Correct me if I'am wrong please....

There was a Pontiac dealer based in Akron, Ohio in the 1960s that ran drag race cars called "
Tin Indians". It was Knafel Pontiac although I'am not sure of the spelling.

Is this the Pontiac dealership discuissed in this thread?

Either HPP or PE ran an article a couple of years ago on the Magnum 400. It was a Tempest 2 dr post, 400, 4 speed or auto(may have been 3 speed) , 3:90's, Ralley II's w/o trim ring (I think), G70 X 14's, Magnum 400 sticker with Judge type stripe, Dual Exh and that was it. No carpet and standard interior. Kind of a prediscor to the GT-37. Have to find it. When I do I will let you know and post it here. (May have even been in Muscle Car Review).

I have an article on a '70 GTO that they raced. Will e-mail or post as those here would like. Don't want to take up a lot of space for 1 or 2 unless moderators don't care.

It was MCR, and if i recall correctly, the car was a clone.

If I'm not mistaken, weren't the Magnum 400s manual tranny cars only? For some reason that sticks in my mind, but that doesn't mean it's correct!

IF I REMEMBER. STICKS IN MY MIND. LOL. Join the club. As I get older the ONLY thing that works better is my forgetterer. The Glasco car is an automatic. Arrrggggg!!

Camarojoe, the article I am refering to is not the clone car. It was one that was done with old b&w pics and information. Tried to find it but couldn't. The one you are talking about is a Glasco clone car. They have both a '70 Magnum 400 and a '71 GT-37, 455HO/T-400 car. Both are very well done. I get a chance I will look for them Friday.

If my memory is correct, I was told the Knafel's only know the whereabouts of 1 Magnums today.
