1970 judge 455 HO convertible

[Charley Lillard]

High bidder is very real... Cool car.

[BUIZILLA]

Just for reference...

the black/sandlewood sister to this car just went through RM/Boca at $405,000 this past weekend, real NICE car, Peter from Legendary took it I believe.... wierd bidding scene...stalled early around 200k, then took off to 400k, stalled at 400k for like f_o_r_e_v_e_r, then reserve was abruptly dropped, jumped another 5k, and whammo it was done. Word outside was that it was a staged deal to run up the value's... who really know's... damm nice car though..

The car at RM was a Ram Air 4 car.

Seller on E-bay:
"You are bidding on the RAREST GTO judge convertible. This is 1 of only 3 made with the 455 H/O! All three were automatics as no 4 speed H/O convertibles were made."

I suspect both cars are superb. Don't mistake my post as an attempt to debase either the individuls (sellers) or the two cars...
But hey, for nearly 400K you kinda want some accuracy....heck, for a hundred grand one should expect some factual data on a car.

[BUIZILLA]

Charlie would be correct.

[Charley Lillard]

Lee...My money would be on the Ebay seller having his facts right.

[Lee Weber]

Agree Charlie - Gary Cave is a bonified guru...hands down. No dispute. I did a double take with both making claims of PHS documentation. But I figured since somebody around here was showing interest (ahhhemm) it would be worth the notice.

[/ QUOTE ]Ok,Heres the deal! The judge that Gary is selling is definetly 1 of 3 cars produced and is a superb car! The Idiot with the other car and I do mean IDIOT is about 20 miles from me! The car he speaks about is just a gto NOT A JUDGE and there was definetly more than 3 of those cars built. He is the same guy who just sold the ram iv convert in florida. He ruined that cars value by doing a long list of shady things with it like 1st of all saying he sold it for 800k last year. HE also represented it as numbers matching which it was not and while it was being restored he kept raising the price and the list goes on and on. I was told the car was not that nice and you could not even get close to it in florida. The guy and his wife who restored it was the ones who was with the car all weekend.Most of the cars on his website are not even his!! He takes other peoples pics from ads and websites and post them as his own for usually about 40-50 higher!! What a joke! Colin can attest to this as I remember one of his cars winding up on this other guys website! That car is just another attempt to jack the prices of gto's even higher than they should be. HE'S BAD FOR THE SO CALLED HOBBY

Holy Deceptive bidding Batman!!!...someone just hit the reserve and then instantly cancelled their bid. So now I know what the reserve is and so do alot of other people I suspect. Does this happen a lot?

Update..Now he's back with a lower, hi bid..All in just a minute or two.

[Charley Lillard]

Hopefully the seller will refuse to accept bids from the jackass.
