Found these in a box as I'm moving into my new desk/office here at the house.

I'll try to scan the articles later. Two of them are about the SSC. Got to hate subscriptions since they plaster the mailing lable on the cover.

Laughing at 80s shades mullet man...

Saleen87-65 · Nov 9, 2006

man, im glad i grew up in the 90's.

Jonsey · Nov 9, 2006

Mr. Bomb, if you want to sell the first mag I will buy it. I have the other two.

SVT Saleen · Nov 9, 2006

I have both of those first two issues in my Saleen collection but gave up on Hot Rod magazine back in 1975 when they tested a 455HO Trans Am against a deTomaso Pantera in a drag test.

Imagine a magazine conducting a drag test between a big block muscle car & a mid-engined European sports car & being taken seriously?!?

I'll always remember the money quote from that article as a classic example of a magazine's editorial staff being utterly shameless shills for a particular manufacturer & genre of vehicle; "At half the price, the Trans Am is twice the car."

Ah, where were we... :OT:

Thanks, Dot! A blast from the past.

Reminds me of when I was in high school plotting how to buy my first 5.0 (a used '89 that I got for $10k) and dreaming of Saleens (which I thought would never be within reach)...

I haven't decided if I'm going to keep them or not. If I decide to get rid of them I'll let you know.

I've had them since 1989. Might not be likely I get rid of them. Who knows I have another stack of mustang mags with california specials in them too. Can you tell what my two fav mustangs were in 1989?

Jonsey · Nov 9, 2006

Love the "big" hair on the girl.

dotbomb · Nov 9, 2006

Me too burrito, me too. I graduated HS in 1989 and had a GT/CS. I'd see the Saleens driving around all the time and lust over them in person, at shows, and in magazines.

I feel I got the best of both worlds right now. Classic retro styling and a Saleen. As Julie Andrews says at Disneyland... Dreams do come true

marcus95 · Nov 9, 2006

Great pics Bomb!

Wow, can't believe I lived through that even though I was a teenager.

saleen065 · Nov 10, 2006

shut up! You all make me feel old! (lol) I was 33 in 89!

Gosh George, You're old!
Hey Mr. Bomb, I'd love to buy that Mustang Monthly from Ya, Want to sell it? I have the Hot Rod Mag.

saleen065 · Nov 10, 2006

Thanks Randy for reminding me! (hahaha)

dotbomb · Nov 10, 2006

Yeah what the heck. I'll sell it. Jonsey gets Hot Rod and 89SSC18 gets the Mustang Monthly.

My price is a hardy "Thanks"

PM me with your addresses and I'll figure out the best way to ship these w/o much damage.

I'm still bummed they plastered my mailing label on the Mustang Monthly right on the pic. Maybe you can finesse it off.

Edit: Or Jonsey we could meet for the handoff. Whatever works. Might be easier to ship though. Pretty busy with "nesting" rituals around here (wife is due in Jan and the projects keep on piling up).

Jonsey · Nov 10, 2006

Thanks Mr. Bomb. What goes around comes around so I am sure I will be able to do something for you in the future too.

Congratulations on the baby!!! Super Bowl baby?

dotbomb · Nov 10, 2006

Yeah most likely. She's due Jan 9th but might be early. The first one was a week early. We just don't want it too early for the kid's sake of having a bday near Christmas.

Jonsey · Nov 10, 2006

My son's is December 18th and your right it takes away form x-mas. I have a daughter too. Make sure you invest in a high quality firearm for when she starts to date.

I have educated both my kids on the virtues of Mustangs. Of course, the battle is on for who gets the Saleen when I croak.

dotbomb · Nov 10, 2006

Oh by saying "she's due" I meant my wife. I've got one boy and one boy in the oven. My son already told me he wants a red viper (he's 3) and I must move my car out of the garage for him

Jonsey · Nov 10, 2006

lol. My daughter wanted a red Viper. I won't move my car.

saleen065 · Nov 11, 2006

January birthdays are cool. Of course I'm biased, mine is January 5th hehehe
