Re: Knafel Tempest 400 Magnum pics?
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!

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif IF I REMEMBER. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif STICKS IN MY MIND. LOL. Join the club. As I get older the ONLY thing that works better is my forgetterer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif The Glasco car is an automatic. Arrrggggg!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
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. |
Re: Knafel Tempest 400 Magnum pics?
If my memory is correct, I was told the Knafel's only know the whereabouts of 1 Magnums today.

Re: Knafel Tempest 400 Magnum pics?
Talk about a find!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif That sure would be one. Will make inquiries to see what I can find out. Still looking for the article. Saw the one about the GT-37 yesterday but haven't looked in MCR yet.

Re: Knafel Tempest 400 Magnum pics?
A little story Gents.....
Early on, my family would visit Kinfolks in Akron, OH. As a young teenager, I had to go along. Older cousin Bob, a drag racer himself, took me to Dragway 42, Quaker City, and Norwalk, all dragstrips in Northern OH. Cousin Bob worked at a auto repair shop in Copley, OH.(a suburb of Akron) which was just up the road from Arlen Vanke's garage. Vanke often brought his drag cars to Bob for front end alignments. One day in 1968, Vanke brought 2 Tin Indian Pontiacs in for alignments. I think one was a Tempest and the other a GTO. A few days later, he sent in a 68 Hemi Barricuda in full race trim. Unknown to me at the time, it was one of the rare factory Hemi cars. Vanke had hooked up Chrysler and the sun was setting on his association with Knafel. As a pimple-faced teenager, that Hemi car left a lasting impression on me....One I'll never forget!, |
