Never seen that version of it painted that way.
Wonder if that was done before - or after - Starsky & Hutch Torino came about.

Original air date for this Rockford episode was October 8th 1976.

Starsky & Hutch's first episode - actually a 'Movie of the Week' - aired in April of 1975.

So it appears that whoever painted the Judge must have been a Starsky & Hutch paint job fan.

Or possibly the same studio 'body shop' painted both cars (?).

I'm surprised they could work it in with all the reworking and repainting of the Esprit that Rockford drove.........

It seems like he crashes it or damages something almost every other episode.

Great entertainment!

The guy who has owned the Blacktop Judge for a long time , and did the restoration on it , is a PY member.
I don't know if he bought it directly from the studio , or if someone else did.
Also don't know for sure what paint scheme it had when the studio sold it.

Would be cool if he has pictures of it wearing S&H colors before resto.
I can't remember now if he ever posted any pre-resto pics.
But I know I have never seen it with the S&H paint scheme before.
