Item Details
- Seller: srodgrg
- Location: Orange County, CA, 92603
- Lot #: M-0031609
Available for auction is a 55+ Year Collection of Road & Track, plus select Sports Car Graphics.
This library of Road & Track magazines was collected by the seller as a continual subscriber since 1966. It comprises issues published between May 1966 and December 2020, plus select issues from 1962 and 1965. The collection also includes issues of Sports Car Graphic from May 1966 to the end of its publication in 1971, plus select issues from 1962. The publisher produced several issues commemorating R&T magazine’s longevity, and the collection includes editions published for the 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, and 50th anniversaries. Years 1988-91 are stored in R&T binders, plus there are three more binders not used. All binders can be used for any year.
Former race car drivers often contributed material, including Paul Frère, Sam Posey, and Formula One champion Phil Hill. Other notable contributors include Henry N. Manney III, Peter Egan, McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray, and car executive Bob Lutz. In August 2020, the magazine transitioned to bi-monthly publishing and dropped the use of the full “Road & Track” title. In addition to the title change, the magazine design was relaunched in a minimalist style, and offered new subscription packages ranging from $75 per year to almost $1000. Prior to the relaunch, several key contributors left or were let go. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.

Thanks!

I bought 10-12 boxes, each about 20x12x12 (I think) and I believe that will hold all of them. LAX is about 45 miles from me.
@srodgrg how big of a box are we talking about? Im near LAX and this is tempting
It's a wonderful collection with historical significance for the auto industry and major auto racing of the past 6 decades!
I'll box them up, and can deliver a reasonable distance in Orange County, CA.
Thanks for looking!
