Re: 1970 gto judge ram air IV
After reading all of these posts, I have to interject. Steved, I can say absolutely Knafel did not receive a factory RA V car. He did get some engines, though. I am not trying to cut the guy down here as he did do a lot in promoting Pontiacs, HOWEVER,
Since his son started trying to make a profit off of the name a few inconsistencies have been popping up.
1) I am sure Bill or his son said they got some RA V cars. Remember by late 69 he was starting to limit his racing.
2) The only one that stated Running Bear was the GTO prototype is Knafel himself?? Do you really think Bill was the only one to think of this?? The car was not even a factory A/fx car!
3) Bill Knafel even promoted Tims car as the original Running Bear until Tim refused to sign a
Statement giving Bill $$ whenever he show's the car. Bill now says he does not think it is the original car??
4) I was also just told he has also recently sent a similar letter to Green stating he wants 40% of the selling price if sold! Let us see if he starts denying the 66 GTO is the original car!!
So INTEGRITY??
