Sox & Martin Superbird aka SuperChicken

Good point about the rat roadster...but after looking at the photo again, I see the one on top of the cart is what look's like to be a medium rise tunnel ram, and the one below is a cross ram intake...but your probably right about them using the rat roadster intake in super stock, they started using the tunnel rams in the early 70's everyone was using them by then in pro stock.

The Sox & Martin car also ran in Modified Production, therefore the tunnel ram. Usually had a '69 A-12 "Six Pack" scoop on it too when running in MP.

Thanks for the cricket pic Moose! Just got back from deployment...I've been neglecting the SuperChicken search.

Not a good picture, but it is the Superbird vs Dick Landy in a match race at Carlisle AR. Both were MP type configuration. This was probably 1970 or 71.

Two of the coolest Mopars ever.

The picture of the Superbird in front of the Sox & Martin facility is awesome.

What would that car be worth today?

Topper: I may be able to answer some questions for you. There were 2 Superbirds at S&M. The one in front of the building at the top in post #32 was a street/show car. The lower shop photo shows Joe Fisher at rr, myself standing at front of the race car. The Paul Lance SS cuda is on the right and Chuck Neely's (SS racer from S Carolina) car is against the wall. The race car was sold to Norm Parha (sp?) from Baton Rouge LA some time late 70, early 71. The show car belonged to Chrysler and I believe was returned to them. The race car was searched for by MANY people since then and has never been found.
