Sox and Martin 67 GTX info needed

[Rolling_Thunder]

Need info on Sox and Martin 67 GTX - specificly tire size, engine modifications, and things of that nature

I imagine the best of the engine mods went with Jake King but I must have some old magazine around somewhere with an article on the car.  I'll see what I can dig up.

A buddy of mine here local John mahoney owns one of the original 67 GTX sox & martin cars.

Wasn't only one an actual GTX and the other one was a Belvedere RO car that S&M painted to look like a GTX?

[Rolling_Thunder]

well any help would be appreciated guys

Still looking.  Being Super Stock cars in 1967, they weren't incredibly modified.  The S&M RO car would have a Hemi suspension with a pinion snubber, battery in the trunk, Street Hemi engine rebuilt by Jake King and possibly with the intake modified by Arlen Vanke, and tires not a lot bigger than stock (10 inch tread?).  But there should be more detailed info somewhere.

let me start by saying i am an old fart....sortof..i remember vivdly going into a showroom in springfield PA and seeing a 67 belvedere track hemi car.  it was white, full blast hemi...trunk mount battery..huge hood scoop..no power steering...no radio...and even no heater...black interior, bench seat...if i remebert right, it was a two door sedan..no fliptop gas filler...huge springs..ready to race...except for one thing...it had 7.75 x 15 inch two ply goodyear power cushions..

i think that was about april of '67...

in july that year,i bought a new 67 gtx, thinking how much more special it was cause it had nicer interior, flip filler, a nice am radio, and full wheel covers...it, too, had the two ply tires, but they were whitewalls

if i knew then, what i know now....

i saw sox+martin race  on numerous occasions at cecil county dragoway in maryland...seemed like they had a few versions of the same 67 plymouth...one sedan, one hardtop...i think.

oh well. i need to go take my geritol and lok for my granola.

They may have had a sedan, I'm not sure.  They definitely had more than one hardtop though.
