Bill Knafel made approximately 12 of these. Picture and article to follow are provided by John at the Goatfinder GTO Classifieds, John interviewed the Knafel's many years ago and was provided with select photos.

Here is the article John wrote after interviewing the Knafel's that accompanies the picture of the Sabre.

Nice looks like Hurst wheels on that car. Is the 70 Judge described in the article now owned by one of the SYC members on this site?

Yes, that would be Mike (sixtiesmuscle) and is the one Mickey is restoring.

I didn't know about the special heads supposedly on that car, very interesting and I'm looking further into that.

Nice---Hurst wheels and belted whitewall 70s. What a sleeper, until you turn the key, that is.

I just found out this pic was taken from a color picture, so I'm working on getting him to scan it in a hight quality color photo. Sweet.....

The individual in the photo is believed to be an un identified car salesman.

My version of the Golden Sabre: 69 GTO, Burgundy with Parchment interior, RAIII with 4-speed, Hurst wheels on radial redlines. Jim

Wow Jim, that is one gorgeous Goat. The Hurst wheels and redlines really nail it, IMHO.

Yes, Jim your GTO is BEAUTIFUL!

Looks like that pic was taken at the GTO Nats in Columbus.
