I love this magazine and just started getting it about 3 months back . It's nice to see Corvairs getting their long overdue recognition by the classic car universe . I think all 3 copies I have so far have mention and a pic of a Vair in fact. So did you notice the auction in the back of the mag on page 93 ? Couple of nice Vairs going up for auction and you can bid online once registered and approved . There is a very nice original 69 coupe in this auction as well as a green 65 convertible being auctioned . There are also some other very nice low mileage Chevy's for sale as well plus most of the equipment and other dealer stock too . I could really go for the 62 Impala with 9500 miles on it . There is a photo gallery link near the top of this page so you can see the stuff they've got :

I enjoy this magazine too, because it does regularly publish Corvair-related articles and other interesting classic car articles as well. I also discovered that by subscribing to the online website issue subscribers get both immediate online access to new issues (via email notification), and that each issue can be downloaded in Adobe Reader (.pdf) format. In addition, the subscription late last year allowed me access to their archive, which gave me free access to back issues through 2012 and 2011. I don't know if the printed edition subscription also allows you access to this online edition and archive.

I have scanned and extracted a few Corvair-related and other interesting classic car articles from Hemmings Classic Car and posted them here on the Corvair Forum to make Corvair enthusiasts aware of the magazine and encourage subscribing. Here are links to the other articles I have posted on the Corvair Forum...

The above Hemmings Classic Car article makes a reference to a previous article published by Hemmings Classic Car in June 2006 (#21) that profiled Clark's Corvair Parts. I located that article online and it is available to read at no cost at the following link:

Well , the auction is over . I registered so I could watch it live . The 69 coupe went for $3100 and the 65 convertible went for $4700 which both surprised me . The coupe was in very good condition whereas the ragtop was in need . Interesting to watch though .
