I like the color. Not crazy about the steering wheel or dumbass red air cleaner decal

The decals were custom and said The Farmer instead of The Judge

No idea if it was an actual Judge or just a put together idea.
At one time I seem to recall he did have a 70 Judge that he bought new.
But no idea if this was that car.

Mecum sucks on lack of credentials and not posting the PHS on Pontiacs.
It should be mandatory

I agree about the PHS. What if you are bidding and not in attendance, that is documentation of what the car is. Unless they give non attending bidders that info when they are registered.

I wonder what the magical parts he put in there they were discussing.

Nice looking car anyways.

[QUOTE=post toastie;6505453]Times Ten ?!? on PHS, air cleaner sticker "help me understand" why you would put the sticker on the air cleaner if your a pontiac guy. Dont like the steering wheel, I am not a fan of the 17 inch rallies.
A very nice car. "Bid was up to $100K today, didn’t meet reserve. Arnie was in attendance" Beer; yes he was there.

I like the colour and thought the 17's didn't look bad.

Any idea what the tire size is? I couldn't find any details on the Mecum site.

I can't find anything about the supposed 70 Judge that Arnie bought new (or received new) and kept for so long .
I think there were blurbs about it on here several years back.
It was a burgandy Ram3 car. Not a race car.

Also can't remember if it was about to be sold back then either. Probably not.
I think the car at Mecum was form of a tribute to the one he got new , and possibly still owns.
