This was the last of the “Missile” Pro Stockers. As illustrated here, Mike Fons ran 8.80s at the Turkey Trot Nationals in 1974. Pro Stock driver Don Carlton eventually bought the Missile and ran it with “Don Carlton” lettering in place of Motown Missile lettering.

Sox & Martin weren't the only drag racing team that received help from Chrysler. Not far from the Chrysler Engineering facilities, drag racer Ted Spehar "field tested" parts for the engineers that worked in the Chrysler Drag Racing R&D Group.

The Duster Missile was a tube chassis car, thanks to Grumpy Jenkins’ Vega. Grump may have created a slight advantage with his small-block Vega, but the big Hemi Mopars were like the dogs of war... always there... always within striking range. If Jenkins’ Vega could get knocked out of competition, then any one of a number of fierce Chrysler cars had an excellent chance of winning.
