Thanks.

I rehearsed it for him using the VIN and the Judge registries. Was weird it was a local South Jersey (Oaklyn) originally and went to Wisconsin where he bought it from and its back to its first home. (Moorestown)

Who is Dr Lane? Famous guy? If so..why.

If it was a white with black interior it would peak my attention!

Both of these are not newly discovered or barn finds.

Just cool to see them side by side!! Pretty awesome...

Dr Tom Lane was a Doctor in Levittown pa(Just outside Philly) who purchased a white 71 Judge droptop and in 1977, in Hemmings, he advertised it for an *outrageous* price of $17,000. I remember it as a kid and he was probably the first crazy priced Judge out there for sale . At that time, musclecars were shunned upon and no one wanted them. He sold it for that price. For that reason, he is 'famous' in the Pontiac Judge world.

Neat to see two together like that. How similarly are they optioned? Interesting to see the hood pins added to the one on the right.

In addition to the story on Dr. Lane's Judge, I think he advertised it as 1 of 17 Judge Convertibles and had proof that there were only 17 made.

Most didn't know/realize how rare they were.

After that more info started coming forth on the rest.

Took a long time to get most of the info on the remaining Judge converts.
Steve Hoog dedicated a lot of time to tracking these down.

Had to go and check, it was also the 'Last' Judge convertible built according to Pontiac.

Omigod! That Burgundy car is GORGEOUS! Red interior! Parchment top!

I know some folks don't like maroon with red interior, but it's the bee's knees to me! And I've seen VERY FEW '69 Judges with Parchment tops.....WOW! Not a vinyl top Judge guy, but this one would make me forget that!
