Yes, that is the one. I was the first caller to the guy from ga. and made him an offer he couldnt refuse. I have no other pictures and i stuffed it in a barn. It needs way more work than the first guy said, so i'll get on it at a later date when i'm done with the others. Could be years, but i've been looking for this car for 25 years. Good part is, its very clean. I must have accidently rubbed against chuck a few weeks ago because not only was i was lucky enough to get the car, last week i came across a complete WC motor with the M-22 still attatched to it, and yes, the carb too!

Well, i wouldnt go that far. It does have a 455 in it and a 4-speed, but it hasnt been all butchered up, but its still a mess. It needs a complete restoration, and i just happen to own a restoration shop and specialize in GTO'S and JUDGES, so its in good hands. It does however still have the upper ram air pan attatched and most engine bay parts are still there and restorable.

Will look like this when its done, only a few more cubes and no air. This is my old 71 400 with ram air. If anyone is interested, i sold this car to a high school friend and the deal was i got first dibs to buy it back when he was ready. Well now he wants me to take it in on trade for the 69 judge i'm working on now, but i finally got the 71 judge i wanted that one to be, so i think he wants to sell it. Got gold in 06 and scored in the top 5 in 07, however needs a few things changed to be perfect, but they're all fixable.

might keep this orange, and do stripes.
might change to a metallic orange. might get a wing. do you think that air cleaner is too small for my 068 455? its about 1 1/2" high x about 12" across, just guessing, not in my hand right now, its one of those autozone edelbrock cheapies. |

Hummm, by the comparison of notime's & my rad. hose position at the valve cover, looks like i'm gonna' to need to shorten my upper hose to get the heat riser elbow to clear the hose well enuf. It wont fit correct now.

Thanks guys...Finding a complete WC with carb (hopefully 273 RA) and a M-22 attached is golden. Then, having a nice 71 Judge to put it in is even better. That will be a great combo, and your work is top notch.
I look forward to seeing that car someday soon....Chris is your HO vert car ongoing??

It's sitting in the corner again Mike, on the rotisserie, on it's side. I need to have a talk with Ralph - he's really gotten into 50's style led sled/hot rods again, may have worked through his muscle restoration phase. Maybe I should visit more often, might light a fire for him.

Did you mean to say rust instead of dust?

Last time I saw my GT-37 was after blasting and a primer sealer to prevent rust. Inside and out( body looks very good). Still needs some work before paint. The process is long and expensive for me. But, it is in the hands of guys that can do the great work.

You've had the engine for the GT37 done for almost two years now haven't you? Seems like it has been that long since you posted pics of in after you got it back. Great photos of your white Judge by the way! BJ
