Richard Eherenberg is a well known automotive tech writer, having written for Mopar Action Magazine and others. How old is he?

1. What the user is actually asking and why name precision matters

The core question—“How old is Richard Eherenberg?”—depends entirely on correctly identifying the individual, because public records and historical catalogs show several different Richard Ehrenberg/Erenberg figures with widely different birth and death dates; the supplied results include a 19th–20th century German economist and several modern U.S. records for people with similar names, which illustrates the risk of conflating distinct people if the spelling or occupational identifiers aren’t confirmed (this analysis is limited to the supplied reporting and cannot confirm the Mopar byline name).

2. The historic Richard Ehrenberg in the reporting (not the automotive writer)

Multiple supplied sources document a Richard Ehrenberg who was a German economist born in 1857 and died in 1921; Wikipedia lists Richard Ehrenberg (5 February 1857 – 17 December 1921) and Encyclopedia.com and MyHeritage reflect the same birth and death years and roles as an economist/economic historian ^{[1] [2] [3]}. These citations show a clear, historically documented person named Richard Ehrenberg, but he is obviously not a contemporary automotive‑tech author.

3. Contemporary public‑records hits for “Richard Ehrenberg” and the age variance

The contemporary record‑search services in the provided reporting produce conflicting or multiple ages for people named Richard Ehrenberg: Intelius reports a Richard Russell Ehrenberg born in December 1940 and age 78 ^[4], BeenVerified reports an “average” Richard Ehrenberg age around 76 ^[5], and USSearch shows records for Richard Ehrenberg ranging from 42 to 110 years old ^[6]. These entries demonstrate that modern databases return multiple living individuals with that name and variable ages, but none of those entries in the supplied set is explicitly tied to the identity “automotive tech writer for Mopar Action.”

4. No supplied source links the automotive byline to an age or identity

The reporting provided does not include a source that identifies a Richard (E)herenberg as an automotive technical writer for Mopar Action Magazine, nor does it include a byline, biography, social profile, or publisher record that supplies a birthdate or age for such a person; therefore the supplied materials do not permit a factual answer to “How old is he?” for the named automotive author (this is a limitation of the provided reporting and not a denial of the user’s assertion).

5. How to resolve the gap—practical next steps to find the author’s age

To establish the age of the specific automotive writer named in the question, the next investigative steps are: locate the byline on Mopar Action Magazine archives or the magazine’s masthead and author bio pages (publisher records often list bios or links to social profiles), search the exact spelling “Richard Eherenberg” and alternate spellings in author databases and LinkedIn, and query automotive‑writer directories or the magazine’s editorial contact for a contributor biography; none of these steps can be completed using only the supplied sources, which lack that author identification (limitation in reporting).

6. Alternative explanations and hidden‑agenda cautions

Given the multiplicity of similar names in public records and the historical economist with the same name, one plausible explanation for the inability to locate an age in the provided reporting is simple name‑confusion or a spelling variation (Eherenberg vs. Ehrenberg vs. Erenberg); another is that the automotive writer may use a pen name, submit occasional freelance pieces without a public bio, or be relatively private, which would leave few public age markers—these possibilities cannot be resolved from the supplied sources and thus should caution researchers against assuming any one record applies to the Mopar byline.
