Carousel Red 1969 RAIII Judge hardtop owned by John Skuratowicz, from Columbus, Ohio. Here's what John had to say, "My Father bought this car in 1972 for $1000 with a blown engine. Jeg's supplied and installed a 1969 Pontiac 400 for another $1000, and it's been in the family ever since. It is a RA III engine, with the original 4-speed transmission. It was a bare bones model, with 4 wheel drums and no power steering or air. The only concession to luxury was the center console. The tires are bias plys from about 1975, and still have the 'Pips' on them. I got the idea for the license plates from your site!! I saw a white '70 Judge with the same plates." CLICK->

Joe Anthony from Vienna, Virginia purchased this Carousel Red 1969 Judge hardtop in the summer of 2000. Joe tells us about the history of his car, "A Mr. Washington purchased this car new in 1969 in Winchester, Virginia. The car had a four speed, Ram Air III, Posi, hood tach, power steering, power disc brakes, white wall tires, radio and hide-a-way lights. After the first 30 days the engine blew when it was run up to 50 mph in first gear. Then, around 1974 with 105,000 miles the Judge was taken off the road. Many friends helped themselves to parts from the Judge. Eventually in 1979, the body and frame were taken to the junk yard. That's when Jim Vance made a deal with a junk yard owner. He would pay him the $35 scrap fee the car was worth. Jim
took the car home with the hood inside. He tracked down the cars posi
rear and SR engine. The M20 was found in a 1974 Nova Spirit of America. The owner refused to give it up. Finally, in 1979 the Judge was back on the road with a green/black/white interior. Unfortunately, a female in a Chevette ran a light six months later and front ended the Judge. With no insurance, the car sat wrecked for 16 years.
Fortunately, Jim did buy a NOS valance and parking light assemblies.
He found a mint 68 bumper with hide-a-ways and many other parts. All
special Judge parts were removed from the car and stored inside. Unfortunatly, his brothre got ahold of the SR engine and sold it. Then, in 2000, Jim decided to put the car up for sale. He lost interest after 16 years and saw the rust holes start in the floor and trunk. Amazingly, the original quarters dent free and still holding on to the factory paint. Glass trim was removed long ago to repair minor rust. Since the trim was never put back on, the window channels never again rusted. I puchased the car for $1,500 and took it to Michigan for a relocation. At the time of purchase, Jim stated the NOS valance was worth $700 and this was the cheapest restorable Judge left. Who would not agree with him? Now with a move back to Virginia the car will come home for a frame off restoration and indoor storage in 2003!" CLICK->
