Judge Man, Could you give me your estimate on the total number of 1969 Verdoro Green Judges that were produced? Thanks.

[1969Judge]

Judge Man, Here is some more info I was able to find. I located these cars (and in many cases talked to the owners) while looking to find one for sale. I took notes on colors, transmissions, options, etc. - basically anything they told me about their car. It was really interesting hearing the stories.

I have to dig through the original notes to pull out more of the details but this is some of what I have. Keep in mind that this is only for the '69 Judge converts...

20 cars had 4-speed's, 9 had TH400's and one had a 3-speed and the remaining cars I have no info on. At least two of the cars had an auto on the column and the 3-speed was a bench seat car.

I can also tell you that only a couple of cars were highly optioned (more than 20) while most cars seemed to only have 8 or less. There were even a few cars that had 4 or less options from the factory.

Give me some time and maybe I can pull some more statistics together on options. Some of the things I remember about the options were:

- Not that many cars came originally with hood tachs
- Gauges weren't that common either
- More cars than I expected had open rear ends
- A/C is a rare option on a Judge convert and only 2 TH400 cars and 2 4-speed cars that I came across had it
- The center console seemed to be popular

More later....

[kellerta]

thanks judgeman

in your opinoin does this color (mayfair maize)de-value the car

[1969Judge]

Judge Man, your estimates are quite interesting. I am trying to gather some production information on '69 Judge converts. How many have you managed to find? I would be interested in seeing a breakdown by color. Do you track anything else on the cars you have found like transmissions, options, interior/top colors, etc?

judge man you can take note now that the warwick blue i have will NEVER be sold,hell i have had my 69 convert since 78

[Judge Man]

In my opion no.I like the color myself I think the value would go up.Expresso brown is another story I dont like this color,it all depends on whos wanting to buy it and what each persons tast is.

[kaysersuzuki]
