<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: flyingn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">great thread!! Love reading about these odd cars.. One burning question to me though. That blue 70 stripeless Judge. Why didn't the original owner just order a Ram air GTO and install a spoiler? Would have been cheaper to do.. </div></div>

Good question! The original owner (according to Diego's article) is a woman now in her 80's, I would imagine that she really wanted a Judge, didn't like the stripes, but wanted the wing and the Judge stickers.

A Judge is nothing more than a Ram Air GTO with stickers and a wing, so yes, she could have ordered a Ram Air GTO and had them install a wing at the dealership. But I'd be curious what the dealer would have charged for a wing back then, and the labor to paint it and install it. It may have been cheaper to get the Judge sans stripes.

Not exactly a factory freak, but something you don't see too often.

1968 Firebird 400 RHD.
