steve ames bought it from mitchs mom after he died and then i heard steve sold it to gary cave. anyone know if gary cave has a 69 vedero green convert?

What year did mitch pay $1,350 for a matching numbers, driveable judge convertible? My guess is 1978.

that looks like the car from tulsa did when it left tulsa (it is the one that gary cave now owns. )

I thought it was Midnight, but Voodoo it is.

He had it in a storage shed at about 61st and Garnett when I saw it, I'm going to guess 1984.

[muscle_collector]

it was around 84 or 85 i have pics of it the day we brought it home somewhere and some more pics when we started tearing it apart to restore it. that never happened.

[muscle_collector]

does anyone know what other website has been discussing the ragtop that steved posted the phs on??? a guy told me someone told him there was a lengthy discussion about it somewhere.

[Steve Hoog]

Yenko?

Maybe they got some wires crossed and think the VooDoo JVert picture i posted - represents the PHS that Steve posted.

That confusion could create some interesting dialogue.

(for example - HEY the hood is the only thing left that is original , they laid it on a Green Lemans Vert and swapped the tags over i bet !) etc etc

would make a good eBay listing lol

I still have the PHS on a car here in town I tried to buy for YEARS but finally gave up. It was a 69 Judge conv, ram air 111, 3-speed, no console with bench front seat and no hood tach. Had an am radio and that was IT! Big family had a hard time deciding who actually owned it and it needs a TOTAL resto. Hasnt ran for 15 years or more.

[muscle_collector]

is it the red one?

[jimmy daniel]

Yes it is. It has NO options!

[jimmy daniel]

And no longer has the original motor. They ran it hot years ago and put a regular 400 in it. They have no idea where the original motor is......
Or who actually owns it. No titles in Alabama on cars older than 1975

[jimmy daniel]

Before I started on the resto on the blue Judge I have on Ebay, I offered them a late model, low mileage red convertible Corvette but they passed. I gave up and started on my blue one.

[muscle_collector]

i found that car back in 1985 on my way back from florida picking up a 72 trans am. it was still a really nice car back then. they wouldnt even consider selling it and i never got to look under the hood. they said it hadnt been being driven in several years back then. so is it still there? what is it like now?

[jimmy daniel]

It's ROUGH! It's been sitting on flat tires for 15 years. They moved it somewhere else in town because they got tired of people stopping.

[muscle_collector]

thats too bad, i remember it sitting there and being a really nice car back then. i took a couple of pics (which didnt set well with them)

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I remember Jimmy telling about this 3spd JVert car some years back.
Belonged to an african-american family and is Carousel Red / Orange.

Does that still seem like the same car/scenario Gary ?

[muscle_collector]

no this car was matador or whatever they called the actual red back then.

[muscle_collector]

the low option 69 judge ragtop that this thread started with is going to hit ebay tonight at 10:00

[The Boss]

We'll be watching!

GLWS!

[Ram4king]
