Re: Just a hypothetical muscle car value question...
A 1969 Judge is an icon of the Musclecar Era. The fact that The Judge option was nothing more than stickers, stripes, and a rear wing are meaningless actually. The 69 Yenko Camaro was nothing but a COPO 427, with added stripes and some special emblems (same as a Judge), and the Yenko Camaro is also an huge icon of the Musclecar Era.
It's not just the equipment under the hood, it's how recognizable it is to regular (non-collector) people, as well as hard core collectors. A Carousel Red 69 GTO Judge is far more recognizable than a 69 Chevelle SS396. Doesn't make it better or faster, it's just more identifiable to enthusiasts, and that makes them more sought after. |

Well, I can say this much. I just got back from a drive in my 69 Chevelle with the L78, 4 speed, 3;73's, smog, stock exhaust. It goes pretty dang good! I had the grins all the time I was driving it!

Re: Just a hypothetical muscle car value question...
Wasn't a Stage 1 Buick the fastest muclecar out of the gates? I know it definitely had the most torque...
I'd take an L78 Nova... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif |

Re: Just a hypothetical muscle car value question...
Why don`t we just settle this at SCR11.... Tony (TDW) would you be willing to bring your 1969 L78 Chevelle and race it at SCR11 against a Carousel Red 69 GTO Ram Air III? Now who`s got a Carousel Red 69 GTO Ram Air III? Anyone, anyone? They would obviously need to be evenly matched....4 speeds and similar rear gears, etc.
