Bunkie Knudsen Talladega Restoration Unveiled at Forge Muscle Car Classic
Richard | Sep 11, 2011 | Comments 0
We just returned from another fantastic Forge Muscle Car Classic in Sevierville, TN. The car count was low but the quality was high. This year as last the show incorporated the Talladega Family Reunion for all Ford Talladega and Spoiler cars. There were over 20 of these fabulously rare cars in attendance and had center stage for the entire event. Foremost among these was the Michael Troell owned Bunkie Knudsen car. This is one very special car, it was the personal car of 1969 Ford President, Bunkie Knudsen, and built at his personal request and to his specifications.
In a few days we will go into more detail on the show and this special car but for now here are a few teaser photos to wet your appetite.

About the Author: I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California. The time there was very rewarding but the urge for a slower pace moved us to Tennessee a few years ago and we love it. I have been into cars since I was old enough to remember. I don't have a brand loyalty although I do prefer American Muscle. As long as it has four wheels on it I get excited. Few men are lucky enough to be able to share their passion for cars with the woman they love. Fortunately, my wife Katriana is also a gear head and many of our activities revolve around the cars. When they don't we are usually out with our miniature donkeys. You can see more about that part of our lives at http://www.LegendaryFarms.com.
