"IF" and I can't over emphasize the "IF" - it turns out to be a Judge convertible, 10 grand is actually a fair price for a basket these days.
You really need to do your homework on the car before you drop a dime though. The $35-$45 PHS documentation is the very first money you need to spend regardless of how original everything appears. A standard GTO convertible could get you in serious trouble at 10 grand for a basket.
If you are not very familiar with GTO's and how to identify the drivetrain parts, you should speak up and ask what things to look for so you will be better prepared when you go back to the car again. Stripes, stickers and spoilers can be put on any car at anytime. Always the possibility it could have been "transformed" early in it's life. The PHS is the BOTTOM LINE.
The guys on this forum can help you in many ways. Naturally, we all hope that it IS a true Judge. Good Luck
