Here is my baby. A few before and after shots. She is a 1970 Lemans 400/400m stock, for the most part. I have been working on it for the last 2 years and just got it put all back together. Its not pretty yet but the body is staright and it runs like a champ. I like the for my cars to run well before i work on beauty. There is nothing worse to me than a pretty car with $10k paint job that doesn't run or runs like crap. I cant wait until my car graduates to the next level like the cars i have been seeing on here. Lookin good Guys!!!!

Damn Brian, that car was a wet dream to guys like us in High School back in the late 70's early 80's!

Even though ive had my 69 Judge for almost 27 years I really have a sweet spot for the 70s, since ive moved to Georgia a little over 3 years ago ive had 3 of them.

Ain't that the truth. Great find!

My 1971 GTO. I had the decals custom cut in metallic silver to go with my black and chrome scheme.

Chrome 16" rims fill out the wheel wells nicely too.

Here's the car she traded in on it:


Here's me with that car in 1970:


The original color is Cardinal Red.

As for the odd vinyl top... From what I can figure out... the white top was added by the dealership. The PHS shows no vinyl. It was originally vinyl but it now just painted white. I suspect this was a Florida thing. Ever seen another like it? You can see the top was like this the day she brought it home in June of 1972 in this picture:



My Grandmother loved this car and took excellent car of it over the years she had it. She put about 250K miles on the car. It was her only source of transportation from 1972-2002 It has been repainted, but almost everything else is original (even the hubcaps are the originals).

Here she is with it a few years before she passed away:


Here's a shot of me on Christmas morning in about 1981 with the car. I was told to take all the wrapping paper trash out to grandmas car and she was going to take it home and put in her dumpster. When I opened the trunk I found myself a brand new bike.



I have fond memories of this car. in 1972 I drove from Florida to Utah with her in it right after she bought it. I can still remember that none of the kids were allowed in the car till they removed their shoes. Apparently that was a good call seeing as though all the interior is still original. Even the dash pad is still perfect:




very cool pics....
