400 rebuilt engine, and new interior. It will be for sale in the next
couple months!" CLICK->

Red 1970 GTO owned by Jeff Hayn (jeffrey.hayn@fedex.com ). It's sitting the garage, the cover is off, and it's all ready for a spin! CLICK->
There's a nice looking engine under the hood. That's a 455! CLICK->
The color of the interior is called Parchment. It looks like this would be hard to keep clean. It's still got the original radio. CLICK->
Here's the back seat. These cars actually have leg room for back seat passengers. CLICK->
This red 1970 GTO has a black vinyl top, Rally II wheels, and a hood tach. Vinyl (or cordova) tops were a popular option back then. CLICK->
What's in the trunk? Looks like a red trimmed trunk mat. These trunks have a "spatter paint" finish. You can purchase trunk paint in a spray can that automatically produces the "spatter" look. Some of my first paint jobs resembled this finish, although that was not the effect I was trying for. CLICK->
A shot down the side of Jeff's red 1970 GTO. Nice and straight! CLICK->
This picture was sent in with the red ones. The car was probably yellow first. CLICK->
Granada Gold 1970 Judge convertible owned by Kyle Cheros from Greenville, South Carolina. It's in James Groome's (james@groomepaper.com) shop for paint.

Looking up the right side of this Granada Gold 1970 Judge convertible. Here's the story as told by James Groome, "This is a car that I just got done painting. The car has been owned by a friend of mine, Kyle Cheros, since 1975. The car has 55,000 miles and the interior and carpet are all original. The spare tire has never been on the ground. The original tires are in the guys garage. The car is extremely solid there was not even surface rust at the bottom of quarters. The build date is first week October 1969. The spoiler mounting holes are closer to the edge of the deck lid than most 70 Judges they come through where the innerframe holes are. The reason that I believe that this was changed was because that only allows the mounting studs to pass through only one layer of sheetmetal when they are attatched. And because the spoiler is so heavy it causes the metal on the decklid to flex and bend at the mounting points. (The decklid was extremly indented at these mounting points) I would like to hear from anyone else with an early 70 judge that has encountered this." PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ...

Says Larry Parks (deuceguy.@city-net.com) - "I have not had a car in 15 years and would like to get back into the game. I can't tell you how many cars used to just follow me home. However I've been out of this for a long time and times have changed."
