I agree with you about the 6 figure price range, poor economy won here as well as Larry. Be good! RJ

I sure hope the car finds its way to Norwalk next month for I would really like to see it.

Thanks to everybody who bid on the car, and thanks to Larry for winning it and providing me with the comfort of knowing it will be going to a good home.

I had hoped to see the car hit 6 figures, but as I said before, I know the market is soft right now. We got the car at a good price so it was still well worth doing the restoration. It was fun to share the process with everybody here as well.

Thanks again to everybody and hopefully this won't be the last time we see this car.

The buyer here got a very, very tasty judge for a good price.
Like others said, WELL SOLD and WELL BOUGHT

Lars1nyc · 07-25-2008, 06:26 PM

Well, the Judge is getting picked up tomorrow from Jason. I should have it by the top of next week. I'll post some comments when it arrives.

WOO HOO!

JLHarper · 07-25-2008, 06:57 PM

Way to go!

Interesting history and its well documented.

Looks like you have a very nice collection already.

Are you the distributor rebuilder by name of LARS?

Lars1nyc · 07-25-2008, 07:06 PM

Nope, I'm King of the Carlo Rossi empire in southern Westchester.

OVERULD · 07-25-2008, 09:19 PM

Hey Larry - Congrats on a great purchase! Can't wait to see your new Avatar! Are you going to feature both cars?

Lars1nyc · 07-25-2008, 10:17 PM

yeah, I'm going to wait until I get my RAIV from John Kane in September. Then I'll do a nice shot with my "Supreme Court" for the Avatar.

I'm so glad (THE Judge) is going to nice home can't wait to see your next project keep us up-dated and thanks for sharing the Judge being restored.

70 PEPPER GREEN · 08-22-2008, 11:39 PM

Jayson the restoration was a work of art

My question is: I have a 70 GTO frame off and I am Ready to work on the rear end. It is hot tanked, media blasted and numbers matching 10 bolt.

I am not shure if the rear detail you have done is specific to 70 Canada Judges or all 70 Gto Rears.

All rear assemblies I have seen are semi gloss black but your frame off was basically natural in color.

I have put this question on 70 GTO and 70 Judge forum to reply hopefully you can shed some light on this

Thanks Again

i talked to a guy that said he went to look at buying the car,said its not all its being cracked up to be.i have not seen the car in person,so i cant say.

Lars1nyc · 08-26-2008, 12:10 AM

Well since there seems to be some dissension on the quality of work done, I will have a prime example to compare it to later next month. Comparing it to my OO 'vert, it seems like Jason did a pretty damn good job for the money but what do I know??

Greg Reid · 08-26-2008, 04:57 AM

I wouldn't worry about it. If you had a time machine and could somehow bring a fresh GTO from the Pontiac plant, someone would find something wrong with it and swear to you that some little detail "was never done that way".
Just enjoy it I say.

gregsgtos2 · 08-26-2008, 08:09 AM

as i said,i cannot say,i have not seen the car myself.Lars1nyc-there will always be someone cutting on any car,no matter how nice.not trying to start any crap,just saying what 1 person said to me.

OVERULD · 08-26-2008, 09:42 AM

Larry:
I agree with Greg Reid; ignore it and just move on. 99 out of 100 people would give a handsome sum to own that car and would consider it to be one of the finest examples of a restored 1970 Judge out there. I think the overwhelming majority of those posting here understand that, so you are definitely in good company. Enjoy those cars!

Now, what's coming in this "Prime Example" later next month??? Are you adding to the herd?

BJ

bajagold70 · 08-26-2008, 09:59 AM

Hey Jason,
Did you restore the carb yourself or was it sent out. I am curious as to the
coloration of the carb body. thanks. and great work.

Just for clarification, I wasn't aiming my comment at you gregsgto. Just an observation that I'm sure we've all made. ie, No matter how nice the car, some people will talk it down.
