Judges

[gtaa9]

From what I understand correct me if I'm wrong:the 427 cars that came from berger,motion,yenko,nickey ect. were a dealer install.If you wanted a 427 camaro,nova or chevelle you had to go to one of these dealerships to make that happen,it was'nt factory.The COPO cars are factory 427's.So with the RAV I would put it with the berger,yenko,motion,nickey cars as a dealer install car.

DaJudge,when I stumbled onto this website I was impressed with all the information available to me.I have check out all the old threads and have found out that there are alot of people wanting to know how many Judges were a certain color.I noticed that you are one of those people well I have a friend that lives in Arizona and his dad worked for GM from 1964-1979,he was on the line in the pontiac plant.His dad had permission to keep track of the Judges coming through the line,he wrote the year and exter. color only(dont ask me why he did'nt keep more info per car).Ever since I stumbled onto this site I wanted to give out this information.I called my friend last week and told him about the site:His dad recently past away so the only person that has any clue about the color breakdown for Judges is his son.He has given me color breakdowns for the HT's and verts for the 69-70-71 Judges.I have permission from him to give out this information.The deal between my friend and I was that if he gives me this information I will not give out his familys name or any other information and I told him that I would honor that.He also said that his dad told him that the numbers aren't 100% correct and that there around 80-82% correct.I will post the numbers on this thread tonight.

No expert, here, but pretty sure '69 Yenkos, aside from the Nova, were factory equipped (COPO's w/decals?).

Though would put a RAV installed by Royal, for example, in a category w/Nickey, Baldwin-Motion, Mr. Norms, pre '69 Yenko, and so forth.

Can you give any background on what plant/shift kinda stuff? Or was he taking talleys in corporate office? Cool stuff non the less, would love to have seen a Champaigne Judge sitting new in a showroom in 69!!!!

[gtaa9]

I did'nt ask him about what plant or shift his dad work at.I talk to his dad afew years ago and that was when I found out he had this info on the colors of course he would'nt show me that info at the time he was very secretive about it.Just by talking to him he was very proud of the colors he had because he new no one else had this information.He always lock it up in a fire proof safe and to this day his son keeps it lock up in the safe.His dad mentioned that he would tally up the numbers every 6mo. untell he had all the Judges acounted for.He also said by recording the colors this way that there were probably some Judges that sliped through his fingers thats why he never claimed the numbers to be 100%.
