I love the age-old question: "What do you think that's worth?" The answer is, and always has been, the same - whatever the buyer thinks it's worth. Seller's asking price and Buyer's offer price are often different. Each party wishes to maximize value for their interest. Not rocket science here. While it is easy to understand that a faction of people will regard this car as no different from any other 71 Judge HT, there is a faction that will regard it higher due to special paint, due to single family ownership, due to originality and due to being the very last of breed (if can be proven).

So...would the car likely sell for more than a '71 GTO Judge of similar provenance, miles, originality due to these special circumstance? I'd venture to answer YES. How much more is open for debate and is purely speculative. It could ignite a bidding war between collectors. What if someone owned '71 GTO judge #1 and wanted 71 GTO Judge # LAST. He'd have book ends. Or someone with 1969 GTO Judge #1 and 1971 GTO Judge # Last - same issue but for an era.

To think that this car will be regarded the same as "any 1971 GTO Judge" is an unwise stance. It will be regarded higher...how much is unknown.
