Paul,

Does anyone sell the rear spoiler seen on the Sox & Martin car in post #453 of this thread?

Frank,


Here is Sox & Martin running Pro/Stock at the 1970 NHRA Winternationals with a
full-width body length rear tail-fin.





Ed Miller used a rear fin-spoiler in 1970 when running in Pro/Stock.
But this one is a different style.

The Ed Miller rear spoiler was trunk width only. Was still with the car on a fiberglass lid.

Sox & Martin

Had a Rear-Deck Fin on their 1968 Barracuda at the
1969 Super Stock Magazine Nationals at York, Pennsylvania.

It was mounted on the Barracuda that was running in X/SS.

Could they have been from a Camaro ........

Chevrolet Camaro Rear-Deck Fins
* 1968 ........ 59" Width x 4 1/2" Height
* 1969 ........ 61" Width x 4 1/4" Height

Well,,, since Ronnie was driving the '70 Cuda at Pomona that year, and went to a final round loss to Bill Jenkins and his '68 Camaro,, who was driving the old 'Cuda in the photo? My eyes aren't that great anymore, but it looks like it says Don Carlton on the door,,, I'm sure someone knows the answer. Also looks like Wally Parks standing behind the trunk,, all dappered out. Thanks for any info.

The rear deck spoiler pictured on Ronnie's '69 Barracuda Pro Stock looks very similar to the spoiler offered on the '69 Barracuda Savage GT. Auto Craft was a little known Wisconsin based auto company that converted 13 fastback Barracudas into unique, and legitimate, consumer cars. The entire deck lids / spoilers were made from fiberglass.

Excellent Mr. a990-Hemi,

Yes, that Rear-Deck Fin on the Sox & Martin car is molded with
the Fiberglass Deck-Lid.

Auto Craft out of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin produced those units
in late-April 1969.

Owner {George Prentice Jr.} and a few friends came up with the
design for the Savage GT, which was to compete against the
Shelby GT350 in a series of Can Am races in 1969.
