Phil Toney, a Jeep engineer on the AMC race team (far right in the photo), died earlier this week. He started with AMC in the 1960s, joining the AMX racing team, and working in Jeep development starting in the 1990s. He was one of the team that started the Easter Jeep Safari, and went to the Moab event every year. His Jeep Wrangler YJ, dubbed “PRODOG,” was well known there. He retired in 2007. (Via Nick Zechar)
David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
