From "back in the day." Love the skinny slicks.

Re: Cool Judge photo
Awesome pic!!! Is that you? And what's the E/T?
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
I wish that was me! No, I was just six years old when this photo was taken. No mention of the car's ET. I love that narrow-slicks look of the late '60s.

Re: Cool Judge photo
Stock classes were limited to a 7" slick. There is still a limit today on the width of slicks in the "stock" class. I have some others and will try to find and post as time permits.

Re: Cool Judge photo
My favorite car and a launch too, must have made a lasting impression.

Re: Cool Judge photo
Yeah, I bought two new 15x6 Cragar S/S's in December and I've been going back and forth as to whether to run 6's in back or 7's. I'll probably go with 6's and run smaller 70-series redline radials in front and larger 70's in back.
Hey, if the '50s guys can bring back the nostalgia hot rod look with big-n-little whitewalls/steelies then I think we musclecar guys could bring back a "nostalgia street machine" look. Besides, think of how fun it would be to have a street car with a healthy BB and 70-series tires out back? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif |

Re: Cool Judge photo
What's the deal with Rocky's Goat? I grew up in DE, so any race cars from there interest me. I always thought it was cool that Union Park had a few of the SD cars.

Re: Cool Judge photo

Re: Cool Judge photo
No idea what the story is behind "Rocky's Goat." I just scanned the image out of an old magazine because it is a COOL pic. No doubt there were THOUSANDS of guys (and gals?) who ran such cars competitively back in those days.

Last cool pic for now!
I can almost see Warren Oates walking up and getting in. (See movie: "Two-Lane Blacktop.") |
Re: Cool Judge photo
I've seen that one before. It looks vintage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif I assume someone painted the front spoiler orbitorange. It's a non Judge, maybe it's one of "Two Lane blacktop" cars? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
I scanned that photo out of a 1970 magazine and it was a road test article so the car was new.
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
HI, I did go through my mag. collection, saw the same. I assume, they painted the lower spoiler to match car. Pretty rare to see non judge GTO. I do know of a raiv GTO. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Cool Judge photo
Bill
That first pic you posted, was that out of a magazine? If so can you reference it please? Steve And thanks again, very cool pics. |
Re: Cool Judge photo
I agree with Don. But I know of at least one Orbit Orange standard GTO.
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
Both the "Jolly Olly Orange" '69 Judge photo and the '70 RA-IV color photo came from the July 1970 Cars Magazine. By the way, the '70 GTO was called "a 400 Ram Air GTO in Judge trim" in the article.

Here's a photo I found of Warren Oates sitting on top of the Orbit Orange GTO in "Two Lane Blacktop".
As many of you know, Oates played "Sgt. Hulka" in Bill Murray's movie, "Stripes". ~Goat72 |
Re: Cool Judge photo
I know of raiv hardtop & convt 455, both orbit orange non judges. They're out there, not as many as judges for sure. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

My great grandfather started our family dealership in 1938, just a few years later my dad is seen playing behind one of the old demos. Not sure if they called them demos back then, but sure enough what it was.

Heap big bad Judge... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Cool Judge photo
The raiv GTO was sold early? It was ended. Car was for sale in another publication, it was rougher car w/o any orig. mtr parts. It looks like it got painted fast, as it was painted green before. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Cool Judge photo
Was it real ? It showed doc's on the auction......
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
It sold. The ad was very little detail. I emailed the seller with questions. None were answered, but he did email me.
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
It was a real raiv gto, but all ra parts gone including complete drivline.Body was in need of alot. I believe, given it being a raiv, it was worth 15k. It seems like the Judges are hot, the gtos, even raiv have not caught on. I think the flash of the Judge is what catches the eye. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

This just a random pic I found on the web, but a cool launch of a Judge.

Re: Cool Judge photo
Must be a BB Chevy in that one !!! (JK)..now I have a question for you Judge fellows....in the 1970 GTO Assembly Manual they show a "Judge" sticker with a placement on TOP of the rear airfoil...next page showthe traditional lower decklid placement....what's up with that ?
|
Re: Cool Judge photo
In 1969 the decal was on the decklid and 70 and 71 it was on the top of the wing, The Bermuda blue car was sold early for 21,000 Too much for a car that was on e-bay 6 months ago (green) and sold for 9.500 . It was a real RAIV car and did come with stripes. Only thing is if you ordered the side stripes on a 70 (NON JUDGE) you got the 1969 stripe package, So the eyebrow stripes pictured were most likely not correct, The blue car definitly got a whiz bang trunk floor, Floor pan and Quarter surgery, But. It is one of the nicest optioned standard GTO's Ive seen in a long time, I think GTO Judges are one of the coolest cars ever built, Remember I said "one of". I don't mean "THE" nicest, I've had several of each year and gotta tell you that 69's are my favorite but for driving the 455 HO of the 71 was great!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Cool Judge photo
He is totaly correct, the GTO was sold before on ebay, needing quite alot. It did have good options. @ 21k, & needing about 35k min resto I guess these cars are really coming into their own. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Cool Judge photo
Muslecarz... I think you got the decal location/year backwards.
