Default Re: Sox & Martin Superbird aka SuperChicken

As Steve Stasko stated above, the 3rd photo is someone's cloned car.
The S&M cars were all painted in the beginning by Red in his home garage. He did have a teen son that worked with him (Tommy?) Red did not work in a dealership. Worked for many years at Western Electric in Burlington until he retired. Tommy would be in his 70's now. The Superbird was at Red's house when I started there Dec 1969 but I did not see it until it was painted. The front fender vents and side marker lamps had been removed and filled as well.
The race car had a Hemi, 4speed. The street/clinic car was 440/auto. See post #42 about 2nd car.
The race car was SS/E first raced at the Blaney SC Div 2 points meet in 1970 and later that year at Dallas in CM/P. Herb was the last to race the car at Pomona in 1971in CM/P. Then it was sold to Norm Perha in Baton Rouge.
Again, refer to post #42 concerning 2 cars
