Yea, I though it looked like somewhere off of 88. The wife and I went out to Amador City/Sutter Creek a few weeks ago for lunch and to browse for antiques. Nice drive. I bet your t/a ran good in the cool air.

Actually..... It ran like crap in that altitude. My T/A and the purple Challenger wouldn't even idle......

Next time your up that way eat at the Kirkwood Inn & Saloon. Excellent food.... and lots of history...

I was kinda odd man out with those all Challengers. My buddy with the purple Challenger has a '71 Formula 400 4 speed that he's had since 1981.

Its already my desktop wallpaper...

I am very very happy with the photography..... it was money well spent IMO. The guy is an artist and a true professional. I am tempted to have him do my other cars as well.

I've only heard stories of that 70 Judge, glad to see it out-n-about!

Thanks for the pictures Martin!

He's had that Judge a while. I remember him talking about it back in high school. We graduated in 1980.

Back then, his dad had an awesome, silver, second gen T/A (a 1976 maybe?) set up for corners. I remember he borrowed his dad's T/A one day and scared the crap out of me, taking the 15 mph, 90 degree turn on my street at about 60 mph, while giving me a ride home from the high school. They were always a Pontiac family and had some really neat cars. Obviously, they still do.

:-)

Not sure it's saddle...? Looks like maybe it's the dark brown color. Pretty sure I've NEVER seen that interior color in a '70 T/A. Maybe it's black... and just the image or the sun fading makes it not look black?

Martin?
(Nice pics, BTW).

It is BROWN.......a good friend of mine owns it (funny thing is, that this car was a Florida ordered TA).....We could not believe it when it was being restored that the color was a Brown.....I'll get more pics of the car and post them up.
