"Clone" would be the wrong word. A better description would be "tribute car". It seems like a lot of hard work was put into this car, without anyone checking, or caring about correctness. Maybe someone rebuilt a real Judge, and used their parts car, and parts left over to make this, in hopes of recouping funds from the project.

All that aside, as long as one is not planning to use it as a points show car, it looks like a fun car to drive. Back in the day, these cars were made "non-stock" almost as soon as they left the dealership. Hooker headers, Hurst Shifters, Edelbrock intakes, and Cragar mags were the norm. Bigger engines were pulled from salvage yards to replace the perfectly fine engine under the hood. Why, because it made the car faster, better looking, and more fun to drive, while adding a touch of personality. The problem with this "Judge", is someone tried to pass it off as something it isn't. I don't care about "points" cars, nor do I care about "clones". Sure, I have a GTO hood on my Tempest, and a 455 under that hood, but you won't find a GTO badge on it, because it's not. Now, tribute cars like a GTO station wagon or GTO El Camino are different to me. That's someone's vision of what they feel should have been. If I were to buy this "Judge clone", I'd remove the Judge decals, and drive it as a GTO with some Judge parts.

"Roaring" That's what it sounds like when the air cleaner lid is flipped over.

Second time that car has shown up for sale in the last 18 months. Same owner still, I'm sure.

This guy sells junked, scrap cars on eBay. He shows several pictures of paperwork from martiauto.com describing the car production notes, then maybe one poorly taken picture of a clapped out shell of a car with no parts left on it. Check out his listings.
