alsancle Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I've been watching this car for about 2 years. It was with a dealer in Tenn or somewhere close before it moved to this one in FL. It is exactly my HS car except for the RAIII. Also, mine didn't have the hidden headlights and my tach was in the dash. I hate the fake Judge stripes. I sold mine for 2500 bucks in 1985. https://www.ebay.com/itm/114919346365 There is no good text for me to capture they way they did the ad. But it is matching numbers, documented, with some reasonably tasteful updates (not counting stripes). They made very very few RAIII convertibles, fewer sticks, and almost no Liberty Blue cars. I guess I would be stepping up now for the crazy price if I really wanted to get one. The crappy car is a picture of mine from 40 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Very nice GTO. I'm no fan of the Judge decals on this car either, but you'd think if one was going to bother putting them on, at least they'd put them on straight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Think they would come off with a little heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 First thing I do is take an old blow drier to dealer decals on any new stuff. Cannot imagine any issue here. Start one spot and peel it off slowly. Tougher to melt those Radial TAs than good ol bias ply though. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearheadengineer Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Careful application of heat gun and 3M rubber decal/residue remover tool will eliminate any trace of those Judge decals. Of course, for $90k I’d ask the seller to do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Wide Oval is a great looking tire. Horrible to drive on so I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day they weren’t any worse than the other bias ply options. I think I preferred Uniroyal Tiger Paws but don’t remember why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
