Default Latest Aussie Muscle Car Magazine?
Im in the middle of a 2 year subscription with AMC and haven't received one for a while. Last issue I have is number 42 with Big Pete's Mustang on the cover.
Is the next issue out yet? I'd go to the newsagent and have a look, but I'm working 12 hour days all week, leaving home at 4:30am and returning at 7:30pm. Makes it impossible to ring Chevron Publishing too!

Oh well, I don't mind missing that one!

Thanks Louise, I will chase it up somehow, maybe an email to Chevron will help.

#43 has been out a little while now, should be another soon.
Edit: Woops, looks like I was a bit slow.

Thanks for the replies. Emailed Chevron last night and got a reply today. The mag was sent, but must have been lost by Aussie Post.
They are sending out another copy for me. Can't complain about that for customer service!

That was an interesting read. A lot of money invested by Holden for only two seasons of racing.

No wonder Group A failed.

I'm missing the first 4 and the Cobra / DJ Greens Tuf editions (6 in total) but I don't think I'll ever see myself with a complete set due to the fact that people are asking absolutely stupid prices (My Opinion) for the early ones. Maybe Chevron may reproduce them again some time (I'd pay $10-15 each for a repro edition but not 60-100 for each one on Ebay)

Check the Chevron sight for back issues, I think they still have the DJ Greens Tuf on there, thats where I got mine from. Should cost about $12 but they cant guarantee the quality as they are copies that newsagents have returned. Though mine was in pretty good condition.

Agreed, I do like Hemmings Muscle Machines, an American Magazine that is similar.

Great Mag,
My subscription had come to an end without me realising, (last time it was about to end they sent me a notification to re-new). I emailed them asking if my subscription had ended, turns out it had finished at issue 42, but they sent me a free copy of issue 43. Great customer service!

Love this mag. I'm only missing the Bob Jane Camaro, Moffat Mustang and Bourke Special issues.
No. 43 is a great read too, whether your a Holden or Ford man.

From stateside I get Muscle Car Review. Great publication.

I just wonder though, I keep hearing through the grapevine that there are a few people out there
with a massive hate-on for AMC. What's the deal?

Cheers buddy - I'll give them a go (to be honest I didn't even think of that)

Love AMC Mag, slowly but surely educating me on racing before my time.

Its the only motoring magazine that I buy these days. the articles are full of interesting and informative articles including the road tests which tells everything as it is, with no exagerations like the other magazines.

I must have nearly all issues except for the first few, before I discovered it.
