There are two Birds in Puerto Rico that I know of. I'm trying to get VIN's - Also, Maybe this is a dumb question but where is the "REAL" Sox & Martin Bird - Reed in Ne. / 308-236-5784 PS - pic of the car I'm restoring.

Reed, TOTALLY wicked car ya have there!!! Do you have the hauler too?


One of the two original S&M Bird's remains are supposed to be somewhere in Louisiana. Apparently, a dragstrip owner ended up with the car and raced it regularly at his own track until he wrecked it and pretty much took out the whole front end of the car. No one seems to know where it is though. The whereabouts of the second car are also totally unknown.

Nope, don't have the hauler, darn it !!
I've always heard rumours of two, but have only seen pics of one car. I've seen one pic in S&M's shop with two Birds but the other Bird cannot be clearly seen. Do you have info/pics of both cars ?? Jack Werst's 5 n 50 Bird is still owned by Tosten who used to race it, I believe.
FYI- there's at least 4 Birds w/in 20 miles of my small town in Nebraska. One has not been out of the shed since 1971(Vietnam story).
I'll try to get the VIN's on the Puerto Rico Birds if I can.
A guy by the name of Neeley used to race a Daytona in SuperStock - East coast guy. Ever run across it ??
I'm into the old Drag cars history and have an Altered Wheel Base fetish - LOL -
Many Thanks, Reed in Ne. / 308-236-5784

Reed, bummer deal on the hauler. That is one cool truck!

Joe Fisher drove the 440 flat hood Bird for S&M and Herb McCnadless drove the Hemi with six pack hooded Bird for S&M. I had the same pics you mentioned of the Birds in the S&M shop and this one other pic that I have posted here. This pic may actually already be buried somewhere deep withing this unending thread!

The Jack Werst Mr. 5 & 50 Bird is way cool and I'd love to see it in person some day.

Man, that's an awful lot of wings in such a small area. That just goes to show that they're still out there. That's sad about the one with the Vietnam story. I wonder what kind of condition it's in after all these years.

Sounds cool on the Puerto Rican Birds. Them are probably a sight to see down there! I never heard of the Neeley Daytona but would like to learn more about it.

Keep up the good work with those old drag cars. I've always been into old drag racing history. Heck, why else would I take a perfectly good, original Superbird and make it into a drag car!

Wow Garry, who the heck is this Sultan dude and how the heck did he get 1,300 cars in one garage? Must be one heck of a garage! Surely there's gotta be a wing or two out of 1,300!!!

Well,He is a ruler of a tiny island nation over in the area of Indonesia. Apparantly the island was a stop over for migrating birds for thousands of years. Of course with birds, you have birdsh$t. Very big demand for the stuff because its full of phosphate and its used in fertilizers.
Bill Gates is only a pauper compared to this guy. he has about 10 wives that keep him "up" night time, i heard that he got caught with a few extras that he used to bring in from the US for some "play in the hay". he has a couple of 747s that he used to fly them back and forth with.
I could go on and on but you can find out some things about him on the net.
yes all the cars are stored in one garage! Thats not that big considering his living room can seat 6000 guests.

In Car & Driver a few years ago an article about the Sultan and his cars said that, in order to make room for new cars, many cars were taken out to sea and dumped in the ocean.


1971 Superbee 440-6 auto dana airgrabber
The resto started: Nov 2004, now its 2024 and its 95% finished. I can't believe it is the same car I started with.
1964 Corvette coupe...always gets more attention than the Bee from the general public.

Bobby Hamilton sold both of his Birds. Too busy racing to enjoy them now from what I understand. I think he's still a wing car fan though.

There was a book excerpt in Automotive News recently about how a son of the Sultan bought enough one-off Bentleys for the firm to start-up their own custom department. They would draw sketches or concepts of what they thought they could sell the guy. Basically, the company based the majority of their operating budget on income from this one customer. Amazing!

Wow, that's pretty amazing about the ol' Sultan! I'm gonna have to do some research on him and his cars. His living room can seat 6,000 guest??? He dumped excess cars in the sea??? Bentley designed customs just for him???

Hey Dave, I didn't know the Jack Werst Mr. 5 & 50 Bird was a real Hemi car. That's too cool!
