You mentioned you couldnt find the VIN on the block. If it is a Fremont plant car, the VIN could be much higher on the block, not where all the books show it.
My convert is Sierra Yellow too. |

OPH, this is the car I was mentioning. Is it the same as the one you looked at?

"2 more weeks"
I went to see them again tonight and the owners say they want two more weeks to decide.. I am attaching a pic of the car and would love for anyone who knows to give me a better idea of its value. Thanks in advance.

I like it!!!
Since it is a Judge and seems fairly untouched (as in original), I'd say it stands a good chance of being worth their hold out price. Especially!!! if the pans aren't rusted to nothing. I really got a kick out of upper radiator hose clamp, the car has a good feel about it. Thanks for posting the pics. Steve |

Shane:
Based off of their current restored value and a few assumptions: 1) PHS documentation 2) Correct Drivetrian 3) Frame is solid. (Looks to have very little body thru damage) I’d say 35 to 40K in that condition. Could be higher if it was put on Ebay and enough interest is generated. Brian |

Well Shane, I was hoping you would be the owner of the car now, too.
The pictures are incredible, I'm kind of flipping out over here. Many many moons ago I lived in a mobile home park that backed up to some railroad tracks. Never found anything like that car near the tracks though. Usually just old rusty Fords and wrecked Chevys. I expected the car to look MUCH worse. My heart goes out to you, in 2 weeks a lot of things can happen with a newly acquired 1970 Judge Convertible that is intended to be sold. In 2 weeks you can blown so far out of the picture you won't even want to think about this ever again. 15k is good for that car Shane. Maybe they are waiting on the title first, could be a complication with it or the way they acquired the car ?? I expected MUCH worse than I see. The car looks to be un-touched as original and you said it still has the WS engine and 4 speed, Ram Air pans are even still in place. Gotta tell you I'm really digging the car you found. If they advertise it right, you are a goner. Cleaned up a little, with air in the tires and moved to a better spot - up for auction with a detailed description of the drivetrain pieces and part numbers and a copy of PHS would push the car to around 2 or 3 times more than you have offered AS-IS. Man, that is one HE|| of a find with the original drivetrain, the body/interior condition is sort of secondary really. Shane, how familiar are you with GTO's and how did you find out about this car ? Are you trying to get it as a keeper ? I don't need the car, I have too many already. But I don't mind helping you try to get it. I am in North Carolina and would like to come see car after you buy it. NOW GO GET IT MAN

Shane,
Even if you had to borrow the money from the bank you had better buy that thing now! Like BVZ says you could easily double if not triple your money if you decide to not keep it. Most of us can relate to the rust scale falling off of the bottom of the hood & laying on top of the core support! My 70 had that option also! Good luck with getting her! Steve |

Do they live in the 'wobbly box' (trailer) next to the car? I'm betting they're going to try to watch ebay to get an idea on how much it's worth. In the mean time some slick dealer might try to snag it too. A title issue was my thought too.
I'd trade you a manual trans '70 RA III Judge with original motor--totally complete, running driving car for it. Last edited by PonchoV8; 08-30-2005 at 11:03 PM. |

DON'T let this one be the one that you say "I shoulda' bought that car". An excellent find at twice the price!
Good luck!

That Ain't a Basket Case Car Shane
Hey Shane, I forgot to tell you after you posted the pictures, that car ain't quite a basket caser. This 70 Hardtop is a basket or maybe even a casket.
70 Judge Casket Basket If you have a good enough woman to sell for enough to buy the car - sell her quick. You can buy another one later, maybe get a better deal on a newer model even. ... i dunno you might end up with a fat divorcee who already has 3 kids of her own. Be careful. Sell your house and move into the trailer park or maybe another mobile home park not so close to the RxR tracks. LoL . Sell the house and live in a rental storage unit - one for you, one for car ? To be honest, I lived in the mobile home park I mentioned earlier by the railroad tracks for about 8 or 9 years back in my youth and thats how I had money saved all the time to buy all the cars I have and have had. I owned the trailer and rented the lot. I'd almost go back and live there some more for the Jvert you found. 1 of about 150 +/- Jverts built in 70. (maybe someone will post the actual number, it's documented) All the Luck in the World to you Shane. |
