Cars Illustrated - Volume 4 Number 1 (DIGITAL EDITION)

“8-Second Street Camaro Will Run Anybody for Anything”

In their second issue, Cars Illustrated clearly staked their turf in the automotive media as the go-to source for street racing action.  Their cover story profiled one of the most prolific (and potent) street racers of the time, and their tech feature (“Soup Opera”) went step-by-step on how to set up a low-buck street racer.  The editorial mix of classic musclecars with modern Detroit performance cars was starting to take shape. 

This is a 1:1 digital copy that will let you read Cars Illustrated - Volume 4, Number 1 on your phone, tablet, laptop, or home computer.
