Sox & Martin (BO29's Only)

Charlie, that B029 '68 Hemi Barracuda was originally Billy 'The Kid' Stepp's car...it was later bought by Sox & Martin and repainted in their red white & blue colors...it is still around and making the car show circuit, ( I think it's the same car that I posted that link earlier.)

I know that Stepp had a rumored "mystique" (for lack of a better word) around him.
But, for the racing part of his image, he always had some of the best looking stuff out there.

The #1 BO29,,,The front bumper was twisted on that car.
The front left (driver side) section was twisted upwards.

The hood & grille paint scheme on that car was changed a few times.

All good points made...but check out the early pics and see if you can spot the twisted bumper in them...look for the gap between the right & left grills and the bumper.

Not an obvious Sox&Martin, might not even be a B029.
Any ideas on whose or what it is?

Is that Vanke in front of the car?

Moose/Paul,
This is S&M's first car - the one that was put together in SS&DI - note the red pinstripe near the rocker panel - This photo shows the first outing after the NYC Car show. This photo, the SS&DI photos and one clinic photo are all I have seen of this car - either it got re-painted or sold early??
