My name is Kevin Shaw, and together with the help, love and support of my family, launched Mopar Connection Magazine to honor the legendary muscle cars of the ‘60s and ’70s and today’s modern machines.
Since first launching in January of 2016, Mopar Connection Magazine has become the fastest-growing digital magazine for MOPAR enthusiasts – and is the only digital publication of its type to be recognized and officially licensed through MOPAR.

Mopar Connection Magazine publishes its articles daily and completely free to you – requiring no sign-ins, apps, downloads, or passwords to access our subscription-free content, making it the single-most accessible MOPAR magazine in the industry.

Cody KruegerCar Feature Editor – cody.krueger@shawgroupmedia.com
Since the age of 4, Cody has been obsessed with everything Mopar. On Christmas of 1998, Cody's parents gave him a rusty '69 Charger shell that his father saved from a field. Cody's garage still features that '69 Charger as well as the additions of a '71 Charger R/T, '71 Super Bee, '08 Challenger SRT8 and a '12 Ram 3500. Cody can truly and proudly say that he is a true Mopar nut in love with all types of Mopars!

That restoration experience lead to pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a career in manufacturing.
