1971 JUDGE CONVERTIBLE,1 OF 17

[rusted goat]

I know on The Judge with ralley II's weren't suppose to have the trim rings on. But the honeycombs I don't recall seeing one without a trim ring. At least in photos of restored Judges. What does that area of the rim look like without them

Can't really tell if the wheels you're talking about are 14"s or not but the 15"s didn't come with a trim ring until 1973 because Pontiac didnt make a trim ring for it til then. I have heard that 14" honeycombs did come with the trim rings, though, in the earlier years. Maybe it was a manufacturing problem, who knows? In 1973 you could get the 15" trim rings at the parts counter, which everybody did, and then installed them on all the pre-73 15" wheels just because they looked nice with them. This is what the 15" wheels look like without rings.

I just enlarged the auction photo and those are 14" honeycombs, so the trim ring is most likely correct for that year and size.

I had a 72 Goat, One of the Wagons done for Factory Reps,(Long Story) and it had Trim rings on the Honeycombs. So, I'm not sure if 71 should or shouldn't but I would put faith in anything "Legendary" does, so maybe they are right.
I know the Owner of the Judge Ragtop and he wouldn't have them if they were not supposed to be there. I'll ask him when I see him.
Either way, it would look good in my garage, just too many toys now, and not enough space. I am thinning out the crowd.

I remember seeing one of those 2 cars back in the early eighties (gold color IIRC). I loved the look of it and put it on "The List".

Mine was Factory Sundance Orange, Tan Seats, 3 seater. 455H.O. and Factory A/C. Those reps knew how to live. It now lives in Maui Hawaii.

Your old Sundance orange wagon was built by Dan Jensen back in the early 80's. It was a 350 car originally. I know the car well. The sport wheel, tach and gauges, 455 H.O., endura front end, honeycomb wheels etc. were all added to the car. In fact the hood and fenders were NOS. The car even had real Ram Air pans on it until one of the previous owners (in Indiana possibly?) yanked it before selling the car. Very cool car but the rep story is just that. A story.

PHS docs should show how the car was equipped as new?

Wasn't there also a supposed 442 wagon ???

GTO 14" Honeycombs came with trim rings with Judge option or not.
