Thanks for fixing the pic. I’ve found a crude way to make them rotate correctly in the future.

Here’s the story on the car. In ‘97 I ran a wanted ad for a ‘70 Judge in the KC Star. A teenager called and said he had one we could look at. My Pontiac buddy Gordon and I went to look at it. The guy didn’t want to sell but we discussed what he had. His dad bought it new and in the mid 90’s it turned into a father son project. The dad was killed in a car wreck in ‘96. The project had stalled and I think he just wanted to talk about it with someone. Fast forward 23 years and the son advertised it on Pontiac Pickers. It was a local car so I sent it to Gordon who remembered the car. We looked at it and I bought it. It was in the same place it was 23 years ago. It didn’t look much different, Gordon and I not so much.☹️

The widow and her son seeing the Judge that had been in their family for 50 years rolled out of their garage for the last time.
