RE: A/Stock final

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just read an article the other day in the Aug. 2010 issue of Muscle 
Car about Ronnie Sox driving a Chevy Z-11 before he & Buddy Martin 
jumped to Chrysler.  Some of these used the "W" motor punched out to 427 
C.I.  There is also an article in the Dec. 2010 issue of Mopar Action 
with Buddy Martin telling stories of their days with Plymouth.
