69 Judge Survivor

**smallblockhero** · #1 12-10-2011, 05:17 AM

My friend runs MuscleCarAlley restorations in NY and I hang out there from time to time. and even built their website. well today i popped in to update the website and low and behold... an unrestored 1969 GTO Judge 4-Speed was in there. i took some pics for the website and climbed all over this thing. just way cool to even put in words. as ive never actaully sat in a real judge. the interior even tho 42 years old and untouched had the best feeling seats ive ever sat in.

enjoy the pics... i did.

what a great car! I hope they leave it alone.

unfortunately not.. those are my sentiments as well. it is starting to gather some rust that needs attention, but nothing id worry about if it were mine... its only original once. it has had a 3/4 repaint once in its life quite a while ago.

more pics.

well then do just a nice repaint and a real good clean up and NOT a frame off. Its a shame IMO to always take these cars apart for no good reason. Once they do that the cars become nothing but lawn ornaments. Gotta drive em.

Special cars like this need to be preserved.

I owned one of the best survivor 69 hurst olds I had ever seen and the new owner did a body off. Killed me to see a rust free one quarter panel repaint get taken apart. Car looks great now but with the new focus on survivor cars would have been one of the best. So what if it had lacquer check, that is what 40 year lacquer does. Lee

i fully agree fellas. this is a customers car for them, so i dont know exactly whats planned yet. but im pretty sure it slated for the concours treatment. time will tell, as things always change from the original plan.

Fully get it if it's a true untouched survivor (ie Charley's Z), but might be cool to take care of that metal before the rust progresses? Nice car! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

the cars not for sale.... the owner has already turned down multiple offers from what ive heard. i didnt ask the full details of what the owner/customer wants done with the car. all i was told was thatthe customer wants a "full body off concours restoration" at this point in time. it hasnt been touched yet and maybe time will change the owners decision.
