Wondering where 1970 Judge convert is
 
Back in the mid 90s I restored a 1970 Judge convert it was polar white red interior with m-21 and 4:33 gears it was sold new in Ontario Canada so it has Gm of Canada documentation I had it Judged at the nationals in Red Wing Min and then sold it to a guy in California have not seen or heard about it since just wondering how it held up

johnta1 12-24-2018 08:25 AM

Doesn't seem to be any info since last post on it?

Polar White Convertible

This wasn't a WT-7 correct?

:confused:

darren 12-24-2018 09:20 AM

That's correct it was not a WT-7 car it was a polar white Judge convert with power steering power brakes and was ordered with 4:33 gears and a white top

johnta1 12-24-2018 12:42 PM

Still have any pics of it?
Have the VIN or PHS for it?


Sounds like a beautiful Judge, can't imagine it being 'destroyed'.
Probably just relaxing in someones garage/storage unit.

I remember seeing a 70 Polar White/Red Interior Judge at Hot August Nights, Reno, 1999 or 2000.I remember briefly chatting with the owner, who was in his mid 60s and a Doctor.
I believe it was a manual, the top was down and I cant remember too much more as it has been a few years!

johnta1 12-25-2018 08:17 AM

Thanks for the document.

Nice options.

That would have been a very nice car.
Hope someone knows where it is.

Wow very nice car Darren. Did you restore it to sell it back then. Sounds like a keeper to me. Good luck on finding that baby. Marc

darren 12-25-2018 09:53 AM

Hi Marc
At the time I found this car I had a 69 GTO hard top and a 69 Judge and was looking for a 69 convert and was told by a fella I met at collage that his friend had one for sale went to look at it and it tuned out to be a 70 convert judge
So my dad and I restored it and after it was done had it judged it scored well and we enjoyed it for a few years then someone offered us what we thought was a lot of money so we sold it then we bought a 70 judge hardtop and restored it to concourse gold level

Wakepowell 12-25-2018 10:41 AM

Darren,

It has been a long time since we spoke and I hope all is well up north. I remember the Judge and thought I saw it at auction a few years ago. Is this it:

Here are a couple of pics when I found it in 1990 and one after we were done
That auction was in 2016 and it looks like the the car has weathered well I often wondered how the body held up it took a lot of work and head scratching to get it back in shape When we found it I told Dad to leave it were it was but before I could finish my sentence he had paid for it he had more confidence in our combined abilities then I did
The best part was the hunt and chase for parts and all the contacts that a guy makes in this hobby

Quite the transformation...

keith k 12-25-2018 08:59 PM

Wow... that car looks every bit as fantastic as I had imagined it would in those colors.
Darren, you and your dad made a "nice save" with that one!

The car in the picture is not the same car. If you look at the stripes they are the wrong color.

I know the person that owned the car. It was owned by Colin Comer at one time

darren 12-26-2018 06:00 PM

Guilty the pic I posted the stripe looks black but it is the blue stripe and so I believe it is the same car how many white red interior 4:33 Jude converts were sold in Canada
I sold it to a guy in California and he sold it to a dealer I believe

Nice gathering of 70's

Diego 12-29-2018 12:23 AM

In the Classical Pontiac site there is a guy from NorCal who used to own a white/red Judge convertible. Can't remember is name and the CP site changed so......!

johnta1 01-03-2019 11:40 AM

Mecum has this one at Kissimmee

70 Judge Convert

Don't think it is it though.
Also not much of a write-up.

Out of 168 of them made there are at least 3 white/red converts there.


:eek:

Try this link for a white on red convertible https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0119-35...e-convertible/

or this link for a no reserve 70 Judge Convertible
https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0119-36...e-convertible/

johnta1 01-03-2019 10:58 PM

That's strange.
Seems 2 have been taken off.
The one posted has AC, which I knew wasn't the same.
The one I posted (thought so anyway) had no AC.
Another had white with blue interior.


Maybe it sold off site.


:confused:

Great pics! Would you happen to have any other pictures from Red Wing? Our white RAIV is one of the cars pictured in the group. I'd love to find some additional pictures of the white cars together but haven't had any luck.

I'm late to the party here and wasn't sure if I could even log in anymore as it's been years. Also I can't believe I remembered my password. LOL

WOW that gathering pic brings back great memories, I was there when this picture was taken and have my own somewhere. My wife and I came down for this event and stayed for the POCI Nationals also (back to back). Does anybody remember the heat for a few days? It was like 100 degrees with 99% humidity. I remember a Viking's football player died at training camp as a result of heat exhaustion. Crazy!

Now as for the 70 Judge Convertible. I can't tell you where it is now, but I know from Saskatchewan it went to Southern California to a guy named Glenn. How do I know this? Glenn actually contacted me because he was looking for one and knew that I knew of one so after talking to him about it, it peaked his interest. I gave Glenn your contact info Darren and the rest is history.

I didn't know Glenn but he used to post a lot at the Classical Pontiac website. What I remember from that was he had lots of thoughts and opinions on everything and was not shy to share them, so he rubbed some people the wrong way, and kept the moderators busy so to speak. He also posted here too, but maybe not as often. Anyway I heard through the grapevine Glenn sold it but I don't know to who.

Anyway maybe somebody here knew him personally? If so that's an avenue to pursue. I'd love to see where that car is at too knowing the car and how much work you and your dad put into it.

Good Luck

Diego 11-10-2019 09:43 PM

Yes, his name was Glenn! And, yes, I think he sold it several years ago.
