Nice combo - sold new in East Lansing, MI.

I'm assuming it's NOM since the seller doesn't mention it. Hideaways must have been added during the restoration - nice touch.

Looks like a nice detailed resto but missed a couple of easy items - all Judges came equipped with Ralley II wheel, exhaust tailpipes are incorrect, and bad misalignment on the headlight covers. The auction shows a pic of the VIN stamped by the timing cover. The only reason to show that pic would be to imply it is the original engine. Could be re-stamped, I'm not qualified to judge that, no pun intended:smirk:

It is always tough for me to get comfortable with a car restored like this one. As R68GTO mentioned there are some major missteps in the visible details. It is what you can not see that gives me the most concern.

Other visible issues or wrong items: power brake booster, master cylinder, cowl screens, painted hood hinges, alternator, exhaust system, painted body plugs, fuel pump......

The bizarre choice of poverty caps is incredibly distracting on this car - non-sensical.

YES! poverty caps look good on some 50/60s cars but not here.
