Judges

[gtaa9]

The people that I've talk to in the past have told me that there were 6 and others saying 3-4 made.Then in the mix of all this I was also told that there were none made.I'm looking forward to your response.

WOW 6 is the # thats cool pretty rare either way you slice it.Are all 6 cars in a collection?Or are some in the hands of a private owner?Thanks alot for the information Judgesragtop.

Hi, The # is six according to McCarthy book, but I've heard unconfirmed rumor of the 7th.The autos held up much better. There were 18 total made, funny, only 4 sticks surfaced, mine(red)another red, silver & green.

As I was reading through the discussion on Judge colors in the Pontiac Years forum.There is a discussion about going through PHS for the Judge colors.They said it would take alot of man hours and money to do the research.I would think every Judge owner has PHS docs.With that said made a registry and have the Judge owners put all necessary info(color combo,drivetrain ect.) on the registry.

Not every Judge has survived so to use the PHS docs that are out there would not be a 100% accurate count, although a start. I have spoken to Jim M regarding software that can covert the microfilm to a digital format. You then need to index it and make the data searcheable by option codes and VIn numbers, paint codes etc. It would be very time consuming with most of the work being done at the programming/ indexing level. Remember the sequence of options or their position on the document is not always in the same place. Paint codes and VIN's are in the same place. The OCR engine needs to be very robust and be able to do key word searches( codes ) to do this. It can be done, but remember GM owns these documents and they may not allow this to happen. Although it would take me a lot of time I would be willing to take PHS docs of Judges that are presently owned by collectors and put them into a data base. I would be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement that only color codes and option code breakdowns be released. No VIN or ownership data would ever be released and ownership data would be destroyed after the data has been processed. We could then breakdown the statistics to what has survived. Just a thought.

Being accurate on these numbers would be a problem but like you said get a database going and tally up what comes in.It would'nt be accurate but it would give a general idea on how many are out there in differant color combos.

I've been told that there was two special order colors for the 71 Judge vert.One was green and the other yellow,what was those two colors call?
