Title: Bunkie Knudson's Boss 9 lost

Interesting  8)

I have a couple of photos of that car that are in this video, that I found a couple of years ago on the net.

I wonder if this is a story like the Jim Morrison '67, and will it ever be found ?

It's probably sitting in some old Ford employees pole barn in the middle of MI.

^^^ that was a fascinating read, thanks for the link Mike.

Of course, it was a Cougar Eliminator hood scoop, not an XR-7 (hood scoops were not a part of the XR-7 package).

According to Charlie Henry's Kar-Kraft book, that first owner contacted Kar-Kraft because of a cylinder head problem, but because it was a prototype with cast-iron heads they were unserviceable.

Cool stuff.

I have been Facebook friends with Wes for sometime and have talked to him Via messaging on a few rare cars like the one of 2 Twister Ranchero. Wes owns a very rare B9 prototype also that Ed has conversed with him about. Now I need to start searching barns near me. Missed out on Tony King's vert it would be nice to find this car or the Heinz Prictor 69 Black/red interior sunroof R-code Mach1 I saw in a Brighton Mi Pole barn about 36 years ago and haven't seen it since.  Gary
