Re: Original hemi dart information
Paul C, I think you're right about that primered 68 Hemi Barracuda in the other Sox & Martin shop photo being the ex-Don Carlton "Lil Thumper"...I also confirmed the decals located on the drivers side vent window with some other older pictures of it.
http://classracer.com/classforum/pic...pictureid=3352 Notice the 68 Hemi Barracuda in the middle of the shop, that is the ex-Dave Wren B029 Hemi Barracuda, he must have had a couple of different paint jobs on it before he sold it. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...IRD_RWB_15.jpg So how many B029 1968 Hemi Barracuda's did Sox & Martin own back then, or buy off other racers and just resell them to other customers. http://assets.hemmings.com/story_ima...00-0.jpg?rev=3 |

Did all of these cars get the full S&M treatment or were they simply passed along? |
Re: Original hemi dart information
Dan,
Most of the other BO29 Hemi Barracuda's were purchased in 1969 by Sox & Martin. Dean Nicopolis SS/BA car was featured in the December 1969 Speed and Supecar Magazine (photo session from September 69'), when Dean had it. I think Sox & Martin got it in February 1970. On selling prepared cars, I think the deal was, they put the car together, and guaranteed it would run 10.50's. They would deliver the car to your local drag strip of choice, then Ronnie Sox would take it down the track with a 10.50 guarantee. After that, hand over $10,000, and it was all yours. All the cars had variations red/white/blue paint scheme. |
