I had him sign a blank page in the back of my repop owner's manual at the Year One Experience but that was as close as I'd let him get to my car! Agree with Pat - doesn't add value and in the case of the 71 Judge 'vert, somewhat detracts from its classy status.

I've got some books and pics that Jim has signed for me at various times over the years when I've talked with him, but I've never really wanted him to sign anything on one of my cars.

If my memory serves me correct the 71 'vert for sale in Charlotte was restored in the very early 90's for a friend of mine out of Florida. It looks like it has held up very, very well. I cannot speak to anything of the correctness. I do remember the approximate cost of the car and restoration at the time. I won't reveal it, but even though we thought it was expensive at the time, you wouldn't believe how little money it actually was.
