Allpar in the news, classifieds back in the forums

Our friend Rusty Blackwell’s article in Automobile magazine appears in the December issue (pages 134-135). Rusty has on article on the Dodge L’il Red Truck, and he was kind enough to cite Allpar. The issue (”Mean vs. Green” on the cover) should be available at news-stands soon (I checked two groceries with no luck this weekend, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t posted just after I left).

I was also happy to see that Andy Hajenski came through and not only credited Allpar with providing information for the Mopar muscle issue of Street Car and Bike Magazine (yes, it’s a German-language magazine with an English name – and English captions on the front cover!), but also sent me a copy from Germany. I didn’t understand much of the articles, being in German and all, but they looked good and the photography was excellent. If you happen to be in Germany and read German, pick it up at the news-stand! I’m pretty impressed by what I saw. This didn’t seem to be the usual dismissive-and-horribly-inaccurate, “American muscle like the popular best-selling Plymouth GTX and the hot, high-power 3.7 Liter Volare” type of article, and I know that Andy spent a lot of time on research and finding appropriate photography – including rare photos of the Charger concepts.

We may have a third sighting soon – we’ll post the URL if it happens, right back in this article (check back tomorrow?).

By the way, the Allpar classifieds system has gone from one program to another, but both were unsatisfactory and the second one was very heavily spammed, so we’ve reverted to the successful “swap meet” forum sections. Those seem to work well, though the forums aren’t really designed for that sort of thing. I just thought you should know. The menu systems have been changed and there’s an automatic redirect so http://www.allpar.com/class/ now goes to the appropriate forum section. If you haven’t registered for the forums yet – now is a good time.
