Another big welcome to you Brendan.
We'll certainly appreciate everything you can share on or about your WT7 Judge.

Very unique interior and tranny too !
I "believe / think" you may also have the first known 3spd Stick 71 Judge on this forum.
But now of course, around here, a car isn't documented until we see the documentation ! ...... hint ..........hint

Still I think it was expected to be a bigger hit by Pontiac ....
I've had the exact same thought.
For a while, almost 2 out 3 Ram IV Judge projects popping up were White.
And a lotta White Ram III's are known.

I think people went in to get one just like the pix they had seen, ordered a White one assuming thats what they'd get. Just Theory. But i think it boils down to lack of sales personnel being on the cutting edge of the razor (as in not so sharp).

I don't have complete articles on them.
But i don't think anything was ever said to the tune - - order your White Judge today and ask your salesman about the special no extra cost WT7 appearance package as shown here
.

Any way though, i do think it generated a lot of White Judge sales in 70.

Welcome Brendon! Glad to have so much focus on 71 GTOs/Judges. Love to see pics of yours.

1beautifuldaughter - the car looks awesome now.

Todd - thanks for all the work and research on these cars - much deserved and needed. Man - after being MIA for awhile - you've made a big come back dude! I can just imagine you in a smoke-filled room with some LZ playing loud, while scrutinizing these build sheets...that's dedication man!

Couple of 1971 sheets that may be of interest.

OMG! Were the hood & spoiler call-out's red before? The car looks KILLER now!

If it didn't sell before it should sure as hell sell now - but I would keep it or send it to one of the auctions - you're wasting time with it on e-Bay!

If I'm reading your sheet right Mike, it says there were 7 Judge Convertibles built with the M22 & 10 auto which doesn't jive with the built list? What gives?

Thanks Boss,, The call outs where black before, After WT-7 option was found, I questioned what color the wing callout would be on a black wing, All this led to BVZ working harder on connecting the dots to come up with red call outs. As PER "R" on the build sheet. Looks different, I love it. As far as doing better on Ebay , I am not going to try that again, I was looking for exposer and got it along with alot of important and usfull info that will follow the car now wherever it goes. and as far as the car doing better, I dont know, I guess thats all up to what colors someone likes. After all its the same car with a black wing and different decals. But I'm glad Its "as born", Thats been my mission all along.

Not sure, these were Fred's sheets from 1989. The "trivia" sheet was typed on the back of one of the 1971 sheet.

Here's another....

1BD told me the eBay listing was the best $46 he ever spent on the car !
I think it was because it got him involved with all of us super deluxe PY people.
Or maybe it was the consequential further depth of knowledge gained about the car.
One of those ....

And he likes it even so much better now with its new-found appearance.



I've never followed along the 71's all this much before.
They have always been such seldom occurences.
71JudgeFan (Brendon) spotting it on eBay was its saving grace.
Its brought me more in tune with 71 Judges, and its been good all around.

Those are some really neat sheets, Mike.
Thanks for sharing them all with us.
