wow bench seat column shift ram air 4

Wow, what a mess. Basically buying the vin tag and engine.

This is a super rare RAIV Judge. Maybe 1 of 58 with a bench seat and shift on the column. I am 57 years old and have now seen only 3 of these cars. This White car, a red car and black car. Wow! Thanks for posting this auction! This made my day.

definitely rough but it runs.

Cool car I lived in Melbourne once and thought I’d scoured every inch of that place for ram air cars. Guess I missed . That car is from a dealership that had a RAIV firebird drag car .

Correction…. I have seen 4 of these cars. Forgot about the Liberty Blue 69 Judge RAIV bench seat car that sold new in Milan, GA.

Old Rusty sounded surprisingly good!

Yea, also the Rear Assy, TH400, Tach, 1/4 and door glass, and pull Knob. Every bit else is replacement theology.

rebody for sure IMO.Tom

i recently sold my 69 judge ra4 bench seat 4 speed 4:33. i owned it for 30 something years.

Yes don’t forget that one it’s been fully restored

You can add a couple more to the list I’ve seen a carousel red automatic on the column RAIV bench seat in Tucson, Arizona on Speedway Boulevard and owned a 69 Vedoro green automatic on the column RAIV bench seat , along with the liberty blue/ parchment Georgia judge

I lived in Melbourne about my entire life (moved there when I was 2). Recently left the area in 2020 after retiring. I have never seen or heard of this car and I have been doing Pontiacs for over 30 years. I suspect it was someone who moved into the area (appears to be an apartment complex with garages) in the last few years. I was able to buy a 70 OO RAIV Judge 4 speed car in that area. Also picked up several sets of RAIV heads and missed a 455SD fitted block still strapped to the crate! Melbourne was not a hot bed of automobile culture. It was mostly a retirement town for a long time. However when the Space Program came to town things started happening. Also Patrick Air Force Base in its heyday had a lot of young enlisted men who were into cars (and surfing). That area was not kind to sheetmetal. Living beachside and keeping a car outside pretty much guaranteed it was rusted out in a couple of years.

and a re-frame.

Carbonator doesnt have plant-pick code.
So either a decoy or a 1979 SR
Can't say for sure its even a Rochester , might be a Carter Qjet

No PwrStr , No PwrBrks
Barebone stripper type

Its definitely been a Coastal Florida car for long enough.
Will need everything , as in Everything.
As Hobi would say - a 4 Rivet Restoration

Has already made reserve @ 21k with 5 days left

Maybe Hobi should resurrect the Rizzo report?

Anyone else absolutely hate reading the ridiculously bloated and over the top descriptions for these cars on BaT?

How good was it ?
Orange car ?
Did it have an engine ?

I think Rizzo went to work for BaT as a shill bidder .
Raking in the dough , instead of shoveling out the sh'it .

And Hobi seems to have disappeared , along with the MetalFinisher.
idunno
Probably in business together now .
:D

This one is actually on Barn Finds .
I didn't even know they had an auction site.

But I agree , they get a little bloaty .
This one in particular seems way too sympathetic.
A Florida hood in that condition - should probably try to be saved ?

You'd be lucky if even the seats can be re-used for cores.
This car is ready to start popping holes in all kind of crazy places from the inside out.
When you see a Florida car in this shape , only expect the very worst.

I like the car and hope someone can save it.
But its going to be a cowl swap or a 4RivetResto , and a marked car.
