I am familiar with this car, assuming it is the same one; (which it must be, since only 17 71 Judge Converts were ever built!) A friend of mine commissioned Scott Tiemann to restore it years ago. At the time of purchase, it was a nice solid car that had been featured in several magazines and a nice driver. The gentleman wanted the best of the best and was willing to pay Scott whatever it took to make it such. I believe he purchased the car out of Florida.

After restoration, the car made several show appearances including the Detroit Autorama, Meadowbrook Concours, GTOAA and POCI National Conventions where it pretty much won everything it could.

After showing the car, he drove it very sparingly in the Detroit area and eventually became bored with it and then sold it along with another 70 Judge Hardtop.

I have pictures of this car that I took at Detroit Autorama and Meadowbrook from back then.
