Oh yes! These were pristine cars. The orange one was 1 of 239 according to the papers.

In the market to buy a judge, are you?

I'd be more interested in any of these cars, I have to say.

Not me, but my wife and I did see a guy in handcuffs surrounded by a few of Auburn's finest. He may be in the market for one now .

This time of year, I get the feeling that I need to find a project car. Then I realize, that would cut into my lens and K-1 fund .

Thank you! It's only a 7hr drive from Tennessee. There's a small airport just outside of town where the Lehrjets and small planes land in case you have one of those.

These were part of the Auction this weekend here in Auburn. There's the big auction from Auctions America, just of I69 and CR 11A. The GTO's were at the Worldwide Auctions event, behind the ACD museum inside the NATMUS museum. I'm not sure what the normal displays are at the NATMUS museum.

Goes from Thursday to Sunday during Labor Day weekend

Nice pix, thanls for posting.

The orange colour GTO 'Judge' was actually called carousel red...I know, I know...it looks orange to me too.

I never had a GTO Judge, but I did have a ride in one years ago. It had a 4 speed, was a convertible and boy did it go...that rumbling V8 exhaust note just enhanced the open ride in the convert. They are lovely cars, still have an incredible demand and I believe always will.

Thank you! Someone must have switched paint labels at the factory so they could have an "orange" one.
