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!

Re: Knafel Tempest 400 Magnum pics?
------Is that the new tower at Quaker? Wow,pretty nice compared to the old. Spent a lot of time at that track. Way more at "42". Always felt I was running uphill but the old owner assured me I wasnt. Still dont know for sure though.
------As a point of interest,I knew Arlen all the way back in 1965. He worked for Russ Ciefert at RC Industries in my home town of Medina OH. Arlen raced Mopars as well as Pontiacs all the way back in 63. He had a Max-Wedge Plymouth in 63. It was wrecked early and he went and got a six-cylinder version and moved all the drivetrain out of the wreck into the six car. It was a hideous tan color and rapidly gained the name "Ol Brownie". That car exists today but is painted black. Matter of fact the owners live somewhere in northern Illinois. There is a tan clone of "Ol Brownie"out there as well. Its because of these facts that I know Arlens connection with Mopars was earlier than 68. He also was given a 67 black notchback Cuda and a 440 new by Chrysler and told to mate the two and give the factory his assesment. Thats how close Arlen had gotten to the guys at Chrysler. I had a chance to buy that early Mopar supercar and waited a few days too long. It was sold to another snot-nosed kid and he popped the 440 his first time at the strip. Who knows,if I had bought it I might have done the same thing!.........Bill S
