered copies of Hurst Equipped. It's greatly appreciated. If you would like to order a signed copy, either for yourself or as a gift, scroll up to the original post or email me direct.

Happy Holidays,
