I see conflicting info on this on the net. It has been over 40 years since I owned the car and it was only for a short time but that is what I recall having.

I was later told they only made 17. Is this correct?


In 1970 there were 17 455 Judges made. 3 were convertible.
But all were automatics.



In 1971 there were 17 convertible Judges made (with 455 HO's), and 3 of them were convertibles.



Now if you have the VIN and hopefully pics of this car it may help?

Hmmm....

Mach IV with the tunnel port heads.
On a 455 I guess.



Didn't someone on PY own one of the Judges in Two Lane Black Top movie?
