In the late 1960's and early 1970's Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin had a stronghold on NHRA Super Stock and Pro Stock categories winning countless races in their Red, White and Blue Hemi-powered Plymouth drag race cars.  As a tribute to their legendary Hemi-cuda race cars Mr. Norm's Garage has teamed up with Diane Sox, wife of Ronnie and Buddy Martin to produce a limited run of Sox and Martin collector series cars based on the new Dodge Challenger.

The Sox and Martin Collector Series Challengers will be available in three models with the famous Red, White and Blue color scheme along with period correct S&M graphics.  The three models include a S&M Super Street Edition with 625 horsepower, Super Stock Edition with an insane 725 and the Pro Stock Edition features a mind boggling 900 plus horsepower Hemi engine.

Optional features include cuda style quarter panels, 1971 Cuda grille and tail panel and an aggressive hood scoop.  On the inside you can opt for custom leather interior with Sox and Martin Supercars shield embroidered on the seat backs.  To top off each car Buddy Martin will personally autograph each model.  Pricing and availability was not mentioned but expect these limited edition models to bring a high dollars.

Press Release:

If you've dreamed of owning a genuine Sox & Martin Hemi Cuda, get ready to stop dreaming and start driving. Diane Sox and Buddy Martin, of the legendary Sox & Martin drag racing team and Mr. Norm's Garage debuted the first Collector Series Sox & Martin Hemi Cuda at Mopars At The Strip on March 26, 2010.

Inspired by the Sox & Martin Hemi Cuda that won the 1971 NHRA Pro Stock National Championship, the Collectors Series Sox & Martin Hemi Cuda's are serious performance vehicles based on the new Challenger. The Collector Series Sox & Martin Hemi Cuda is available in three models. The Sox & Martin Super Street Edition boils the hides with an available 625 horsepower, the Super Stock Edition shakes the asphalt with 725 horsepower, and like its namesake, the Pro Stock Edition is equipped with a heart stopping 900 plus horsepower Hemi engine, Dana 60 differential and 4 link rear suspension.

Instantly recognizable, the Sox & Martin Collector Series Hemi Cuda's are available in the same red, white and blue paint scheme and period correct Sox & Martin graphics as the fearsome original NHRA Pro Stock National Championship winning Hemi Cuda. Optional features include Cuda style quarter panels, along with a modern interpretation of the 1971 Cuda grille and tail panel that's complemented by an aggressive hood scoop reminiscent of the one on the first Sox & Martin Pro Stock Hemi Cuda. Inside, the cockpit features custom leather seating with the Sox & Martin Supercars shield embroidered on the seat backs. In addition, each Sox & Martin Collectors Series Hemi Cuda is personally signed by Buddy Martin and has a special fender tag that identifies its equipment and S&M serial number.

Production for the Collectors Series Sox & Martin Hemi Cuda's is limited. So remember the drag racers adage, "he who snoozes, looses," and don't miss your chance to own a real piece of history.
