Default Question on 1971 Judge ragtops

Which car was the elusive one that was advertised by a doctor about 25-30 years ago?

OK, found it here:

But what's the story on it? That's a Hemmings ad from the early-1980s?

Very neat ad from HMN. Wonder what the good Doctor meant by Heavy Duty Swiss Cheese Frame? The vert frames were all fully boxed IIRC. And also, wouldn't it have had a 3.07:1 12-bolt rear (455 H.O./Air/TH400) instead of the 3.55 he listed in the ad? He was the Original Owner and had all the documentation which should have properly listed the gear ratio. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
BJ

Vert frames have a series of holes in them which would give the swiss cheese appearance - must have been what he meant.

I think you're overthinking it. For one thing, it was a long time ago. Plus, haven't you met an owner who's been wrong about his car?

The Boss can't even find his bathroom half the time, much less know about his cars.

That ad brings back memories! I remember seeing it when I was like 12 years old when my Dad subscribed to Hemmings. I would pour through every ad. I liked all cars at that time but became a GTO/Pontiac guy.
