The Hangin Judge still exists. I often saw it rotting away in an alley in Corning, NY back in the 1980's. Now it is in the same owners small garage with crap piled all over it. Last seen by me 5 years ago.

Think it was a RA3 but 4 speed. Guy won't sell it. Same story of gonna fix it someday, but apparent that he doesn't have the finances to do so.

My dad also raced D/S at Atco, Cecil, Englishtown, Maple Grove, and an old Air Force base in NJ somewhere. Here are a couple of photos, but maybe even better, some old 8mm film we found and had converted when my father passed. I own the car today. Enjoy!

I got a 69 Judge from Don White. Black with parchment interior- 15000 original miles. Original paint and interior. Inside of trunk was full of class win stickers. Maybe Don has some pics of it he could post on here.

Seems like there was barely any room left on the underside for any more Win stickers. It was loaded full of them. He posted some pics of it on here when he first got it |

I noticed the “Big Iron” RAIV Judge in an ad of the March 1970 Super Stock magazine I have. I figured this would be a good place to post it.

Back in the 80's and 90's we were building houses and our mason was Dan Miller from Durham maine. I had my 70 gto and I also dragraced a lemans. I got talking to him and he told me he had some left over parts from a 69 judge he had bought brand new. I went over to his house and he gave me the original bell housing,D port ram air exhaust manifolds,NOS lifters and swirl polished valves,cam,springs and I think that was it. He said he raced it from new and showed me a framed pic he had at the track. It said the hanging judge on the side. The car was long gone and he didnt know what had happened to it after he sold it.
I still remember back in 82 i stopped at a new car dealership near me and one of the workers there had a very nice 69 judge 4 speed for sale for 1500.00. I told him Id be back with the money,,,went back with my father and he talked me out of it because the starter would act up now and then. I bought my 70 with 38000 original miles in 1986 for 1700.00 but always regretted not buying the 69.

Help locate GTO Judge drag racers from 1969

My father bought the hangin judge from him years ago. Engine broke down before I was born and I spent my whole life sitting in it waiting for the day I’d finally drive it. I’m finally having it restored now after about 40 years. Check out the license plate. Last edited by jwood82d; 08-11-2023 at 08:22 PM. |

Welcome, jwood82d!
Awesome that you're getting it running again. Long time sitting in it, now the need for Speed I bet.

Definitely! The original owner swapped the 400 out with a Pontiac 428 that we still have and are getting bored out and stroked. We’re redoing the stripes, lettering, and decals with a few small adjustments, but we’re going to make it as close to what it looked like on the drag strip back in the day. It still has the ladder bars, but I am most likely opting to replace the 4.56 rear end with a 3.73 for driveability’s sake. Excitement doesn’t begin to describe how I feel.

Great video I showed up for the judge and stayed for the BIRD! Awesome video and music.
That sutphen was all risk not all rise, I always forget that name . We had one of these boats and it was red so I always remembered it to some extent. A lot of times the boat guys also owned race cars like I did .

Thanks! I’m new to this community so I’ll have to figure out the best way to get a new post going so I can continue to post progress pics. Super early still but in the middle of getting new 1/4s and outter wheel wells. A buddy of mine is detailing the old ones with “valley performance” written on them to hang up.
