I'm helping my dad move out of his house and he has a bunch of Hemmings Classic Cars and pretty much every issue of Collectible Automobile Magazines he's like to get rid of. He'd take a few bucks for them but would rather have someone else enjoy them instead of them going to the recycling yard. You can pick them up in the Denver CO area (Littleton/Centennial) from March 30th-April 3rd and if no one in that area wants them I'll bring them to the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area sometime in the end of May/ beginning of June.
 
I own every issue of that magazine from Dec 2005 thru Dec 2021. I finally had to stop as I have every shelf of my "man cave" filled with them. I too have wondered what can I do with them. I have read all of them probably 2-3 or more times. My plan has always been to eventually donate them to local libraries. Those magazines are a gold mine for someone who loves old cars as much as I do. They often bring back such fine memories. I sold my last Chevelle around June/July of 2019 after owning it for about 14 years. I been getting itchy to own another one lately but my bank accounts are safe for now due to numerous health issues. If some magic happens and I can get back into it I been searching like heck for one of these. Rare 70s era cars just like my last Chevelles were made mostly for the NASCAR tracks with body purpose aero designed front ends. What I am looking at these days replaced the Chevelles in NASCAR once the Chevelle Type S3s were banned. Oldsmobile 442s that had aero designed front ends very similar to the S3 Chevelles. These special designed NASCAR Olds 442s also were only raced for a similar (3) years just like the Chevelle Laguna Type S3s were. The Hurst Olds special 442s are fine versions too but unobtainium priced as some usually are when it comes to classics.
