What year did Ronny quite match racing a Duster? I remember him racing at Colonial Beach Va.(long field). Some time in the mid 70s? The car had a 4-link and he was adjusting it for the track. Can't remember who he raced against that day.

Please show me one picture of a Sox and Martin car that had a Red Roof!!!! If someone can do that Ill buy the sanded paint otherwise I think Herb McCandless, Buddy Martin, Dave Christie, and Chic Denino, all SOX and Martin owners or shop employees have confirmed it is not a Sox and Martin shop built or team car. The workmanship is terrible, my 13 year old son could do a better job.

I do have a picture of a Sox and Martin car with a Yellow Roof.

We did forget to mention this Duster of Ronnie's. This car is accounted for though, and not the one being misrepresented in the website.

I saw that car at the Mopar Nats this year it was by the time slip shack. I agree it's not a Sox car,( I 'm also no expert) but the sanded paint did not show Sox colors.

At first I thought it might be the old Shay Nichols Dodge that was a muti-colored car, and I guess no one remembers this red Sox & Martin Plymouth that was printed on those old Fleer drag cards, and if it turns out to be this car I charge a finders fee.

Herb McCandless Never Raced a 71 Duster for Buddy Martin. You will figure out why I put this on here later.


If this were solid red with a white sticker on the 1/4 that said footbrakeracing.com what would you say???/

I'm no expert on these cars either, but.....

Didn't these cars have modified A-pillars and roofs?

It says in the article that the original windshield was broken when removing it(current owner). And it was replaced with a factory original style one. How would a "factory" one fit?!

If the fake S&M car was really a Pro Stocker and someone wants to ID it, look at the west car cars built by Ron Butler. Ron put in high side bars as on this '71 Butch Leal Duster (with a partially red roof).

Although not a west coast car, here's another well known Butler build. It has the high sidebar like the one shown in part 5 of the link to the faker.

Here is the REAL Reid Whisnant Pro Stock Duster
I'm trying to dig it out of storage and take it to the all Hemi reunion in Ohio this weekend, anyone wanting to verify it can come on over and crawl all over it or in it
