Noticed you have a passenger side mirror. Is that the same as the drivers side?

I never drove the car when I got it from Scott(Bulletproof) so had no clue how the engine ran.Very happy with it.I just have too many cars,need to sell the Judge and the 63 Cat that was on the cover of Smoke Signals a few month ago.Have to get down to three.Tom

Great looking car. Great color combo.....Unique choice with the pie pan air cleaner. Don't believe I've ever seen that on a Judge...or any '69 for that matter.

Looking good...! Always hard to let them go once you drive them, it seems.

BTY...if you want to replace the white plastic diaphram on the carb (looks like its been "show" replated) I have a new "gold plated" one from Cliff R. I bought three new from him.

I'll cut you a deal. Selling the rest of my stuff.

PM if interested.

Jeff

Congrats. It takes a lot of work and money to restore one of these cars. Nice to see another rare car put back on the road.
