Awesome!
Hope to find this issue out here in Alberta and read all about it!
Nice to see that the real world still enjoys these cars and that they still are out there although put away again for another season in most parts.
Is Car Craft a pretty good contributer of the H-Body cars? ...seems like they have done a number of articles on our hobby. Bet lots of folks buy this issue and whenever obsolete models turn out like this.

What you see is all that's in the magazine about the car. It's just a section in the back that people send in info about their car and the mag will do a little blurb about it.
Hot Rod magazine has a section where they show their cover for the current month in the past. (20 years ago, 30 years ago, etc).
Last month they had the cover talking about Grumpy Jenkin's Vega.
There are occasionally H Body's in Car Craft and Hot Rod. Most of the pages are full of the traditional muscle cars.
Car Craft used to be jokingly referred to as Camaro Craft. (Including by Car Craft)

I went back and i was mistaken. It was actually Grumpy Jenkins Pro Stock Monza.
EDIT: Was looking a little online and saw the google preview for the book "Grumpy's Toys: The Authorized History of "Grumpy" Jenkins' Cars"
It's not the whole thing but still a lot of good pictures and sections you can read.
