everyone needs to go and get a february 2004 (talk about sending issues early) high performance pontiac magazine. it has a very interesting article on a man who retired from gm that was the senior project engineer, advanced manufacturing engineering, advanced vehicle engineering 8th level (wow, what a title. imagine that on your name badge) anyway, he raced back in the early 60's and it goes on to tell about pontiac making 5 1965 lightweight gto's (one sent to royal and another to knafel pontiac othes went different places) and then john delorean okayed them to build him one in black which he still has and only has 4700 miles on it. his was not lettered up and was actually taken delivery thru royal pontiac and was not ment to be sold but royal did get him the title a year or so later (please read the story yourself for exact details). it then quotes him as saying that unfortunately he doesnt have the paperwork on it because back then it was just supposed to have been a race car and there was not supposed to be paperwork to cover "backroom handshake deals". WOW!!!! DOES THIS NOT JUST BACK UP ALL THE STORIES THAT BILL KNAFEL HAS TOLD??? i know it does not prove them without a shadow of a doubt, but it does give credibility to what he says. unless of course this man has lost his mind also like everyone seems to think bill knafel has. ps- to the engineer that wrote in and didnt remember knafel, they sure did keep you in the dark didnt they [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
