Steve, Jan's numbers are dead on, as evidenced by the list below, which I have seen a few times. He is referring to only 3 4sp of the 17 built and one is un accounted for.
I thought that car would do a little more.......... and as an owner of both a 69 and a 70, I think the 70 is the best looking and most popular and I was also surprised at how much more the triple black car went for...That being said, I really want a 71 judge. When Dave C sold his (X Dr. Green) white (on of the 17) I wished I had the budget for it and that it was a 4sp..
My $.02

Jan, a lot more than three were made. I believe 13 of the 17 1971 Judge ragtops produced are still in existance. I think the 69 Judge has a far wider fan base than the love it or hate look of the 71s. Plus that particular 69 was an amazing car with a four speed, which commands a bigger price, especially in the RAIV and SD Pontiac world.
