I received an email reply from Jon Wacholtz, the Judge category chairman of GTOAA yesterday.

He is sure they were all silver cad.

The truth probably is that in 1969 the supplier made some black, and some silver.

Go figure !!!

I just did a search on this subject today, as I found that the inside of my preheater shroud is most definately painted black.......and I had always thought they were silver cad plated.

It's definately painted black on my car. This is on a completely original 1970 Judge Ram Air III, Oshawa built.

My RA III Judge did not have its original shroud when I got it, but I have an original RAIII shroud from a 1970 Trans Am that was removed the day the car was purchased. (The original owner gave it to me.) It is black and the paint has more gloss than I expected--definitely not flat.

I'm with you OPH. All of the RAIII cars, both A and F bodies that I have had with original shields, were in black. All of the 70-72 round port cars that I have had were sliver cad.

When I bought my judge in 1985 the sheild was laying in the trunk and it was a little scraped up and scratched but it was painted black. This is a Ram Air 3 car.

From 75 to 80 I had over 15 ram air sets of 69-70 GTO and all were silver cad no black paint.

I bought my first Judge in 1973, RAIII car, and I believe the shroud was black. My original survivor RAIV car with its original shroud is silver colored. The smaller shroud under this one is also silver colored.

RAIVJack: Is yours a 69 or 70? How about some more details and or pix on that survivor Judge?

Just to add to discussion. My 70 Judge RAIV is silver, and my 69 Judge RAIV is black. 69 is a survivor early build car.

Sorry about that it is a 69 that I have had for 28 years. 82K with original clutch and exhaust. Original RAIV #'s motor has never been out of the car. 06A car.

Sounds like a great car and a good resource for information on those RA IV Judges. Any pix or more details??
