Vintage 70s 4x4 magazines

Gents I have been given a stash of 1970's 4x4 magazines and wanted to let folks know about the early days of off roading.

For example in front of me now I have the August '72 issue of OFF ROAD VEHICLES AND ADVENTURE.

The early Land Cruisers and Ramchargers and Broncos are regularly featured. This particular issue highlights the
"Stroppe" prepared Ford products that were raced in Baja.

James Garner (Maverick/Rockford Files) is one of the racers pictured on the front cover.

The advertisements are kind of fun to glance back at also-to see the models wearing skimpy attire-at least skimpy "back in the day".

Yes- I do realize many of you were not even born yet in the 70s....

If you care to see any of these issues-send me a real email address through this link. I have copied the pages to Adobe format so they can be viewed through email.

I will be attempting to sell the issues back to the major advertisers like WARN or D. Cepek-the few of that time period that still exist.

The first amount I collect will pay back the owner of the magazines-who was nice enough to just give them to me for free on craigslist . I don't take advantage of generosity in that manner-I feel a small token payment is the right thing to do.

Additional funds I raise will go to help "Mary" a Yota Tech member recently injured in a vehicle accident. I don't know Mary-but I would do same for any of you.

(Maybe not Thai though-he likes the Heeps-teasing ya dude)

Particularly if you like the early Fj40 Cruisers-these may be of interest to you.

If you are trying to find a specific issue tell me the date and title and I will see if I have it for you.

I made a similar offer to Rising Sun 4WD club here in metro area but does not appear to be much interest or folks are occupied with the holidays.

I am having a lot of fun looking through these-I just finished an article last night about Celebrity Off Road Racing with Schwarzenegger/Smothers Brothers/Redd Foxx/Martin Milner, etc....Apparently it was filmed by NBC and though I would have been in my teens then I do not recall it....

Do ya think Arnold's CA staff would want a copy of a photo of him rolling a Jeep? Let's see.....
