In 1968, Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin won the Winter Nationals and Spring Nationals.  The Plymouth GTX was one of the cars they used to “win on Sunday, sell on Monday”.  They held drag racing clinic programs and visited local dealerships around the country.  With a 426 CID Hemi with two 4-barrel carbs, this GTX was a favorite on the strip in the Super Stock class. Today, in memory of drag racing legends, you can get a glimpse of these Sox and Martin cars at historical drag races and in museums.
