Re: 1970 gto judge ram air IV
Jeff car X does not have any codes what so ever stamped on the engine, I'm not sure about the Tin Indian. The motor is partially disassembled in the bay, after some sort of failure during a pass. Best I recall, that is what I was told about it blowing. I have seen the motor myself, it has the passenger head pulled along with the header which are in the trunk.
It is my belief that the "memo" is an invoicing note reflecting or noting being pulled from the aisle and taken to engineering. I feel will all the SD coverage, some one could probably verify that.
I think Bill Knafel's statement on the car to be factual.
I think there was or still is an engineering log at GM, that may hold the pin point proof. Obtaining that information is my goal, and I am working on it.
I thought with the attention this board was drawing on the car, some one might step up to the plate and help in the search. Trying to get this information from GM is NOT easy. The emissions concern several have brought up I might understand why, but you would have to think a statute of limitations would have expired by now. GM does hold some of it's documentation from the public, it's been hard to decide if that is the case or we just haven't found a person that will put out the extra effort.
The reason I am so adamant about this.... I do believe the car is real, and I would like to correct the myth. Also, now I believe the Tin Indian is a significant counter part thanks to this board disscussion.
Because of this car I have become acquainted with some people that I hope to see at the Nats in Joplin next summer, and wouldn't that be something if both of the cars could be there too?
