Thanks alot guys!! U should of seen my fathers eyes when he saw this car again, it was priceless... I can remember riding in the back seat when i was a kid...

I'm still deciding what route i wanna go w/this car... A big part of me wants to repaint it blue w/the 70 spoiler, judge stripe and crager wheels. I also like Carousel red though......hmmm. The original Silver ain't bad either.....

Well, it is your car and Dave is right, your Dad will be proud regardless. Myself, I think I would do the original silver with the blue interior, with the blue/yellow/red 69 Judge stripes. I would add the 69 Judge wing instead of the 70...

There are a significant number of carousel red ones out there already, silver would be different and would look great against the blue strip and interior.

Any way you go is better then where it is at!

My vote is for silver and a '69 Judge wing, too. I just picked up a black '69 that was also Palladium Silver, but mine has a black vinyl top and a black interior. I'm going back with the original color combo. Thought about doing a Judge clone, but have pretty much decided against it.

Great story, by the way!

I seen this pic on the net a few years back and it's been in my head ever since, I absolutely love this car!



But, I agree there are alot of Judge clones out there, so it's all still up in the air

That is a nice car but the rims and tires have got to go. God, I hate that look. Just my opinion.... I don't want to tell anyone how to do their car but I hate oversized rims and low profile tires. I feel that they will go the same way the custom paint jobs from the 80's did and disappear (hopefully) when the next fad comes around.

Il ike the look on a non Judge car. Seems to me that a Judge should be restored to factory correct. JMO.

I really like the story. I cant believe how someone let the car fall into such a bad state from where it once wass. Sounds like a good father son project to me.

pics but near by my work across the street from a BW3s is a 66-67 Tempest/Lemans just sitting outside some guys house just kinda rotting away its a sad site. I informed my network admin here at my work about it since he is looking for a old lemans to restore and he went by the guys house and talked to him and the guy said he had no intention of selling it. But it is a sad site. I'll have to try and get some pics next time I'm feeling like some hot wings.

I have a 69 Judge clone and was seriously thinking about the same wheels (chrome torqe thrusts) but I wasn't going to go so large. I was thinking 15". I've decided to stick w/ the original rallys; just going to 15" instead of the 14". Old Blue, I think I agree, if my car were all one color, it might not look so out of place......I did have Cragars on it for a short time and got alot of compliments though.

Getting back to the barn fresh subject, I've been in contact with the owner of a '69 Judge that's currently sitting in a barn. The price is right, and I hope to close the deal on this one. Will post some pics if and when I pull it out of the barn to put it on my trailer...

Scott, very impressive. You seem to have an angle that others have exploited yet. You must have some friend somewhere that is doing some mining. Seems to work whatever it is...Nice Score AGAIN......lol

Well, a buddy did link me up with my gold '69 Judge and '73 T/A 455, but the other 6 or 7 cars I bought this year were the result of finding and running down leads. After some trial and error, I've found a few ways to drum up a lot of leads with little or no expenditures, and my current job isn't too strenuous, so I've had the time to devote to buying cars and parts. Anyway, I'm enjoying it and buying cars while I can b/c my next job is going to be pretty intense.

Thx,

Scott
