Original hemi dart information

The Sox & Martin cars are the hardest to trace. What poeple don't always know is that Sox & Martin bought & sold a number of cars. They had at least 2 cars in 68, 69 & 70 (and 1 in 74) but these were not the same cars! They sold off some of the old cars and built new ones. Anyone know where Joe Fisher is these days (ex-S&M shop Foreman). A number of racers cars were sold to S&M: Dead Nicopolis, Joe Smith, Dave Wren, ect... Were these cars turned into the new S&M cars or were they sold? I know of a guy who has an 8" x 10" Les Lovitt photo of S&M first Barracuda that still has the paperwork in the window and is readable but I have been trying to get a copy of it for 5 years! He just likes collecting old race car pics and isn't too concerned with it but he doesn't realize how important this is to someone who is trying to document all the cars produced. I have had a few people mention that if you want to know the numbers for Charlie Castaldo's Dart decode the windshield paperwork shown when he picked up the car - there was a picture. But if you look the paperwork is arranged differently than on the Castaldo Dart and the numbers decode to another car.
