I just received my September issue of Classic Motorsports magazine. I am a recent subscriber, and if you haven't seen this publication, it is well worth the $19.95 one-year subscription price. If you pony up for three years, it will only cost $49.95, and they'll throw in a t-shirt. If you don't like it, they'll give you your money back. It is oriented toward historic road racing and has a lot of features including news from HSR / SVRA; restoration tips; reports of shows, races, events; a classified section filled with cars I'd love to own and cover to cover pictures of wonderful cars. The current September issue has 154 pages and includes interesting commentary on the impact of eBay on automotive swap meets and two feature articles on kit cars or as I like to refer to them - "tribute cars".
One article titled "Replica vs. Real" is a very well written comparison test of an original 427 Cobra and an 11 year old Superformance 427 Cobra replica. In the end, the author, Tim Suddard leaves it to the reader to decide what is best for him (or her), but leading up to the conclusion, Suddard does an excellent job of presenting both the pros and cons of owning the genuine article or a tribute version.
A second article in this issue is devoted to tribute cars and gives data on 14 replica manufacturers including pricing and contact information. This second articles included pictures of our red Grand Sport Tribute coupe taken at Road Atlanta.
Happy Motoring,
Richard
