He was great, but also infamous for an April 1973 glitch in High Performance Cars cover announcement:

Yeah
I remember that....
But in defense of Joe, Pontiac did advertise that SD455 in that car....
Just saying....
RIP Joe!

What other mags was he in? Car Craft, HotRod. I remember seeing his name more than a couple times, he was pretty darn good.

Rip. Does that Camaro look awfully high to anybody else?

Best car mag of all time. I actually still have my copy of that issue. Had an article about all the street action that was a staple to my weekends back in the day. (Connecting highway, laurel hill, cross bay, conduit, etc. Etc. ) He and Roger Huntington were the tops in my opinion. R.I.P. Joe, and thank you for being a part of my youth.
