As far as I'm concerned, how can one even bid on this car with no proof until after winning the auction? And, how does one clone this car?

I agree HFR, after reading so many horror stories about misrepresented vehicles, who in their right mind would bid or seek to put forth a winning bid? Also, what's up with one of one ? Is seller referring to the black on black ? Probably but Doubt that can be proven. The seller seems naive but with 11 bids already, maybe I'm naive ! There is not even any mention of #s matching drive train. If I'm a cash buyer, I'm saying no thanks to this one, hardly any info and far, far too much left to imagination

Since I am pissimest an this auction has some flaws, here is my theory:
The guy runs the auction claiming to have all knowledge of the vehicle. He keeps baiting potential buyers, of which there are many (including myself). You win the auction and go to check out the vehicle. You arrive, inspect the vehicle, and realize that it has issues. Since you have more than likely arrived with a check or cash in hand, the seller tries to make a deal at a lower price. He's betting that you'll bite at the reduced price after having traveled a vast distance and spent the money to do so. I've been there more times than I care to admit. Now, there is always the possibility that this guy is telling the truth and this car is legit. If that is the case, someone on this forum knows the car and its history and is trying to obtain it. Most of these cars have been tracked for many years. I only hope that the next owner is an enthuiast, rather than a flipper. This particular car is one of those few that I've always wanted, but was impossible to find. Now it's impossible to own unless you are a millionaire. |

Even a scan of the PHS with part of the vin covered would help in giving the bidders some peace of mind. A better engine bay shot would be nice too.
$75,000.00 + right now with 9+ days to go. This should be interesting! |

umm ... uhh ... 785k ?
Had no idea I was that far out of the loop. I would have predicted 175-225k on the bidding. 785k - it must just be more of a publicity stunt. By members on this board, there have been no less than 1 auto and 1 4spd Blk/Blk 70 IV Judge. Agree that a scan of PHS with whatever blocked out would be more than just mildly appropriate. |

This seller is perhaps a bit optimistic in his belief that this is the only black 70 Judge.
His answer to a question gave me a chuckle. He was asked for a copy of the PHS, His answer was: "WILL NOT RELEASE VIN OR PHS EXCEPT TO WINNING BIDDER THIS CAR WILL NOT BE CLONED." I am amused by owners who fear their car will be "cloned" or faked if the VIN is discovered by some kind of "thief in the night." The reality is that anyone would be a fool to try to copy a car that is known to exist. Someone looking to fake a car would look for a VIN that was known to have been scrapped, or buy the plates from a scrapped car. This is even more true for the Pontiacs because of the availability of the factory invoice. We are truly fortunate to have this resource, but it does have the unfortunate side effect of giving value to certain VIN tags. We have all heard the stories about 318 Challengers and Cudas being cloned or faked into hemi cars. The perpetrator has a VIN tag altered or remade to designate a Hemi. With no factory records to refer to, this can be hard to prove. In fact, the best protection against a car being faked or cloned is to have the VIN published in a registry or advertised on ebay to show the world that this car exists. I expect this sellers "VIN paranoia" will likely hold down the bidding on his car, and if it does meet reserve, the sale price will be less than if he was willing to relase the VIN and invoice. So in this case, the sellers paranoia may work to the advantage of the high bidder. |

Is it me or is there no rear wheel molding on the driver side rear wheel?
IF REAL one heck of a nice car. It's not really hard to believe that people would bid on a car with no evidence since the buyer will go to the car and have it checked out and if it's a fraud they won't pay for it. If you have that kind of money you have the brains to check it out (I hope!) |

There was a black 70 Judge Ram IV 4-spd in the Charlotte area in the 80s. The owner wrecked it in the mid-late 80s.
It was not a low mileage car and had been run somewhat hard. The car was involved in an accident and hit in the front end. I believe it was hit on the left side fender. I sold the owner a round port manifold for the side that took the hit. I saw the owner at a small swap meet in the early 90s. He was driving a 79 T/A WS6 4-spd and had not restored the Judge yet. I don't know what happened to it after I moved to Raleigh. Mike |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
