......and as common as it is...if you look closely you will see the AUCTION people struggling to shut a GTO hood and start to bear down when it doesnt shut after their block time is up!

You would think they would train them to be aware of this fault?

I bet they probably do, but maybe some forget?

I never let shop people shut my hoods if I can help it, but often times there's some monkey that takes it as a challenge to prove he can conquer closing a GTO hood that he knows nothing about.

The only other one to be known by YOU!

There's another RA III Judge with parchment interior and hidden headlights - looks menacing with the blacked out front. There is also a RA IV Crystal convertible - non Judge however.

A 69 IV 4spd Judge "survivor type fixer upper" - CrystaTurq - sold on eBay about 4-5 years ago. Out of New Mexico.

Think it had hideaways.
