Note that Ro can not remember, in Hot Rod Magazine Dec. 2001, what year he rode along with the Royal guys. You know it is this age thing that catchs up with all of us...Or is because we have done so much in our lives that it gets foggy after a while. Ya, that's it...LOL
Note that this was originally the Lime Light Green with white interior Ram Air IV, rear antenna, Press/ Engineering/ Mule/ Prototype (whatever you want to call this GTO) that has had different engines, paint, spoiler and Judge Stripes etc. This GTO hadn't recieved it's hotter engine set ups yet. The Blue GTO bObcat Ram Air V was the quicker of the two in this artcile.
Some one on another thread liked playing semantics with me: Mule/Prototype/press/engineering/test/evaluation car, so I'm covering my bases. After all I don't want to get it wrong if he comes to this thread.... LOL

Also, these tests of this car as a Judge where done in the fall of 1968. The first 2,000 "Program" Judges where built in January, 1969 all in one color. After January any color you wanted could be ordered.
