I wouldn't call it case closed until someone can show proof that the car arrived at Knafel before the engine was actually built. Does the PHS documentation show when the car was shipped to the dealer or when the car arrived at the dealer? Or can someone produce an NICB report showing the date Knafel got the car? That seems to be the next logical step in proving or disproving.

This is all I have, and it probably has nothing to do with time spent in engineering. Jim M would probably be the next hope for documentation. Supposedly all of Knafel's records are destroyed. |

Why would you bother this man again his quote below is from a previous post. If this car was real I believe he would be one of the first to talk it up.
"Guys Pontiac "never" built a Ram Air V GTO at the factory!!!" Jim Mattison Pontiac Historic Services The RA V horse is starting to look like road kill it has been beatin so badly. |

Because Jim was kind enough to call me during this debate, we worked things out between us. I apologized to him in person and publicly. And he stated, he would do what he could to help in the matter.
Any other questions? |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't see how you can look at it that way. According to Chevrolet records, they never built a 68 Z28 convertible either. And we know that car went to Engineering to have the crossram and rear disc brakes put on. I think the research that has been done regarding this GTO has been very informative. Even if it can be proven that this car arrived at Knafel with a RA IV engine, then what's the story behind the RA V engine that is in the car now? It has the correct engine code and production stampings. Were they stamped after the fact? We'll probably never really know for sure, but why call it a dead issue when there are still questions worth finding answers to.

[/ QUOTE ] Take a look at the attachment in the reply that Steve posted about this question. The document clearly shows a ìDATE SHIPPEDî of ì11-06-69î It also shows a ìDATE OF NOTEî of ì11-19(?)-69 and a date of ì11-30-69î as ìINTEREST FROMî. Think about it Steve. You work at a car dealership. Do you really think that the owner of a dealership is going to pay INTEREST for several months on a car that they have not even taken delivery of?

Don this is from your last post: "SR ON IT FOR SERVICE REPLACEMENT! NO CODES. ITS PLAIN TO SEE SOMEBODY STAMPED THAT BLOCK YOU HAVE [OTHER THAN PONTIAC]THATS WHY THAT JUDGE WILL NEVER TURN OUT TO" Rita's research kinda put the slame dunk on your opinions, you are now null and void. [/ QUOTE ] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img] THAT WAS NOT FAIR!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] You quoted him in mid-sentence!!! Why do you keep picking on him? Is it because he has a different opinion than you? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] It appears that you have been doing this since this thread started.

My families dealership never had a car go to engineering that I'm aware of, so I wouldn't have anything to look back on in our files to verify that either way.
Date shipped, could be the date it went to engineering, and interest from could be when it left engineering. Rita your doing a great job, we just need some way to verify. We have a man that will probably be making a post some time today that will probably establish your theroy on the date code correlation with the production number. He also thinks all of them started in a 6. If your theroy is correct, all we have to do is find the date it left engineering. It will either prove it didn't happen, or leave the door open. I'm working on the your date code theory, you think you can find out if the dates on the invioce actually reflect engineering? |
