Again this has no bearing on a car that went to engineering, which I believe everyone has agreed that it did go there.

I have talked to Jim Wangers and Milt Schornack about that orange Judge with white interior. They both at different times and locations told me that the car was actually the Limelight Green performance brochure,postcard and dealer wall poster GTO that after that use was repainted orange and set up as a Judge. That car had a Ram Air IV originally.
I have left a message with Milt and I plan on having him read all this.

Sweet.

Rita she let me out of time out after I gave her a kiss.

Bob if your talking about the limelight green 69 that a 8X10 came with the invoice way back when you still called GM for a copy. The date on the 8X10 is 9/17/68, so the time frame could work out. The green one has power antenna, hideaways, and remote mirror. The Judge in Super Stock, the only one of the three you can make out is the mirror. The other thing, the Judge has the rear quarter moldings which was a later option I believe. You can't tell for sure, but the green GTO doesn't appear to have them.

On the Judge, the frame under the rocker panel looks like 30 years of weathering. That's kinda strange being it would have been less than a year old at the time of the pic. I suppose it could be mud or sand, seeing they were in Florida that would make sense.

Would be interesting to know if that was the green car, non the less.

I recall a guy out here in SoCalif that did a Clone RAV 69 Trans Am; I believe it was a convert. I also recall years ago he was in contact with a gentleman in New Mexico who had some of these original RAV parts. Took me for a ride in it; WOW! I was impressed and Im a BB Camaro guy! That car kicked b...! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Had an interesting phone call yesterday from the man that worked the assembly line back in 70 (the man that provided us with the perfect build sheet). He stated the engineering door was just a few feet away from the exit of the assembly line. It was his opinion that the cars that went to engineering, went there the day of the ship date on the invoice. And the most interesting thing.... there was one man that was responsible for running the cars through the assembly line that would end up going to engineering, he is still in contact with this man.

Cool huh?

He is a very nice gentleman, pleasure talking to him and hearing his stories. He hopes to talk to his engineering connection tomorrow and give us some info.

Cool. More information is always a good thing.
