Default Last Judge Convertible

The Yenko boys are having some discussion about this '71 Judge Convertible, reportedly the last of the 17 'verts built.

I did enjoy seeing the documents from PMD to the original owner discussing the build, but my main motivation in posting is to bring the discussion over here to a Pontiac forum (where it belongs).

Dr. Lane's car was the last Convertible Judge.
As Mike posted somewhere, I think the last Judge (HT) was the orange car?

The added note on the letter from Pontiac in 71 looks a bit suspect, completely different typewriter font and the signature looks forced. Not saying its not legit, just my first impression.

How could the General sales manager know in April 71 how many judge ragtops had been built (or why would he have the slightest interest in that info). BTW, even if I'm right that the letter was bogus it probably is the last judge ragtop anyhow just by the build date etc

Beautiful and interesting car regardless!
