How did you save that? I have a couple pics I'd like to save from there, but can't. A few old John Hagen pics in that link, and the Orange Krate Barracuda.

Collin & Jones, they were also discussed in the SS/DA thread with their history laden Cuda convert. Now this car does look familiar. Since Finks did not get their car from S&M maybe this is where it went. Although from what I can tell with the hood scoop(s) maybe this is the 440 car. Keystone classics and red line tires, now that been a long time.

Frito-On the Collins and Jones 67 Hemi car, Phil said they bought it from Sox and Martin after a race- took it home directly from the track.I don't know the history on the car, they might have had 2 67's. I do beleive that one was a "Sox and Martin prepared" car, not actually raced by S&M- I believe that vehicle is currently in KC in S&M paint colors.

Thanks for the update Mike. Yes they had a least two, one hemi and one 440, maybe more. This and the SS/DA thread have opened some interesting tidbits, thanks to all that take part!

Just so ya know..the car was yellow with lace trimmings


thanks.

or this

There used to be one in Utah and the last I heard it was in Idaho.Anyone know the history?

Hard to see but if you look close you can see this was the 440, small twin scoops.

Like I said, they had a lot of cars. Here are two 67 Hemi cars painted the same at the same track, Indy behind the West side of the staging lanes.

I've been doing a little digging myself on the Sox & Martin '67 cars. I believe they had at least five that year. I have a guess on the maximum, but do not want to say anything because some idiot would take it as word.

I know that Sam Carroll bought one of the S&M 67 440 cars and raced it with a Hemi. Here is a mystery - who owned this car - looks to be in the Cleveland, OH area?

I am not sure on the 67 cars but on the 68 cars they raced quite a few. Contrary to what most people might think, they were not the original owners on many of them. I know for fact that they sold (at least some of) their 68 cars in 68, 69, 70. S&M bought alot of cars from racers - set them up - sometimes re-painted them and sold them but I know that some of these also were been turned into S&M raced cars as well. They had new cars in 69, 70 & the one Ronnie raced in 74.
