Tangled up in 'Vitamin C'

...after 35 years, setting in a small, dark, one car garage it is on the road again and running strong
...to recap the story, I purchased the Judge about 6 weeks ago from the original lady owner...it was the same GTO Judge I saw ONE TIME in 1969 when I was a 17 year old kid cruising the streets...I waited patiently for 40 years for the owner to sell it:rll:
...after 40 years it needed some minor things taken care of, but it started within a few minutes after new gas and spark were supplied...it started right up, and purrs like a tiger, after 35 years of silence...
...last week a national magazine sent a couple of guys here to do a Foto Shoot on both of my 69 GTO Judges, but the "Barn Judge" is the one they were most interested in...it has flaws, it's a survivor and will remain that way for as long as I own the car...they're only original once
...6 weeks ago, flat on it's belly
...last week for it's first public outing, still riding on NEW 35 year old tires, it's a keeper
