My '71 340 Duster appeared in one of the MoPar mags back in the late 90s or early 2000s. If I remember correctly the article stated "39K original miles". It was an all original car.

All of my magazines, computer files and pics were lost in the Paradise Camp Fire in 2018. I sure would love it if someone here knows which MoPar mag, and what year it was.
The black hood treatment, as well as the side stripes were added by the next owner or two. Last I remember the car was in Illinois

Count me in.

I didn't get the cover of the May 2011 issue of Auto Enthusiast but had a couple pics and an article. Most people who read it thought Billy built my car but I'd already owned it for 12 years when we met.
:rofl:

This is going to take the OP’s idea off track- sorry but I will ask… how does one even get in the loop for being asked to be on a cover? Being in New England, we barely see that kind of coverage. Little to no tv coverage, we are truely the red headed step children of the car world. lol.

SN: awesome topic.
NH, here. So true. Such a short season.
 
My Valiant Station was featured in the 2/2017 issue of the STREET-MAGAZINE; one of only few US-Car magazines in Europa and especially in Germany - then, now discontinued - on five pages and the cover too. The text - of course in german - was very profound and full of of details not only considering my car but the 2nd Valiant generation in special. The pictures were taken at a professional shooting.

To my knowledge mine has never been in a mag but I know a couple of people that have A-bodies that should be in mags. One is a member here, @jimjimjimmy has a 70 Duster that is a real head turner and neck breaker. Another friend has a 65 Dart that is very nice and has won many trophy's at various shows.

Well, it is a car, so here we go. My brother and I built this abomination years ago and got it in Reader’s Rides in the February 2008 issue of 4 Wheel Drive and Off-Road! I think we used parts from 12-13 different vehicles and was all MOPAR except the antenna!! It still languishes behind my garage to this day!!

My 1970 Dart was photographed outside Garlit's museum during a stop on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2005, and I was briefly interviewed by the staff of HRM, but it never appeared to my knowledge.
 
Wow. So many great cars and amazing stories. Absolutely love the Superbird Pace Car, and 6.1L Barracuda Convertible Real Wing. Thanks for posting!
 
Slum dogging it on the snapshot page in HMM Musclepalooza.
Think it's worth a second or two?

Back in 1990 I sent in a picture and description and they put it in the magazine. But they stated it was black but its GG1 green, '68 color, and still has the same paint job on it today. At the time I had owned car for 10 years. Picture was from a car show me and wife attended before kids like a whole lifetime ago.

Cliff Gromer of Mopar Action with my Dart GT at the Mopar Nats. He took lots of photos and interviewed me for 20 minutes. We'll see if it ever shows up in the Magazine. He did pick it out of the show field as his pick for the Top 5 cars in attendance. It also took the top prize for A-Body Modified.
 
Found out that my car was in a magazine and on the cover of a car calendar.
Mine is the red one, the magazine was 1999, the calendar 2002, and the photo with the kites was yesterday.
