Yes it is Mike. I got off the phone with the original owner of my Judge the other night after speaking with him for about an hour. Great stories about how he special ordered the car for himself and he waited for a few months for it to come in. Fox Motors in Gonowanda, NY wanted to keep it on their showroom floor for a few weeks instead of letting him take it home. He never raced it and babied it for the five years that he owned it. He traded it for a 75 Hurst Olds w/t-tops that was black as well. The car went to the second owner who was just as careful with the car as it has only had about 5,000 miles put on it in the 15 years as he stopped driving it. It has about two inches of receipts, with mileage at service written on them from the second owner which includes the bill of sale from Murphy Olds where the original owner traded it in for the Hurst Olds.
The original owner is looking through his old personal files to find soe back in the day pictures and paperwprk that he may have kept. I pulled the buildsheet from under the passenger side front carpet and have the PHS docs to support all options on the car.
It was great talking to the original owner and I am sending him pictures of it as it sits now. He told me he still speaks about his old Judge to this day and how he regreted selling it. I told him I am restoring it and would really enjoy bringing the car out to him to get some pictures of him with his old ride.
You feel like you are in a time warp when you speak with an original owner especially when they are still into cars. Makes you appreciate your car in a whole new light.
