Default Ruffest Judge I think I have ever seen

I saw this 69 Judge on ebay and cannot get over how rusted it is. This must have been parked near the ocean or something. Would this car be worth restoring? What do you guys think as it appears to be a pretty cool color combo

That would be a great color combo
Someone will probably rebody it because of the extreme rust.
Have to watch & see what it brings

Another post about it in the 70- GTO section

70 GTO

I'd say it will be rebodied also.

Default rust free body

If anybody here buys this I have a 69 rust free body from CA that would make a great donor.Car is complete and rolls for shipping etc.

Default rebody??

NO NEVER!! , I would recommend that all the body panels be removed from the factory spot welds and re welded onto this cowl to simulate how Pontiac built the car on the assembly line.
Then they could claim 100 % original sheet metal at BJ/ Mecum in 20 yrs when they finally finish it.The seller claims you can cut it at the cowl and replace the back half if you can find a donor,just trying to help some poor sole who buys this speciman.

The irony!

It's fine to replace any AND all panels on the car - quarters, floors roof, inner/outer wells, etc. as long as they meet the old chassis (or whatever is left of it) one at a time. The minute more than one gets attached at the same time, it's a rebody! Never mind that if the floors or wheel wells are repro - that doesn't seem to matter at all.

Personally, I'll buy a clipped car over a swiss cheesed car any day of the week!

Let me see if I understand this.....A woman born in 1969, been through 5 marriages, set out to pasture, and gains weight and then has a tummy tuck, a buttock lift, liposuction, breast implants, eyes redone, face lift, botox injections, hair dyed, cheek and chin implants,teeth capped, and loses 175 pounds, does this mean that she has been rebodied, or is this the same woman? (just wondering) : usa2:

I can't believe they got that on a trailer without a scoop shovel!!! The only solid part looks like its the trailer itself.
Wonder if the price includes the trailer? Hate to be the person who buys it and has to take it off that trailer!

Guilty, HO, Same woman as long as they didn't remove her vin tag! LOL

Beach area cars are the worst rusted cars on land. That car needs to go away. Take pics of it. Put the VIN and data plate in a frame on the wall with the PHS and spoiler underneath.

Some of the questions on the auction are just retarded.

As the OP mentioned, this car was probably in close proximity to the ocean for a long time, as it appears to have severely rusted "from the top down", as opposed to how cars typically corrode that have been exposed to road salt at some time in thier life. Although heavily rusted on the the horizontal sheet metal surfaces, this car MIGHT be suprisingly solid underneath. Just hope its been stored with the windows up and the deck lid installed to help protect the floors and trunk.
