1970 Judge Color breakdown

[yellowjudge]

Just found anothermemo" Car distrib. Bulletin" dated oct, 3 1969. Lists special order on the 1970 model? Guess that means available on other models. I can't recall ever seeing it on anything other than Jdge & Gtos.

I see your're in witchita. I just got a 71 TA there. It is a 1 owner w/53k miles. 455 ho/4spd, no console & 3:73 opt. rear. Car is orig. down to hose clamps. It was sold new out of Salina.

Hmmm. Didn't realize you could get any gear in the 455HO except the standard 3.42 due to emissions laws. A body was 3.55's. I tried to order 3.90's in mine and was refused. Dealer got notice that it was not available in anything other than 3.55 unless air was ordered and then they were 3.31's Optional gears were only available with the 400 in the a body. Don't know F body but would imagine if available in A body then available in F body also. There may have been 3.08's available also. Does PHS documents show optional gears? Just curious.

Goat72,

Went to both sites. In the first site the original color does not look Orbit Orange but more of Canyon Copper color. In the second site he states it is not a Judge but a clone. Leads me to believe he may have changed the color. Still a beautiful color. If you go to the first site and back up one page you will see the car as he was working on it. Check out the second pic. Kind of hard to tell but not the same color as when the trunk was installed and the trunk is open in anothe pic. Pardon the pun, but you be the judge!!
