16 NIGHT OF THE LIVING DART---It's spooky, it's kooky. It's our post-Halloween tale of a departed and decomposed A-body rising out of its tomb of mud to roam the earth hunting down hapless Chevys, Fords and Toyotas. You'll go to sleep with the lights on after reading this one if the story itself doesn't put you to sleep first.
MONUMENTAL MOPES
14 DRIVING MISS DEMON---What do you do when you have the world's fastest Demon? Simple!--make it go even faster. And that's what Speedkore/Gearhead Fabrications did. Plus, putting Top Fuel champ Leah Pritchett behind the wheel didn't hurt either. See how it all went down.
22 MAXIEMAN---Here's the staggering saga of Mike Zagata who received a brand new '62 Max Wedge Dart for his birthday, ran it as his daily driver, raced it and then was awarded factory sponsorship for his drag strip success. A parallel storyline traces Mike's latest Max Wedge's salty history to its Bonneville roots.
38 GAME CHANGER---The absolute ultimate Charger? Could well be if you could take the vintage iron and propel it into 2020. That's exactly what the Mo'fiends at SixTwelve Autoworx did, not by dropping performance goodies into the classic chassis but swapping tweaked '69 Charger carbon fiber body panels onto a fresh OE Challenger Hellcat It makes for one hellauva ride.
50 PURPLE PAVEMENT EATER---Can a rusty 1970 318 Challenger find new life as a rusty 6.4L Hemi cruiser? No. That's 'cause Jeff Richey fixes the body and the driveline both in this incredible tale of homemade heroes. Hey, would we make this stuff up? Us?
74 DOC'S ORDERS---So you're from Miami, go to the big auto show, and see one of 5 specialty-built factory show '69 Hemi Coronet R/Ts without air conditioning-you talk 'em into selling it to you, but you want the car delivered chilled. Here's a doctor who managed to do just that. Find out how, and then follow the Hemi's toe-curling history after it made its last house call.
TANTALIZING TECH
44 LA-LA LAND 2---We get down and dirty in this installment of our lightweight 408 stroker buildup. We spec a cam, install the heads and show you some valvetrain tweaking tips. Then we get cleaned up and go out for a beer or two. Next issue we'll compare all 6 craft brews that we sampled on our company expense account.
64 MIXER FIXER---Got a Carter or Mopar carb that's giving you fits? Our tech ed puts on his glasses and breaks out his jackhammer and prybars to show you how to restore and rebuild those suckers. Plus, he throws in a little history and anecdotes on these mixers at no extra charge. And, if you want to bring your carb up to world-class show standards, we show you how Harms Automotive does it-even if you can't.
FORMIDABLE FEATURES
30 COOL KEYSTONE CAPERS---The Chrysler Nats at Carlisle, broke all records (again). Check out our complete coverage by our caffeinated staff to see why.
60 DRAGGIN' DAYS IN DODGE CITY---More complete coverage-this time of the Dodge Hemi Challenge and all the NHRA action at Indy. Yeah, we'll spoil it for you, Barton and that Daniels kid won it all again. Ho-hum.

BEEPER3-INSTALLMENT 8
80 3800 MILES COAST TO COAST---Intrepid duo Rick Ebooger and Brian Dowell embark on their epic voyage in their slapped-together 6-Pack Road Runner to tempt fate as they head out to points west. Rick thought he had found a shortcut from NY to San Fran that showed a total of just 645 miles, which he figured they could make in a day. He later found out that he was using a wagon train map from 1803 which wasn't all that accurate, but they did reach the epic 1/4-center of the world. Really. Only in America! Only in Mopar Action! Only when we feel like it!
