Purple 1970 LeMans hardtop owned by Garey Jones from Maryland. Garey tells us about how he got the car and what he has done to it so far, "I had been watching a CraigsListing of this car for quite a while and one day I was bored and went to take a look at it. The listing was rather drab, poor pictures, etc. When I pulled into the driveway, the brain screamed 'you're in trouble now'. The car was a lot better live. Currently it has a 400-4V with a Turbo 400 transmission. I have replaced the interior, bumpers, converted drum to discs in the front and added a 69 Judge spoiler to it. The plans are to turn it into a Jury Clone. There are some great pictures of Jurys on this web site and reading about them and looking at the pictures converted me from an all bright red one. A bit more money to do a Jury, but I think it will be worth it."CLICK-> 
In this shot, Garey hasn't installed the painted front bumper yet. CLICK->

Darren Schmitt owns this 1970 LeMans wagon. Darren explains, "I bought the car February 2008 because I had only seen one other and it was different. The owner had just brought it up from New Mexico to sell. The original color is Baja Gold. I plan on returning it back to Gold and change the interior color to black. The interior is totally shot from the heat in N.M. The 350 engine is being replaced with a mild 350 with a Summit cam, Quadra-jet 4bbl, and HEI ignition. I will be adding some extra chrome to the body from a Chevelle wagon. The A/C will be removed, who needs it with five windows to put down? It's nick name is 'The Shaggin' Wagon' - my wife doesn't get it."CLICK->

Atoll Blue 1970 Judge Ram Air IV hardtop owned by Randy lee Ruud from Lake Elmo, Minnesota. It's an original Ram Air IV car. He has owned it for over 20 years. Randy tells us more, "I located the build sheet on the gas tank during the restoration; Atoll Blue, blue interior, all original 4-speed, 3.90 rear, console, hood tach, hood pins, power steering, wood steering wheel, AM/FM radio, rear speaker, 8-track tape player, gauges, and the Judge option. It was restored in the early 90s. The restoration received NOS fenders, quarters, NOS Judge stripes, rear bumper, NOS wiper motor, floor mats, NOS valances, sill plates, NOS bombshell lights, and front chin spoiler. It has been driven less than 3,000 miles in 20 years. It now has has 72k miles. I was able to drive the car home when purchased, in complete condition. The previous owner drove the car in the country - a rural paper route delivery car. Then he parked it. I just got lucky enough that day. It is a Fremont California factory build. The first owner was going to trade it in on a new 76 Ford Bronco. I purchased it from the second owner."CLICK->

Lots of wood grain. Wood grain dash insert. Wood grain steering wheel, Wood grain shift knob. See the to knobs under the dash way off to the right in this photo.

The bottom knob adjusts outside air into the lower kick panel vent. The kick panel vents are only available on the non-air conditioning cars too.CLICK-> 
Orbit Orange 1970 GTO hardtop owned by Darren Schmitt from Galesburg, Michigan. Darren had this to share, "I bought this car from a 'salvage' yard in 1983 just after I graduated from high school. The car was to be my project to help me with college while I took Automotive Tech classes. I was on a tight budget being a student and working part time at an auto parts store. I learned a lot with this car - good and bad. I kept it all through school, saving for a house, losing a good job, marriage, and having a child. The car will be with me 'till the end. The GTO currently has a non-original 455, M-20 4 speed, and 3.31 12-bolt Posi. It was an original triple Pepper Green car. I have done all the work on the car myself except the headliner and paint/body work. The 455 is a mild build with a Fulper cam, Doug's headers, Pypes exhaust, Performer intake, and 6x-8 heads. All I have left to do is detail the trunk. The car was built and sold in Texas, has many options, but no A/C. Odd, but I like it that way. My other cars include a '70 455 4-speed convertible, '70 LeMans wagon, and a '71 LeMans convertible (the Hillbilly Hot Rod). I've also owned a '69 GP, '72 LeMans GT, '71 T-37,'72 LeMans, and '76 GP."CLICK->
