Nothing would surprise me about these RamIV Jverts .
I think the number is 12 of the 1970 models known ... something in that range.
Believe it is also the same total number that were produced.

I have 6 Auto and 6 Manual in my file history.
Pictures of 11 of them.
No pics of what i think is supposed to be an Orbit Orange Automatic, don't have anything on that one at all.

4spd Pepper Green/Green/White Top
4spd Pepper Green/Black/Black Top - unrestored last pic i saw
4spd Orbit Orange/Saddle/Gold Top
4spd Red/Red/White Top
4spd Red/Sandlewood/White Top
4spd Silver/Black/Black Top

Auto Atoll Blue/Blue/White Top
Auto Black/Sandlewood/Sandlewood Top
Auto Granada Gold/Sandle/Sandle Top
Auto Orbit Orange/ ? / ?
Auto Silver/Black/Black Top
Auto White/Black/Black Top - unrestored last pic i saw

Of the 11 i have info on, all are either restored - or need restoring.
Unless the OrbitO Automatic is a pampered life sole survivor. idunno


I've only seen 2 RamIV GTO Verts
1 4spd
1 Auto

Full total for 1970 RamAir IV GTO/Judge Convertibles is listed to be 37
23 GTO Convertibles are hiding
maybe all are in Oklahoma

My first view of the one I now love. She sat like this for 43 years in the back of a garage. This picture still excites me like it was yesterday.

For 1970
the only Black Ram4 JVert i know of is the Automatic car.
Black / Sandlewood Int. / Sandlewood Top

I think the guy Tony "something another" who was a dealer (maybe custom classics) - had it Frame Off Restored.
Then sold it for whopper-jack money. (almost 15 years ago)
Whomever bought it did take it to at least a couple of shows going by the scenery of pictures #2 (probably POCI) and #3 (probably MCACN)
Haven't heard anything else about it since then.

Extremely beautiful car
Definitely a Bo Derek of the automotive variety.

Telly or UncleJ might know more about its past, present, and future.

Picture 2 & 3 also have it wearing Uniroyal Tires. Never seen a 70 GTO/Judge with those before.

That was my car. And I never claimed it was real. What I DID say is: "It sure looks like it doesn't it". A few people wanted to buy it from me and I declined all offers. It was a real GTO Convert, born with the std WT 400 and an M20 4 speed.
Coronado gold with saddle interior and white top. I had a WW block and bought a set of 614's and then painted it black. Sorry to burst your bubble. I sold it a few years later with the original engine back in it. It went to the Chicago area.

Thanks for the kind words BVZ. Sold my business a few years ago and now have the time to catch up on these great forums especially during this virus lockdown. I’ll post phs for both tomorrow.... VG is loaded! The guy that has the original engine in his garage shared great stories of how it was the street race king of So Cal back in the day.

Here's mine. It has only four options: 1)The Judge package, 2)Tinted glass-windshield only, 3)M20 wide-ratio 4-speed, 4)Heavy duty springs and shocks. I'm planning to build a Ram Air V tribute with it. Seems like the perfect car for it to me.

This was a WT1 that was for sale in New Hampshire in 2010 maybe?? I have more pics of it on photobucket... Asking price was $15,000. Polar White with black interior, 4 speed car. Needed some body work and the PS quarter needed to be replaced.

Is /was this the same car ?

This one was very original in a lot of respects, but did have an SR Block.

Wow - that one has the rear stripes installed backward too. I never realized how often this happens.

Its happening so much the last few years i think its becoming a new trend/fashion.
Once you spot it, you can't un-see it anymore, it gets worse each time you look at the car. < dark glasses still doesn't help
