This is my buddy data plate . I don’t know all the options but I do know it’s a RAIIi 4 SPD, carousel red, can’t rmmeber color of the interior (been at least 16 years since I’ve seen it.)
Black vinyl top. I really don’t remember anything else about it but could find out.
I don’t want to go jack this awesome thread but wanted to know if it could still be a pattern judge for my buddy. He’s had the car since 73 .
I just couldn’t figure out a sure plan as to what constituted a pattern judge and what didn’t .

The only absolute way is to get the PHS for the car.
If a buildsheet is found in the car, it may have the number.


Having all the options for a 'Pattern' Judge doesn't make it a 'Pattern' Judge.

Every Judge Invoice we have witnessed from 01C through 02B has been a Carousel Red , Pattern Car.
His would be the First Known with a Vinyl Top .
His options would HAVE to mirror the Invoice of The Hangin Judge exactly.
But even with those factors - it doesn't make his documented.
To people in the know - it would be considered a 99% probability.

Doubtful he will do PHS since he hasn't already.
Framingham 69's usually have a Buildsheet - if it were found in good condition , that would document it by the order number and Zone Lot : Ship To : information.

Ok, you sold me. I’m going to go with the Tremec 5 speed. I’m guessing what I have is an M20 anyway.
The only transmission parts I have right now is the Muncie that will probably need to be opened up and looked in at the very least, and a bell housing. If all they would need to do is shorten the driveshaft to make it fit, a few extra grand is probably going to be well worth the driving experience and gas mileage by the sounds of it.

New update. Undercoating finished. I went with bedliner. Looks cool and should last a couple lifetimes. Also more block sanding. Looking forward to actual primer coming up soon.

Last week: Underliner, brake lines and rear brake fitting, more block sanding body work. Finally found a picture of the quarter panel decal from a vintage racing decal seller on Ebay! Might have to repro it though, last time he had one was 10 years ago.

Hoping the next update will be in primer and include the engine. Waiting on a new decklid which is currently on backorder til Dec.
