ebay 69 RAIV car opinion
 

I have a friend who wants to bid but wanted the expert opinion on it. Thanks,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...6ca818&vxp=mtr

I'd like to see the PHS on it?
And more engine pics?

The ad blurbs toward the bottom mentions a WS Tripower engine in it?
:confused:

Like they copied a lot of stuff from the internet?

Car looks sharp, but for that price, probably want to really check into it?

:)

Im certainly no expert, but my "flipper buddy" had the only Red on Red, matching number 69 Ram Air 1V GTO {not Judge} conv a few years ago. He paid 30k around 2000 I believe from Auburn, sold it for around 40k. It got up to around 165k a few years ago, and resold at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in Jan for around 125k. I also know Jake Scott wanted around 200K for his Gold certified 69 Non Maching number Judge red Conv a year or so ago {i believe Ram Air III} AT 225k the Red North Dakota car seems to be high. Just my opinion. Thanks again

That car (Matador Red Judge) was owned by a forum member here back in the mid to late 80's. Somewhere I have a video of it and a few other cars that he had for sale at the time. The red 69 was in the rough but eventually restored to an extremely high level. The eventual owner that had the car restored was very particular. He had a few very high level restored Pontiacs. Unfortunately, he passed away and these are likely being sold by his family. They also have a 65 Tripower convert for sale.

Didn't he restore Brewster's old 73 SD TA 4 speed to its amazing level too?

Yep. That is the same guy.

so its a legit RA IV car?

No question its a great car with a great restortion, but is it 225k ebay material?

Neil had restored both this 69 Judge and the 4-speed SD that Brewster just sold. He was very particular and both cars were beautiful! The restoration on this 69 was completed about 10 years ago.

This car is Neil Coffell's car. His widow Elaine is selling the car and must be using the dealer in Nebraska to market it. I do not have the PHS however it is a real car and formerly a GTOAA concours award winner. Neil used to drive it into the Muscle Car Classic with white cotton gloves on. A true trailer queen and top level car. If anyone is interested, this is a real deal RAIV Judge in an unusual color.

thanks

The widow needs to get one of you guys to write the ad for her.
It would probably garner a lot more traffic.

(or tell the salesman what to write)

:)

Does it still have the original WW in it?

Also, the rear gears are 3.90?

:confused:

3 of Neil's cars are being offered on Ebay. The 3rd one being the blue SD T/A. It does say Make an offer on all the cars. The family has tried to downsize the collection for some time now and I'm sure its hard to know exactly the best way to sell these special rare cars without paying a boat load of commission. Restoration on Neil's collection is second to none.

You can see the high levels of quality and detail all over it.
Even the mufflers were NOS units

It may very well be the only 69 Ram Air IV Judge in Matador Red
Have seen several Ram III Matador Red Judges - but this is the only Ram IV i have ever seen myself in that faktry color .


The text in the listing does need some good editing.


Same car same quality - in Carousel Red - would probably be 200 'ish +/-

Mike Dahl had done the SD and Jim Mott just freshened up the judge right before Neils untimely passing.
The car is awesome and I believe still sports its correct ww block.
Neil was a perfectionist with his cars and that 65 Irish Mist is another Trailer Queen.
Hope they find a good home.

Neil was an avid buyer of NOS parts. He probably loaded the car up with them. He was extremely particular. I saw him with the car at one of the conventions years back. It is extremely nice.
It MAY be the only Matador Red RAIV Judge WITH a black vinyl top but I do know of another non-vinyl Matador RAIV 4 speed Judge in MI.
I personally am not a fan of vinyl tops on Judges. JMO

judge
 

very sad the passing of the former owner.. Reminds us all, life is so short.
The one in mich is a very nice car, SR block, as I recall..

The car is really nice but I don't see the Ram Air IV decales on the hood. it may be the lighting on the hood but I don't/can't see the decals the go on the hood.They should be either black or evevn whiter do

awsome car, i remember seeing it at the nationals, owner was extremely particular on everything top of the line car!

There Black on this car and located correctly.
