  1. There used to be one of those in a garage on the shortcut to my bud's house. It was covered in boxes, and all you could see from the road was the grill and a that tiny "The Judge".... Same color.....

    New Deal, TX perhaps?

  2. I remember these coming out as a spin-off from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In - with Sammy Davis Jr. dancing out in a wig and robe saying "Here come da Judge! Here come da Judge!" Remember that?

  3. when i was 16 in 1981, I bought a 69 Mercury Cyclone Cale Yarbrough edition for $275, drove it a year and i sold it at an auction for $550, at the same auction there was a guy with a 4 speed 70 GTO Judge, and his reserve of $1,600 was so outrageously high that he didnt get a single bid.
    a couple of days later I went to the guys house and drove it, and didnt buy it because the shifter was all messed up and it was very hard to find the gears. just a reminder that all the cars that are big bucks now, at one time, were just worn out gas guzzlers that non one wanted.
