What makes the 69 Judge worth three times the 70 or 71? I would have thought the 71 in particular would have been right there with the 69, Ram Air IV or not.

The ZL-1 and the 62 lightweight Impala seem like bargains.

Re: Milt Robinson Collection - Auction - Nov 13th
 

Yeah......I agree, the '69 ZL-1 was also a bargain at that price. Especially since it was one of the &quot;other&quot; ZL-1's and not one of the &quot;generic&quot; Fred Gibb cars. Kinda neat the way it was optioned with the center console, gauges, wood wheel and spoilers. For a factory Drag car, it almost seemed to have been ordered for street use. Anybody know any particulars of this #63 car? Milton like bulletproof docs and had long tenures of ownership with many of his cars. I've never had the chance to meet him but he always seemed to be a real enthusiast and really appreciated his stuff.

I think that car came out of Otis Chandler's collection.

I agree, the 71 Judge in his collection is one of only three produced, only two of them exists today.

Triple Black 69 RAIV Judge VERT thats why it brought the $$$ besides a 69 70 looks 10X better than a 71... IMHO

Jan, a lot more than three were made. I believe 13 of the 17 1971 Judge ragtops produced are still in existance. I think the 69 Judge has a far wider fan base than the love it or hate look of the 71s. Plus that particular 69 was an amazing car with a four speed, which commands a bigger price, especially in the RAIV and SD Pontiac world.

I always got the impression that 71 convertible was the Judge Holy Grail.


I actually prefer the 71. My high school shop teacher had a Tropical Lime 71 Judge hardtop, and he used to bring it to school and let us wrench on it.

Re: Milt Robinson Collection - Auction - Nov 13th
 

I had the oppportunity to chat with Mr. Robson at the POCI Co-Nats in Dayton last year about joining us for MCACN.

He was very gracious, but explained that he had a prior long standing commitment for an annual hunting trip.

Hope he is happy with the results. His collection was absolutely amazing. Hopefully the new caretakers of some of these cars will consider joining us in 2011 for MCACN III.
