James, curious but did you or your friend happen to get any photos of this thing yet or figure out whose car it was originally...

I got an update from my friend. It turns out the guy that knows where the car is, now doesn't want to let anyone else know where the car is located. It might be a case of someone smelling some money and now wants it for himself. I'm guessing the car is still around NC somewhere. Hopefully it will be restored or surface so people can see it again if it's the real deal. Thanks for all the responses for what ended up being a dead end.

James, it is possible that Don Carlton might have drove one of the '67 Plymouth GTX's for Sox & Martin, but I doubt that he had his own '67 S&M car...maybe he had another '67 Plymouth at the time. But since he is not here anymore, maybe someone can ask these questions at the Nostalgia Reunion coming up shortly.

Many of Carlton's close friends and family will be in Henderson, NC this week-end. I will pursue the question and post any information I get on Monday.

Has anyone here ever heard of any of these '66 Plymouth Belvedere models being built or sold...in all my years of reading about the Sox & Martin cars, I've never heard of any of these models being raced by the team...is there any truth to this article or it just someones wild imagination.

Someone took one too many hits from the crack pipe. That web page is full of non-sense. Hopefully nobody takes that info seriously.

1 of 13 and I'm going to spend a bunch of money to make it look like any street 67 by putting back all the stuff the factory took out to make it 1 of 13.

Yep. True collector car now! :rolleyes:

But it ran nines, man, NINES!

It reads like a load of malarky to me too.
