Re: Sox & Martin Superbird aka SuperChicken
Joe Fisher drove the Suberbird at an NHRA points meet in Gainesville in 1970. I raced him first round of eliminations and he missed a gear and I won the round with my SS/FA 1968 Mustang.

Re: Sox & Martin Superbird aka SuperChicken
slide over to Moparts.com post up you request there. Ronnie's wife Diane is on there from time to time as well as HemiFred ( www.prostockhemi.com) who has a ton of pics & info on team Sox and Martin.

Moose: Sweet pics. I don't have the one on right. Where was that taken? Looks like it's later in the year...added two stickers (fwd of the valvoline and champion stickers) and the hooker sticker looks like it's been ripped off.

But I do have a question myself, and would like to know if this was a real 1970 Hemi Superbird (or other engine originally) or maybe a body in white from the factory. Can anyone here confirm the VIN # of the Sox & Martin 70 Superbird? |

Re: Sox & Martin Superbird aka SuperChicken
Sorry, I wasn't very clear above...I've seen what he wrote on moparts, but it was very vague...no specifics, so I sent him a private message and emailed his aol account, but no reply, yet. I'm sure there's somebody out there that knows specifics about when/how it was destroyed, crushed, blown away, or whatever (heard them all). Better yet, I'd just love to be able to talk to folks that raced it, but there are no names after Sox and Martin sold it.
Your questions: Jack Werst's Mr 5&50 was supposedly similar to body in white...it's vin is on the NASCAR registry (sox car is probably on there also, but not identified yet), and it is believed that it was a 'modified' NASCAR bird, which means it was delivered w/o the vinyl roof and the plug seams would have been smoothed. I would think the S&M car would have come to them the same way. Werst's was a hemi auto, S&M was a 440 4spd, but Chrysler Historical can't find records of any birds being made for NHRA/AHRA. When I get back to the Norfolk area, I hope to take a weekend and go see Diann (sp) Sox to see if she's got anything that could help.
