Title: WTB copies of R-Model Scoop Issues 1-8
Post by: 6s1640 on December 21, 2020, 03:34:27 AM

Hi all,

Does any one have copies of the R-Model Scoop they are willing to share? I was trading emails with Howard and he no longer has any copies that copies can be made from. He says "... the quality and half-live of the Scoops has faded away..." The paper they were printed on was not the best. I have access to issues 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. So I would only need copies of 4, 6 and 8. I enjoy reading about the R-models. I can imagine most of the info on the cars are now in the registries, but I'd still like to see if I can find some Scoops.

Thanks

Cory

Corrections:

Turns out there is no number 4, but two No. 3 publications. Also, no number 8 and number 7 was published in the Shelby American Spring 2010.

1st No. 3 - no date on cover, published 1985.

2nd No. 3 - date on cover February 1992. (Image attached in prior post.)

So, I am still looking for first No. 3 and No. 6.

Any help or leads would be appreciated.

Thanks

Cory

Nope, just some fortunate wannabees still have them thanks to Howard.
I prefer wannabee over "non-owning scum" as Rick put it ironically in his Pardee-article as the receipients of the additional copies:-)

Hi JBarela,

Yes, they are no longer available. There is a website still out there advertising for $20 you can get a full set. I did send Howard some $$, but then he emailed me right away telling me that the webpage was 20 years old and he was unable to removed because he forgot the password. I know how that can go. He is sending me back the $20.
