For you members who see the Pontiac Tin Indian License Plate and
wonder what it means or where it came from, here is a little background information of Knafel Pontiac and Tin Indian Racing.
Alberta Iron Indians Members, John Dampf, Carlos Velazquez, Shawn
Genge and others who attended the 2011 Ames Performance Pontiac
Nationals were treated to a display. It was a reunion of some of the
surviving cars and people behind the successful Knafel Pontiac "Tin Indians," raced out of Knafel Pontiac in Akron, Ohio, from 1959 to 1970.
The head "Tin Indian," William J. "Bill" Knafel, passed away on February 1, 2006 at the age of 79 after a long history of health problems. The
display paid tribute to Mr. Knafel in a way that he no doubt would have
enjoyed.
The Knafel "Tin Indians" helped shape Pontiac's performance image
through a long line of race cars over an 11year period and a longer
string of victories. As a personal friend of Pontiac General Managers
Elliott M., "Pete" Estes and John Z. DeLorean, Bill Knafel was one of a
few Pontiac dealers across the country chosen to act as a "backdoor outlet" for racing activities. GM was officially out of racing, but the automaker did help a few select dealers and privateer racers on a "don't tell
anyone" basis.
Knafel Pontiac fielded the most successful stock class drag racing effort
of the era, setting more stock class records than any other General Motors, Ford or Chrysler drag racing team.
In 1966 alone, the team racked up an astounding 27 victories in one
season with the 1966 GTO. This "Tin Indian" ran consistent mid to
high 12s in the 112 to 115 mph range (best of 12.22, according to Arlen
Vanke) and competed in C/Stock in NHRA and BB/Stock in NASCAR.
It also earned major national Stock Eliminator wins at the NASCAR
Winter Nationals in Florida and the NHRA Spring Nationals in Bristol,
Tennessee.

Race News Continued
Those were the kind of results that a success-oriented enterprise like the "Tin Indians"
were capable of and the full factory-sponsored teams just couldn't keep up.
After more than a decade of racing successes, the Knafel Pontiac drag racing swan song
was the setting of three different AHRA national records with Norm "Sonny" Tanner behind the wheel of the '70 "Tin Indian" Judge. The changing of carburetors (2-barrel, 4barrel and Tri-Power) between rounds made the Goat legal in three different classes.
Over its one-year career, the Judge competed mostly in AHRA's GT-2 and GT-3, and F2
FA classes. Its best pass was an 11.61 at 119 mph in GT-2 class trim. Among other
wins on its way to the national championship, it also garnered two major victories, including the 1970 Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee, and Pro Am Nationals in Rockingham,
North Carolina.
Over the next 2 Race News Issues I will talk about the 2 most famous Knafel Tin Indians.
The 1966 GTO and the 1970 GTO.
1966 GTO
The current owner is Merle Green current president of the POCI, he learned of his
GTO's storied past. He looked for the shipping manifest for his GTO and it came back as
a white '66 GTO, radio and heater-delete with Tri-Power, four-speed and 4.33 gearstagged to Knafel Pontiac.
Further research confirmed it was the four-speed Knafel "Tin Indian," the car with
which Arlen Vanke and Doc Dixon had racked up 27 local and regional "stock eliminator" wins during the '66 season (a second car was added later in the season but was not
raced, according to Vanke). To say he was surprised was an understatement and it
prompted him to rethink the restoration. "I immediately changed course and began collecting parts for a proper restoration to its race configuration," Green said. "It deserved
to be put back to the way it was originally raced".
Newly-inspired, Merle set out to get the parts he would need. A correctly date-coded
block, heads and intake were located in Ohio through the Glasgo family and became the
basis for the engine restoration. The GTO was an early-build car delivered in late 1965,
and came from the factory with a WS-code Tri-Power 389.

That meant that the late-season XS package was not available, but could legally be
added with over-the-counter parts. That is what Knafel did back then and that is what
Merle did as well. The engine was rebuilt by Indian Adventures to XS specs, which included the 9785744 (H) camshaft. A set of 1.75-inch primary 4-tube Doug's headers with
3-inch collectors were installed, which were legal for racing, as was an electric fuel
pump .
Incidentally, the XS package included a functional Ram Air system with an opened-up
hood scoop, pan and seal, which were also added. A Muncie M-21 close-ratio four-speed
transmission was rebuilt for the "Tin Indian" and mounted behind a Centerforce clutch
and pressure plate. Finishing off the tranny components was a Hurst Competition Plus
shifter and Line-Loc, like the GTO had in its racing days.
The GTO's chassis was restored to stock by Ed Centofonte, and the only deviations from
factory were the pieces used in its preparation for racing. They included rear air bags,
Monroe 90/10 front racing shocks and the Hurst 14x6 wheels, shod with 8.00/8.50x14
M&H Racemaster slicks in the rear and 205/75 R15 Firestone whitewalls up front. The
stock 10-bolt rearend was rebuilt with a 2-pinion Safe-T-Track differential and 4.33:1
gears, just like when it was raced.
9/19 Restored interior sports a wood wheel that dresses up the otherwise spartan accommodations.
Inside, the original black Morrokide bucket seat interior was restored by Merle, with the
help of American Auto Seat Upholstery, who installed the ACME headliner. Since the
GTO was a radio and heater-delete car, optional equipment was very sparse, except for
the wood wheel, which was retained for the restoration. Merle used PUI door panels and
carpeting from ACC, giving a correct and factory-fresh appearance.. Note the heater and
radio delete plates.
Obviously, in order to return the "Tin Indian" to its race appearance, Merle had to be
meticulous in the duplication of its 1966 paint scheme, but there are some notable
changes. Using photographs from the era and consulting with the Knafel family, Merle
had Buddy Healy lay down the urethane enamel in black and white mixed with clear.
John Cloutier applied the gold and silver mylar and replicated all the lettering and decals. The overall paint scheme is representative of later in the '66 season, when Quaker
State came on as a sponsor. Earlier in the year, the GTO was raced with a white body
and black lettering. Also, note the driver's side is painted to match how the scheme
would have looked if Arlen drove the GTO, and the passenger side represents how it was
lettered later when Doc Dixon drove it.

On August 23rd the AIIPC Edmonton held their annual members’ Barbecue at the home
of Doug and Sandy Kandt.
With an attendance of just short of 100 people, it was our best turnout thus far. With
temperatures in the mid 20s we had a beautiful day for food and socializing.
President Shawn Genge and his crew from Torch Industries did a fantastic job in cooking
up the Smoked Rib Eye, Bacon Wrapped Pork, Cajun Shrimp and Salmon! Along with
the wide selection of veggies, salads and desserts, which were supplied by various members… it was a meal fit for royalty!
The backdrop of our classic Pontiacs and the shade of the AIIPC tents made for a great
atmosphere for visiting. Someone even brought a bouncy castle for the kids. The day
was truly enjoyed by everyone there!
A huge Thank You goes out to Doug and Sandy for hosting us and to Shawn and crew for
cooking as well as everyone else that brought food and helped with set up, take down and
clean up.
Let’s keep it going and make it bigger and better next year!

The Story Of Bill Moffat's 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible.
1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible. 1 of 2178 Produced YS Block.
The auto was purchased in 1995 in Fort St. John, British Columbia. I am the third owner.
The Car is Originally from Vancouver, BC. It has a 400 cubic inch original motor, 400
turbo transmission, also original power windows (rare option) and tilt steering.
It was restored in 1990 according to receipts produced by the second owner which I purchased.
My search began in 1994 for a convertible (when the top comes down the price goes up).
While browsing through the Auto Trader I came across a small photo and minimal caption
of a 1970 Pontiac GTO convertible for sale.
I immediately called the seller and spoke with him and asked questions about the car as
the only picture in the auto trader publication did not serve the GTO any justice. Also the
car was located in Northern British Columbia. After a lengthy conversation with the
owner, I realized that one of my cousins resided in Fort St. John. He owned 2, 1970
GTO'S. One was totaled. The other was a black hard top. (The one that was totaled was
supposed to be my parts car). Regrettably he sold it on me.
I spoke with my Cousin and asked him to go and take a look at MY convertible. He called
me back an hour later and stated "you better get up here or I'M going to BUY IT!!" I
stated to him "NEVER MIND Or there will be some serious "RAMifications".
So Sybil and I made the journey to Fort St. John the next weekend with cash in hand.
Drove the car, loved the car, bought the car. I even tried to JEW him down (Surprise!)
$500.00 he said
"NO WAY". The
car was in pristine
shape with Judge
stripes. He also
told me If I ever
decided to sell it
down the road to
call him first.
I added both a
front and rear
spoiler to the car.

In July of 2011, we attended the 32nd GTOAA International Meeting in Portland Oregon with Dave and Susan Scragg. Shawn and Kat Genge, Bernie and Donna Niska
(from Saskatchewan) and Janice and Jules Prebille. WOW DID WE HAVE FUN!!! It
was quite the week. Judging was like I have never seen before. There had to be 150
GTO'S and Lemans's.
Bernie won Gold, Shawn and
Dave both won Silver in Concourse Judging. We also won
for Club Participation.
On July 4th, Independence Day,
I dressed up as Captain America with flag cape, flag pants,
shirt and bandana. Sorry, no
pictures that I am aware of!! I
unintentionally offended a few Americans as I was wearing the Flag on my shoulders.
In Spring of 2012 while on our way to meeting AIIPC Brothers from Calgary, my rear
driver side tire blew out at 70 Miles per hour causing damage to the rear quarter panel
before even getting to Ponoka. WHAT A FUN TOW RIDE BACK TO SPRUCE GROVE!
The car was in the shop for about 4
weeks.
In May of 2014 coming back from
The Garrison Military Base driving
down the Anthony Henday going
South with Dave Scragg and Doug
Kandt a landscaping gravel truck
was gaining on the trio and passed
us. We were doing 60 miles per
hour and he passed us. Doug
floored it, Dave floored it and as I
floored it the truck hit an overpass
bump and sprayed me with several shovels full of rocks. Took out my windshield,
chrome and signal lights. A lot of chips to the hood, front fenders etc. I got in front of
the tandem and STOPPED him right in the middle of Anthony Henday, demanded his
company name, his name etc.. GRRRRR!
I took the car to Joey's Place for the repairs. I did other work over and above the damages, including full paint job (soft restoration). This process took approximately 3
months to complete. I got it back in time for the Grove Cruise August 2014.
Also put on a new white convertible top in 2014. A birthday gift from Sybil.

In the fall of 2014 an appraisal was done by "CAR GUYS" Terry Beuerlein. It appraised
at just under $70,000.
Spring of 2015, Jerry Stanic and myself wet sanded and polished the orange peel out of
the paint.
Over the past 20 years we have meet a lot of amazing people, friends and CAR NUTS!
There is nothing like them, GOOD PEOPLE. Life long friendships.
We hope to enjoy MANY more years of amazing times and people.
And this Goat is for sale, Only if the "PRICE IS RIGHT"!
If not, please have your pet Spayed or Neutered!!

HELP IS NEEDED FROM OUR MEMBERS!
My name is Mark Kapusta and I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I purchased a 1946
Pontiac about a month ago and I have a few questions regarding. The previous owner
said that the vehicle was from Canada and that the model is a Torpedo. The vehicle
identification number (VIN) is as follows: 6201905439. My question is I'm not sure if it
is a Torpedo or a Fleetleader.
Also, where exactly in Canada was the vehicle assembled. I've done some research online, however a lot of the information contradicts itself.
I can send some pictures if that helps, also my cell phone number is 414-975-5094.
Thank you for your time,
Mark

President’s Message
With August coming to an end the Show and Shine Season, Our 5th Annual Summer BBQ
was a hit with close to 100 AIIPC members and family members enjoying awesome food
and cars. I apologize for not talking to everyone but the demands of feeding everyone my
time was limited, I hope everyone had a great day.
With less than 2 weeks to our 6th Annual Show and Shine it looks to be the biggest and
best every yet, Mike Launer and his team have spent many hours to plan and organize
this event. I would like to see over 100 cars. Don Wheaton, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC have
been incredible in supporting our club for this event.
As we wind down the cruise season, it’s time to think about winterizing out vehicles, these
are a few steps that have helped me in the past, with tips from Hagerty Insurance.
Before Storage
Select a dry, dark location for storage — preferably with limited access. Concrete flooring
is best at keeping away moisture. If you must store your car on a dirt floor, place a plastic
barrier under the vehicle, and place carpet pieces or plywood under the tires.
Give the vehicle a good wash/wax. Putting on and removing a vehicle cover will lead to unwanted scratches if the car is dirty.
Fill the fuel tank (preferably with premium) and add fuel stabilizer. Be sure to run the
vehicle to move fuel stabilizer into the carburetor, fuel rails, injectors, etc. The fuller the
tank, the less room there will be for air, which carries moisture that can lead to fuel contamination and possibly rust within the tank.
Change the oil and filter right before putting away the vehicle. The clean oil will reduce
the risk of harmful contaminants working away at your engine during hibernation — and
you’ll be ready to go in spring.
Check the antifreeze.
Add air to the tires.
If you're storing your car offsite, some insurance companies require you to report the address of the offsite location. Check with your insurer to determine your policy's requirements.
I s s u e

When Storing
Place baking soda refrigerator packages in the interior and trunk areas. To keep insects and vermin out of the car, put a plastic bag over the air cleaner/air inlet and exhaust pipe(s). You also can cover these with aluminum foil and tape securely. Place
mothballs in the tailpipe and around the outside of the car, or insert steel wool in the
tailpipe.
Place the vehicle on jack stands. This step avoids tire flat spots and adds longevity to
the suspension because it is not supporting the vehicle’s weight during storage.
For your battery, take one of the following actions: Unhook the battery by removing the
negative cable first and store it separately — never on a concrete floor and preferably
where it will not freeze; or leave the battery in the car and put a battery tender on it, if
there is power available. That way if you want to start it a few times in the winter you
don’t have to put the battery in and out.
Close all of the windows.
If the vehicle will be exposed to freezing temperatures, be certain no personal items
that may freeze or burst are left in the vehicle.
There are varying theories about periodically starting the vehicle. This writer feels
unless you get the engine up to operating temperature for a good 10-plus minutes to
burn off the water vapors that initially develop at startup-cold operation, starting is not
a good idea. Anything less will leave water in the combustion chamber and all exhaust
components.
Bring Your Pontiac Back to life.
Charge the battery for a solid 24 hours. When returning the battery to the vehicle, attach the positive cable first.
Once your car is uncovered, inspect it for any signs of insect or vermin damage.
Remove the baking soda units. If you forget them, they may spill during driving.
It’s a good idea to check for floor leaks, check all fluid levels, and check the tire pressures.
Remove plastic bag (aluminum foil) from over air cleaner/air inlet and exhaust pipe(s).

President’s Message Continued
Apply the brakes ensure they work and that you have a good pedal. The steel brake
lines can rust out and leak, and vermin can chew through the rubber brake hoses.
Start the vehicle and check for any fluid leaks.
Give it some extra time to warm up, and check the lights, horn, etc., while the temperature begins to rise. Drive it slowly for a mile or so. Some components such as transmissions and rear-ends require movement for full/proper lubrication.
After driving a bit, check it again for leaks, etc.
Your car cover may have become dusty over the long winter months — give it a good
cleaning according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
I hope to see everyone at our show on Sept 12 2015 at Don Wheaton Chevrolet, Buick,
GMC on Whyte Ave.

1954 2 door Pontiac coupe that is all original. It has the 6 cylinder flat head, with
almost 51,000 miles.
It runs like a top, nice and quiet no problems. I've done plugs & wires, re-cored the
Rad, belts, hoses, and an electric 6 volt fuel pump. (I don't know how to fix the
original and this is more reliable.) It's also a 3 in the tree. Original interior that shows
a 10/10 which is hard to find. All rubber seals, electrical wires etc is 100% good.
No rust at all , it runs on a set of bias ply tires yet from 1966. I have part of a receipt,
and are in perfect shape and kept out of the sun. Here are some pictures. It is appraised at $7,000.00 but I will consider $6,000.00 obo. I think that's fair as a quad is
