That was a "I'll restore it someday, it's not for sale" car.

I'm fickle on the topic of bodies.

--Super rare cars that wouldn't exist without the cowl clip work seem okay for the historic aspect of preserving history. Even if it's worth a fortune after done. Everybody knows the deal on them.

--'tweener cars like Judges being cowl clipped make every other existing car worth less and less special.

--Common cars? I don't care nearly as much, but I'd like to know. I appreciate the Po-leese keeping the pure cars, pure.

I was thinking almost the exact same thing except I was wondering how many times the original owner told someone "No way! I'll never sell that one! Gonna fix'er up and drive it again."
Now look at it.

Yeah, and then finish by taking the cowl and dash from the donor Tempest or LeMans and weld it to the top and tail that has just been removed from the same. When all welded together, remove the repaired car from the original Judge frame and put it all on the frame from the donor Tempest or Lemans.
