Me and my wife went to a Sox and Martin program in Colorado in Colorado Springs, what a great program! Looked at all of the cars they had with them. We have never forgotten this experience. What a great team, and a beautiful Cuda
Yup, nothin' cooler than a Sox and Martin Cuda with a HEMI. BUT to think you can go to a dealer and buy a car that will beat its best 1/4 mile time and it won't even make a sound!! Times have really changed.
Finally starting to put the Sox & Martin 71 roadrunner together.. my father will be pissed I’m even typing this on here because he’s owned it he car for 50 years an doesn’t really like talking it up about those days out of his circle. He owned the 71 cuda at one time. I’m hoping I can get a buddy to make some videos of the process to upload. The process of rebuilding the motor has begun and it’s going to be fun..
Super stock meet at St Genevieve, Missouri in the late 60's. Sox/Martin, Herb Mccandless aka Mr 4 Speed, several others were all put on the trailer by a 66 L88 powered 66 SS Chevelle owned by Larry Propst from Crystal City, Missouri. 66 SS was licensed.
Gotta watch MR 4 SPEED. Awesome original Pro Stock cars and factory race cars. This car is in it. Herb McCandless was Sox/Martin teammate. Drove their 2nd car and was a badass. Definitely worth watching if you're into the old factory racers.
I live in a small town in Florida near Gainesville and believe it or not two of the 50 Cooters that were modified by Hearst were in this town. One was formally owned by Judy Lilly, and the other one was on originally by Sox Martin. The Sox and Martin one was sold twice the second person that owned thought it was a good thing, a Street Racist car and destroyed it in a wreck. I remember when you open the door on the post where the hinges were there was a sticker that said this car was not intended for highway use.
Saw Ronnie Sox at ATCO New Jersey in 1970. Guy with us announced to come with him and check out the engine because the hood was off. Said it had 16 spark plugs, 16 spark plug wires and 2 distributors. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy.
I had a 68 340 Formula S. Not a match for this by any stretch but IT DID RUN! I never could get enuf rubber on the road. (Wish Id thot about the weight on the right rear. Doggone!!) Best time Aug 1973 Magnolia Ohio 13.95/105.1. Lotta fun. One of 4 I wish I still had.!!
My 1st car at 16 was a 68 Barracuda 340 S Notch Back. Came factory with 410 Gears. That one hooked up. It took a Mustang and a GTO 6 cars out of the hole with bald snow tires. No lie. I now have a built 340 68 Barracuda with maybe more power, but my 1st car would have taken it because of the way it hooked up..
@@timippolito1182 Let me make a suggestion. Add Cold Air Intake. Cut a hole in the plenum under the right side of the windshield. Beside cooler air you also get a slight pressure increase from the base of the windshield. A trick of Smokey Yunick. Some math for you to prove the value. For EVERY 15 deg F above 70F you lose ANOTHER 9-10% of your advertised HP. If your underhood air is 195deg you have lost HALF of the available HP. Also if possible alter the air cleaner intake to be larger. Greater diameter lowers the velocity of the incoming air and also "restriction". I made mine 3" all the way from that hole in the plenum to the Air Clnr.
The car has special light weight glass to eliminate 4 and 1/2 pounds of weight to make it faster .......and special lead weights in the trunk that add 125 pounds !!! makes perFUCT sense !!!
I saw Ronnie drive this car many times at my home track , York , Pa. The most desired car of this type because Ronnie's name is on it ! A prize posession !!!
