Complete matching #s 69 Judge

[60sStuff]

Rust in the usual places on a ‘69 GTO, but this Original Paint Survivor “Pattern” Judge in Carousel Red is really cool.
Every factory component is still there after decades of sitting.
Cars like this are getting fewer.

With less than 20 hours to go this BaT auction has been fun to watch.

Leave the Factory paint and stripes alone ….. please.

Very special Judge, possibly one of the first.

01C was the first build week for Pattern cars which this car is.

what's a pattern car?

Basically the 1st 2,000 judges built were all carousel red and had the same options for the most part. This initial batch was distributed across the nation for the initial introduction. Other colors were not available until March. Others on this site probably know the finer details better than I do, but that’s the basic description of pattern judges.

I think the buyer is Gary Uftring of Uftring Chevy down in the Washington (Peoria) IL area.

$60k for that?! Jeeze..... I'm not a fan of these new inflated project prices. Maybe I'm getting old early for only being 50. I should start complaining about nonsense and minor things.:laugh:

GET OFF MY LAWN!!

cheers

While 60 seems high the car had a lot going for it.

I restored a 69 Judge,that will cost a lot to just make a nice driver IMO.Tom

Agree, the car sold for double what I thought was a high end price. This Judge did retain all the hard to find original and expensive parts though; carb, distributor, and original drivetrain. All of which supported an above average price.

But in my opinion it is was too far gone to be considered for a "survivor" that you could clean-up or dry ice blast and enjoy. The amount of rust damage was extensive. Especially for a car that supposedly spent its life in California.

I can't believe I missed those.

I thought the hack job from sheet metal alignment was the worst part of the car. I stand corrected.

You can get those front-end panels lined up. The taint from Cooper Cobras will haunt that car forever. Might as well just part it out.
