Our Judge was a real "barn car" - sitting from 1982 to 1998, covered by lawn furniture, very much dis-assembled in every major segment. We hauled it home in buckets, barrels and the hulk itself on a car hauler - a total distance of 1 block!! This car had been sitting approx 400 feet from our house and I never knew it!! It has a numbers-matching 400 RA-III engine, 4-speed trans. with a non-original 3.73 12-bolt.
Previous owner had raced it back in 1980-81. Mickey & I spent 2 years putting it back together - our way. It's color is 1964 Pontiac "Nocturne Blue". We enjoy it!!
