Jack, don't know what ever happened to their '66 Barracuda a/fx funny car but Ronnie Sox, Buddy Martin, & Jake King had quite the race team back in the 60's and early 70's...starting off with a Chevy Impala & Mercury Comet before switching to Plymouth's in 1965...maybe you can tell us some more old race stories from the past if you can remember some of them.

Great Memory Tommy!

The New Breed Cuda became the "Highlander" in 69 when campaigned by Phil Cerrone.

This car is the "Holy Grail" of race car collectors. From what I've been told it possibly was rebodied in the late 60's-early 70's and disappeared.

Now that you mention it they do look a little like those guys. Reed would be a little taller though :).

I can think of a few guys before them too...and alot after.
