Just trying to clear the air a bit for a possible new member, If you have, or can confirm the existance of a '70 black judge please let it be known... 6 choices for interior color,let us know that also if you can. There is one in Missouri for sale with a red interior for 75K...There is also one in Minnesota with a black interior that I think can be bought for 65K...both RAM III cars(Numbers matching? I think). There is also a Ram IV black interior basic basket case for sale in New York I think for @40K but the original engine is gone. I was interested in how many could actually be documented. Seems to me the rarity of this color needs to be discused a bit further, or I would like it to be.... Thanks, Doug

P.S. I'm still looking for an uncut dash bezel for my '70 Judge, anyone?????

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Doug: you never told me whether you need a/c or non a/c bezel. I'll take your money just as well as anyone else will. So long as you don't paint your car Green.

CDN2PLS2 might have "ballpark" figures on this number for black.

I only personally know of a Triple Black Ram IV 4speed J-Vert, but haven't seen it since 1992 or 1993. Was being stored at a friends building until he moved to another location. It was Sweet !

In my area about 8 out of 10 70 Judges were factory RED that I have known past and present. Like it was the Staple Color 1970 alternative answer for people who didn't get or have chance to buy an Orange one new in 1969.

[allmycarsrjunk]

The car in Missouri is not an original black car.

[dr-doug]

Ok, I have only seen the PHS on the Minnesota car. So there is one documented black '70 judge with a black interior ram air III 4spd. I proclaim myself as the keeper of the knowledge on this info... so there is 1 confirmed black '70 judge.
I doubt if I get too many other contributions of info though, probably 150 cars out there were black, but they all are "the only ones known" with a red interior, or green or blue...wait was there not a RAM IV car with hubcaps lately for sale with a blue interior???

Just as a side bar......Is my judge they only "console delete" HA! car, with a rear defroster and a power seat

[BLKBRD]

I've got a '70 black on black RA III auto Judge.

[sawyer]

The 70 black/red was owned and sold by a member of this forum not too long ago. Then the new owner auctioned the car, along with a 70 orbit car which he owned.
Hey Baron, stop picking on those green cars! You must be jealous.

[1969 Ram Air]

Great list!

[SWEETMUSCLE]

THE BLACK ON RED 70 JUDGE THAT SOLD AT MECUM WAS NOT ORIGINALY BLACK . THERE IS A DOCUMENTED BLACK AND RED RAM AIR IV JUDGE OWNED BY ( PY MEMBER) ALLMYCARSJUNK -

[CDN2PLS2]

I can add two more Black/black Oshawa RA IIIz

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Wonder if Steve Ames has one. Anybody go through his "open house" lately ?

I'd like to see his Cars someday

I think Black will be about the lowest number or real close. Due to most of these Cars being bought to be Driven Daily at that time, Black is a B*tch to keep up on a daily driver. I like Black best on about every year model.

[oxfordsteve]

One passed through my hands in Alabama about 1988 and it was a numbers matching all original black on black with rust holes in the quarters you could through a football through. A good friend bought it and put a rear clip on it-painted it-then sold it for a good profit.

[SpartanMSU]

I think black is middle of the pack. I can think of other colors that are rarer.

[BLKBRD]

I've seen a list that estimated that approximately 125 Black Judge coupes left the factory in '70.

[SWEETMUSCLE]

THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BE RIGHT ON THE MONEY (125 BLACK CARS) . GUESS WHAT I ASKED SANTA ? TO PLEASE PROVIDE THE PY FORUM WITH THE COLOR BREAKDOWN FROM JM AT {PHS} IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT ! ALONG WITH A 1970 BLACK RAM AIR IV CONVERTIBLE -- SPEAKING OF 1970 JUDGE BLACK RAM AIR IV CONVERTIBLE . THE AUTOMATIC RAM AIR IV JUDGE IS GOING TO BE SOLD AT A FLORIDA AUCTION . IT SOLD LAST YEAR CLOSE TO 400K . I WONDER WHAT IT WILL BRING IN NOW ?

[70RAIII]

Can anybody tell me how many RAIII and RAIV judge hardtops were made in 1970. And if possible, 4-speed vs auto?

Reason I ask is that I drive by a hardtop 1970 Judge parked in a backyard in N. Reading Ma about once a week. It is uncovered but not in bad shape as far as I can see. It moves from spot to spot every now and then so I assume it is in running condition. From the street, it looks like might say RA IV on the scoop but I can't get close enough to confirm. I hear through the grapevine the guy is looking for 40K+ as it sits so I'm just wondering how rare this car is in terms of production numbers. I know it worth good money just for being a Judge but all I can find is that there was 3604 judges made in 1970.
