Black Magic — Monster 528ci Ray Barton Hemi B-body Mopar Mopar lovers, this one's for you! The '69 Dodge Coronet, pure American muscle with a monster 528ci Hemi, graces the cover of this issue. What's not to love about it? It’;s accompanied by a genuine BT-1 VL Commodore — one of four in the country — and a ’55 Cadi that has a very interesting back story on its origins. We also have two other rad cars for you this issue as well, one being a very well-built, pro-charged ’84 C10 Custom Deluxe, and a ’66 V10-powered Mercury Colony Park. We've got a lot of muscle mayhem events for you also. We head across the ditch to Summernats 36, where Hayden Wilby gets the lowdown on our four Pro burnout cars that entered and also shares some Summernats trip tips for having the best experience when attending. Back home down south, Rod gets us the scoop on the annual Muscle Car Madness event held in Rangiora. The drag racing season is in full swing, and Todd keeps you all updated with Dragged Up, and Morice shares the last two months of drag racing excitement he's been up for team Aeroflow. There are a few new builds going on, and we have the latest in In the build on those as well. Simon takes you to the Landspeed New Zealand Association–sanctioned event in the back blocks of Reporoa, where cars clock speeds over 300kph to set land speed records — crazy stuff. We didn't stop there, though; we have a couple of special features, one being a Kindigit (Bitchin' Rides) shop tour, and a peek into the latest car museum in Upper Hutt / Wellington: Cars Inc.
