I love when people threaten to take it to "Scottsdale in January" if no one meets his reserve here. I guess he doesn't know Barrett Jackson too well if he thinks "the reserve will be higher there to cover the 8%". Barrett Jackson is No Reserve on everything.

Nice car either way, but it shouldn't have trim rings on the honeycomb wheels in 71.

If he doesn't consign it at no reserve to BJ relatively soon there will be few if any slots left for the car unless he knows one of the insiders there. IMHO it's a crapshoot whether it brings 300K at BJ even if is a Teimann restored car.

Love the car, but would like him to state "original matching #s drivetrain" and sign a document to that effect.

Does anybody else have any objections to the trim tag?

I am familiar with this car, assuming it is the same one; (which it must be, since only 17 71 Judge Converts were ever built!) A friend of mine commissioned Scott Tiemann to restore it years ago. At the time of purchase, it was a nice solid car that had been featured in several magazines and a nice driver. The gentleman wanted the best of the best and was willing to pay Scott whatever it took to make it such. I believe he purchased the car out of Florida.

After restoration, the car made several show appearances including the Detroit Autorama, Meadowbrook Concours, GTOAA and POCI National Conventions where it pretty much won everything it could.

After showing the car, he drove it very sparingly in the Detroit area and eventually became bored with it and then sold it along with another 70 Judge Hardtop.

I have pictures of this car that I took at Detroit Autorama and Meadowbrook from back then.

I know the Owner of this car and the authenticity of it as well. His reputation is excelent as well.
If anyone is truly interested in seeing this Judge Convertible in Person, it will be displayed at the Fairfield County Concours D'Elegance
in Fairfield, CT
This Sunday 9/24/2006 .
Also at this show (weather permitting) will be My "N" Code 429 Torino GT, a Very special 68 Dodge Charger Dealer Promo car, 67 Belvedere GTX Hemi, and some other peoples rides as well. Last year David Letterman had his Ferrari there. My Draginwagon was displayed and also the FORD "King Cobra" Torino. Hemi head car. The Orange one.
This year (NO RAIN Please) this GTO will be there.

I looked at a black 1971 Judge last week and it had the same honeycomb wheels with the small trim rings just like the one on ebay. I can't believe that both these cars would be wrong.

Legendary Motor Cars has a 1971 Judge Convertible on their website with the same wheels with trim rings.
