Default Re: 1970 GTO Judge RAIII

This is your lucky day! Let me introduce myself as being new to this board, I have been a follower of this board for several months but I had no need to reply until I saw your post. I grew up in Albertville, AL and my dad bought several new Pontiacs at Charlie Cox. I own a 70 Polar white Judge, a Mayfair Maize 69 Judge, a 64 GTO (factory red,4 speed,original motor), a 71 Chevelle SS454 Convertible, and others. The 70 Judge you are asking about was owned by a friend of mine.I called him when I read your post and he said he got married in 1973 sold the car in 1972. He has told me about the car for years and about selling the car in the Chicago Auto Auction for $2600. He bought a 1971 Judge a few years later and still owns it today. However, the gold 70 Judge was the best car he ever owned. Now ,this is where it gets interesting, he still has the original window sticker, protect-o-plate,and all of the dealer paperwork for the car! I have seen pictures of this car from 1970(he bought it when it was 6 months old) that show body color sport mirrors on the car,he says they were on the car when he bought it, although they were supposedly not available until 1971.Are the sport mirrors still on the car?He also told me he installed a Cadillac signal seeking radio in the car.An interesting note to this story is that a local guy in town that owned a body/frame shop bought nearly all of the Judges sold at Charlie Cox Pontiac. He told me he bought 17 new Judges in the 3 years they were made.I can remember a lot of them as he played golf at the country club my dad belonged to. I would go play golf with my dad just to see what he would be driving that day.He bought the gold 70 new and also thegold 71 my friend owns now.There is one owner white 70 in town that he turned down because it came through with bench seat and column shift. Also , the guy told me when he bought the gold 70, it had been bumped in the rear end and he had to paint the decklid and put a rear bumper on it. Please reply or call me at 256- 572-4108,ask for Jace.
