Default Judge convertible on Ebay.

I get pretty excited about these when they come along. My dad had a 69 Judge convertible back in the mid 70's so I have a passion for them. His was carousel red with parchment interior, white top, hideaways and a 4 speed. Unfortunately, no pictures of the car can be found in the old family photo albums, but I distinctly remember that a few existed. It was the first real muscle car that I was really exposed to as a child.

Does anyone know this car on ebay?

Lightbulb Undercarriage looks good

Look at all the pics ...

This is a nice car - if the numbers match then it is in the ballpark

the rear edge of the spoiler is too thick......it is a repro spoiler. also the spoiler is sagging downward between the legs....I've never seen
a factory Judge spoiler do that.

factory spoilers are knife edged on both edges..the aftermarket are round and blunt..i have a parts place spoiler on mine, and it looks just like that... and once you see it, you can tell from across the street....thats why Hobi was converting hardtop spoilers to converts...so rare and impossible to get..

i wasnt realy beating on the car..just surprised it was aftermarket for such an expensive car..

I figured you would know who this car belongs to. Wasn't expecting to hear that you owned it, though I think I remember you stating in a thread a while back that you put out a wanted ad for Judge convertibles back in the 80's so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise. If I was in a position to purchase this car, I would be all over it.

I guess I will settle for my clone.

Very cool. I remember the Ebay listing as well as the story behind the car. It is exciting to see the car restored back to it's original condition.

How many Judge convertibles do you have and what years? My father had a carousel red 69 Judge vert that he traded in for a new truck at a Dodge dealership in the mid 70's in Waukesha, WI. The last time I saw the car a few months after he traded, it was hit hard on the passenger side front. Have you ever run across a car matching that description? I am hoping it was spared from the crusher.
