The GTO Judge that rose from the flames and looks hotter than ever.
In 1999 a fire broke out in a storage facility that held a large number of cars from the collection, and scores of cars were damaged or destroyed. The fabulous green convertible Judge was in the building that day, but it survived enough to be salvageable, so Dick hung onto it and planned to have it restored.
Dick passed away from cancer in 2011, but his dream of having the 1970 Judge returned to its former glory didn't pass with him. Lance eventually got the family's restoration guy, Steve Hoeft, to get serious about finishing the lengthy rescue project. After all, he had been there in the beginning when Dick bought the car to begin with back in 1981.
Freddie Mercury's personal 1974 Rolls-Royce Shadow will cross the block at RM Sotheby's November 5th auction in London, UK. The proceeds to go towards building a new hospital in the Lviv province of Ukraine.
The Savoy Automobile is running the temporary exhibition 'Fast Brass' featuring vehicles built during the Brass Era (1890s - 1910s), highlighting large motor vehicles decorated with brass trim and brass headlights.
Auto-Archives, a growing library of automotive and motorsport reference material based in the Denver, Colorado area since 2010, is relocating to the NB Center for American Automotive Heritage in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
