I don't know of another car that has a trunk but no way to unlock it with key. Strange, huh?

That is it for today Carl, HNIC is over now too so it's time for some shut eye! That was a tough one, but go ahead.

What is the most obvious difference between the prototype/magazine road test Judge and the production unit?

This one may have more than one answer, but there is one difference I feel is VERY obvious.

Another Hurst Question...

What is the colour and level of finish (flat, semi-gloss or gloss) on the trunk lid of a 68 Hurst Olds?

Geez Carl, I think I know this Judge question, there is no traditional Judge decal on it, it has a wierd stripe that ends just before the door handle and the rear spolier is taller and more upright than production cars.

Even more obvious than that. You could see this from 200 feet away. (and it's not the color) But as I recall, you are talking about the right car. Remember something else about it?

Hey, weren't you supposed to be going to bed now???!!!

I never thought of that. It may have been. I'm looking for a MAJOR difference, and it's not colour.

No, that's the older GTO. This is the Judge prototype.

Here's a clue to give it away. The prototype was not yet named the Judge. Originally it was called "ET" before it was called the Judge. It's the ET car that had major appearance difference, easily visible on a drive by.

The only other thing I can think of is it had cornering lamps, very odd I think.

Yes, it's a one off design but there is still something about it besides what I know you are saying. I don't know how to give a clue without giving the answer.

Answer (Boy I sure hope I'm right after this long dragged out affair!)

The Judge prototype (the ET ) was a 2 door post car.

Ok, so the 68 Hurst Olds trunk question is still not answered.

Next-

What common performance option available on the 70 Chevelle SS was not available on the 71 and 72 SS350 Chevelles?

Wasn't the Malibu known as a Chevy 2 in the prototype stage? I think I've seen pics.

Hmmm, didn't know that but I'm looking for an actual performance option.

I don't think the stripes make the car go any faster!!!
