a collector has made a matched set of the Sox and Martin race cars and hauler



this Belvedere GTX the only car that was actually titled in Buddy Martin's name; this car has full documentation as well as the original Certi-card."


Clark Rand of Missouri assembled this set from careful buys at auctions. Clark presently owns the 1967 Super Stock Belvedere and the 1968 'Cuda of the 1969 World Championship.

Clark created a transporter that was a near replica of the factory-supplied vehicle that the Sox and Martin used.

The truck is a 1969 D700 with cab and toolbox area. The engine is a bone-stock, 413 industrial Wedge with a high/low gear box attached to the four-speed transmission. Other than the paint, it is untouched. In fact, it has survived in such great shape because it was owned by a fire company in Pineyville, Kentucky, and has run up just over 10,000 miles in all those years.

1970 build your own convertible GTX, from Virginia, (cool plates)

Of course Plymouth didn't make any, so this cool guy decided he was the right man for the job of adding one to the lexicon. Really, look at this, and tell me what was the brain trust at Mother Mopar thinking when they didn't do this? It's a no brainer for sure.

Just take and find one of the 700 or so ever made convertible Satellites (yeah, right... good luck finding one for sale) add the GTX grill and tail light parts. Put together a bitchin' 440, add some Lakewood bars if you like the look, shoe it with terrific looking Torque Thrust D's, put the GTX emblems behind the side scoops, and Bob's your uncle, (viola is so damn French, them buggers) you've got a damn fine looking and performing drop top.
Still a little course for some, but the owner said he's not looking to be worried about every scratch and ding, it's a machine for enjoying, not a trophy hunter. Rock on.

I just dig this view.

Just nice!

This is the strangest speedo.... the digits aren't inside a gauge face... the bar is below them, and this looks so incredibly 1st grade. So cheap. What was Ford Design thinking? they once upon a time had the slogan "Ford, we have a better idea" must have been after this designer was fired, and put the others on notice.

As rare as a 440 4 barrel GTX is... I never thought I'd see a polished rear valance panel... kinda cool!

Says it all... even includes his phone number

Wow, one of the best pinstriped trunklids I've ever seen... Cisneros is the artist, damn... wish I knew how to contact that guy... that's awesome!
