I have an autoplaying CD of photos from Stewart. I need to break that back out, it's been a while since I looked at it.

Those are some good stories guys...anyone ever buy a car from Baldwin Motion, Grand Spaulding Dodge or some other high performance dealership...how about some before & after shots of Mr. Norm's old dealership.

Dose anyone know what happened to Sox&Martin 66 altered wheel base Baracuda.
They sold to Buckeye in Baltimoer,around late 66 or 67. He and Vernon Rowley raced it,,then he sold to someone and car was lost
as to ownership from that point on.
Would love to find and restore it.

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.

Here's an interesting story of one of the Sox & Martin team haulers...

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.
