Is the car painted in correct Antique Gold?

Post PHS

Thanks

[tom s]

yes it is.The car at sometime in its lifewas painted red.It has been stripped to bare and then done.Maybe Scott if he has been following will give some history.Tom

I bought the car in December 2005, I think, from the 2d owner in Charlottesville, VA. Still have his address and contact info. He bought it in 1970, used it as his daily driver for many, many years. He had it painted Carousel Red a while back. Parked it in the barn about 15 years ago and started bodywork for a repaint that never happened.

When I bought it, I was surprised how unmolested it was. The block wasn't original, but just about everything else was, including the carb, exhaust manifolds, wheels, etc (i.e., the stuff that most hot-rodders took off the first month they owned it).

I got it mechanically sorted out and used it as a beater. I actually had more fun driving it than I did my immaculate 68 hemi Roadrunner. Sold it to Tom to fund my RAIV GTO resto.

Post here if you have further questions that I can help with.

Tom -

Please mail me the $1.21 - that was not included in the price of the car. You can keep the earrings.

Thanks!

Tom,

Beautiful job so far. I have an Antique Gold Judge, 4 speed, with gold interior. Would love to have a twin, but the wife would kill me.

Question - My Judge had the olive stripes from factory, and when I had it painted in 1982, I went with the Blue-Yellow-Red, because I didn't know any better than to deviate from stock, and because I thought it looked cooler. I see that you chose the black stripes, any reason why? I have tried for years to get a real answer as to what stripes go with what color car, and have had dozens of answers, nome of them firm, even from Paul Zazzarine and Jim Wangers, at a table together in 2005!

Thanks!

Jay
