That ad is kind of misleading. Guess when you cant use the word original you say CORRECT a lot. Jim

[Steve Hoog]

Marketing 101 again. HAHA

Very nice car. Was this the same one seen at the Nationals this year in Louisville with dog dish caps instead of the rally IIs? Not to nit-pick but if this is the same car, I dont remember the trim missing from the deck lid and quarters. When I win the Powerball tonite, I will make sure its replaced before I take delivery!

[R 70 Judge]

275K Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful car, but I think he will be disappointed. (unless that number is just to keep people from bidding)

My Wife's parents used to live in the Anthem development in Arizona (it's just outside of Phoenix). I'm familiar with where those pictures were taken, the HOA would flip out if they saw him park that car on the grass.

[Rich Straub]

yet another 1 of 1, that alone will bring the 275k, LOL nice looking car though i dont think 275 is the number on wed.

[The Boss]

I for one, would be much happier seeing Ron & his son getting that kind of money for that car, since they were the ones who built it. I have had the feeling that they and to some extent this board were misled by the current owner when he was trying to fine tune the small details and complete the parts.

Maybe when he sells it he'll send Ron a convertible as a thank you?

Same Car. Was sold there. Sold again on eBay. Now it's more than tripled -almost quadrupled- in the asking price. wow

[brians]

"Driven less than 25 miles since completion"


Will somebody buy this and drive it already??

[JKGTO]

If it sells for that kind of money then the buyer is just stupid. If I am paying that much then the car had better have the numbers matching engine and transmission, which this car does not. Sorry 1 of 1 dont mean squat if the ORIGINAL parts are long gone unless its a Judge convert or a T/A convert. It still has value but the owner must think it has a Hemi or something. Jim

[The Boss]

Very few of those cars have their original motors.

[JKGTO]

Mine does. Jim

[Steve Hoog]

Ron and his son did a very nice job on the car.

[PonchoV8]

Maybe with all the 'recreations' (clones) going for 6 figues, it's coming the point where the original drivetrain in a legit car is no longer such a big deal when done at the higher level. Maybe the cars pedigree is going to be enough.

[JKGTO]

I guess that seems like crazy money to me. I am an interested spectator as some parts to finish the car for the nationals last year were obtained from me. Jim

[kaysersuzuki]

it has 2 too many zeros for my budget lol

[Steve Hoog]

They all have too many zeros for my budget.

[Andretti]

Beautiful car, good for all of us if he gets his price.

What's with the front air dam? Thought it was first used for 1970 with a/c?

[Steve Hoog]

I think either HD cooling and or IV got the baffle.
