On the Auction Block: 2011 Dodge Challenger "Sox & Martin"

Hello and welcome to another feature of my "On the Auction Block" series where i show cars that stood out from the crowd at the 2011 Palm Beach Auction. For this entry we have a brand new muscle car made to evoke the image of a 1/4 mile demon from the 70s.

This is a 2011 Dodge Challenger dressed up in the colors of the well known Sox & Martin drag racing team. It featured a 'Cuda front and rear appearance change, a 5.7 liter Hemi engine, six speed manual with pistol grip shifter, and custom billet wheels.

Since Ronnie Sox & Buddy Martin mostly used Plymouths as platforms for their funny cars, the designers of this commemorative car took it to the next level, fitting custom front and rear clips turning the Challenger into a modern version of  the 1971 'Cuda.

Plans are to make a series of these Sox and Martin-ised Challengers for the public, and what makes this one special is that its the Serial 1 car, the first one of the line. Definitely a great car to have if you cant afford a real Sox and Martin 'Cuda.
