Typical FL beach car...bet the car was less than 1 mile from the saltwater....seen that set-up many times here in the Tampa Bay area.....yuk...what a shame....was probably "gonna restore that car someday" car

Jack Peters 12-15-2010 03:47 AM

Or maybe it has been in the salt water during a hurricane? In a flood?

Seems like it is rather high priced.

Wow!

They must have some of them metal eatin termites there! ;)

Do you think there is any way this car will be restored? It looks disasterous and with the prices Judges are getting today, I can't see anyone tackling it.

That was a great looking car when new! I suspect we will see it again as a rebody.

Talk about the rust bucket fixer-upper.

I need a tetanus shot just looking at this thing. That is a shame that would be a real nice looking goat. Seems kinda high and it looks like it was under water at one point.

Burgundy with red interior...haven't seen that color combo before. Has anyone seen a 69 GTO with burgundy exterior and red interior?

The Boss 12-15-2010 05:47 PM

Those red interiors get darker & darker over time......why?

i think that's basically what the seller is saying in response to one of the questions....

This car can be repaired, I would start with top and tail which would be by taking a tempest le mans or gto body and cut it between the windshield post, and floor, and put it on that frame

With a factory white vinyl top as well,very unique color combo on this Judge....wow!

Wow...what a shame. There were a ton of old musclecars in a small desert town in CA that I lived in for 3 years, a '70 Cutlass Rallye 350 and a '70 Challenger RT/SE to name two. They would sit in yards, with the "not for sale, gonna restore it someday" line from the owner. At least with those I knew they'd never rust out from sitting in the desert.

CDN2PLS2 12-15-2010 07:11 PM

WOW! That car would be Striking New. Too Bad.

Ron Landis 12-15-2010 09:57 PM

I was trying to buy a '67 Camaro SS in these colors. A friend of mine was killed in the car before I could get it away from the owner. Looked sweet...IMHO.

Ron Landis 12-15-2010 09:59 PM

Yup...

shipping on this one is about forty-two cents!

70455HOVert 12-16-2010 01:44 AM

How much do you think would come back from the media blaster?

davesjudge 12-16-2010 12:59 PM

And someone has a bid in at 7500.00 ?????? :confused:

Well if you had even a semi good GTO/LeMans and if the # matching motor and trans were useable I can see someone buying it and swaping the tags and drivetrain. Presto changeo you have a nice numbers matching judge worth 30K or so, well worth the $7500price.

Hunter98TA 12-17-2010 09:50 AM

That is the shape of the 68 GTO convt parts car I bought a number of years ago. The seats came out along with the floor and some of the frame rails. It had been outside without the hood on and the top down for 18 years!!

Engine, trans and posi rear were just fine after a rebuild!

We have a 69 Lemans convert in that color scheme at the shop.

Dlivry 01-09-2011 11:20 AM

I doubt the frame is any better off than the rest of the body. about all you're getting for $7600 is a vin tag and a pile of scrap

Wideone 01-09-2011 11:21 PM

It looks like how I feel! Maybe I'm just ready for a re-body too!

Nickv 01-19-2011 02:55 PM

Not even worth it in my opinion. GTO Judge or not. If it was a much rarer RAM IV 4 speed car, maybe..
