Born on the 2nd Week of April, 1969  and was Delivered to Dave Pyles Motors Inc. in Marlow Heights, MD.  PHS Documentation shows it came with the following options;

Ram Air III, 400 cu. V8,  w/M-20 4 speed, functional Ram Air inlets, hood tach, safe-t-track rear end w/3.55 gears, power steering, power breaks (w/front disc), Ralley wheels,  Black Buckets, Center Console, AM/FM Radio, Tinted Windows, Dome Light, Rear De-frost, and Optional Lock.

We added the wood steering wheel and chrome exhaust tips. The original steering wheel comes with car.

Previous Owners included many receipts and personal affects including P.O.C.I. Membership. Owners Manual. Service Manual. Hot Rod Magazine - Pontiac Advertisement. Parking Sign.

From the Documents and Further online research I was able to compile the history back to 1979. When it was purchased by a noted Pontiac enthusiast in Virgina, who sadly died earlier this year. His obituary, viewable online, mentions little about his occupation, but dedicates a full paragraph to his love for, and restoration of, Pontiacs. He left receipts and his POCI club membership. He is survived by a son, who is also searchable online, and his current Pontiacs are featured along with dedications to his father's passions. In 1993 he sold it to Mike Injaian, of North Wales PA. Mike included numerous receipts, personal affects and was reachable by email. He conveyed his love for the vehicle which he drove twice from his home to the Woodward Dream Cruises of 02' and 03'. Mike is also featured online, for his outrageous GTO projects. This unbroken chain of enthusiast ownership continues to 2005, when John O'Quinn, the legendary Texas litigator and car collector, took possession of the vehicle. The owner of over 800 world class vehicles he was building a museum to house his collection. Between 07-08' the Judge received a full restoration and was driven until O'Quinn's sudden death in 09'. This Judge, along with his entire collection, was caught up in litigation, eventually sold earlier this year.

After sitting in storage while Mr. O'Quinn's estate was liquidated, I went about addressing any and all things that needed attention. Over the past 4 months, while fighting constant urges to just keep driving it (I still ended up putting a little over a thousand miles in 4 months) additional minor work revealed itself, and was always completed by accomplished mechanics (recommended by the president of our local GTO club). Receipts for all work comes in a book with the previous owner's materials, and our work performed included; 4 New Tires, Rebuilt Carb, New Master Brake Cylinder, Bled Brakes, Front and Rear Shocks. Right Upper Control Arm, New Radiator, Cap and Hoses, Left Rear Tail Light, Thermostat and Gasket, Oil Sending Unit, Spark Plugs, Trans Mount, Oil Service, Trans Serivce, and Every Fluid possible. Additional repairs included new Weather Stripping, Kick Panels, Drip Rails, and Carpeting.

It now goes even better than it looks. It really is a phenomenal drive. You can take it as far and as fast as you want.  Included in the photographs are the Engine and Trans vin, which match directly to the last six digits of the vehicle VIN - and the other original, matching date coded parts. A pic of the engine prod # is also shown, and reads 0663663 WS. The picture of the transmission has many numbers, but if you look side-ways, and on the left of the photo, you'll see the vin which reads P294022.  In addition to the PHS, Dealer Order Form, and various other documents proving its provenance, the sheer amount of originality and rich ownership history only bolster what is already a very on-point, happy car.    

The only major deviation, which actually leaves meat on the bone for a new owner, is that it did not come from the factory in Carousel Red. This was originally a color code 67 (Burgundy) car. I have never seen a Burgundy 69' Judge, except the original Hot Wheels car, that came in that color. The odd fact is, it's spent most of its life, with Carousel Red paint. The oldest known owner I spoke to, Mike from PA, stated that when he purchased the car, it was already this color. And he left it be. John O'Quinn likely wanted the iconic color, and kept it as such. With no body work required, and a still coated and clean, completely rust free under-carriage, and engine compartment, if the color were returned to Burgundy, along with all the numbers matching components, you'll have a rare, #'s matching Judge. Or, if the maximum possible resale isn't why you're interested, and you just want something to love, there's more than enough of that.

I am located in Calabasas, CA and invite serious buyers to inspect and test drive for themselves. I shot a little video so you can hear and see for yourself, if I can't post it here, ask me for it, and I'll happily email. I am open to partial or full trades (keep it muscle and American or don't offer).

Domestic or International Buyers welcome. Winning bidder must arrange for shipping and all funds must be received prior to releasing vehicle and title.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

Pontiac Aztek rises from the ashes of infamy in Firebird Trans Am guise

Thu, Apr 9 2020

What if the Pontiac Aztek, one of the most widely ridiculed vehicles ever built, was reimagined with a little flair from one of the former brand’s more legendary cars? Well, it turns out that someone not only came up with that idea, but followed up on it. And so, we present to you the Pontiac Aztek Firebird Trans Am, uh, trim package? ItÂ’s not real, of course, but it comes from Abimelec Arellano, an Hermosillo, Mexico-based car designer with too much time on his hands who goes by the name Abimelec Design. Arellano redesigned the midsize SUVÂ’s wimpy front fascia to surprising success by simply adding widened fender flares and perhaps modernizing the headlights. He also went all-in embracing the AztekÂ’s abrupt, flattened rear end by removing the rear bumper lip, adding a slightly more aggressive rear spoiler to boot. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Elsewhere, the dominating and cheap-looking gray plastic under-cladding is gone in favor of body-color panels. Arellano also added some probably larger Pontiac Snowflake wheels with gold accents that really make them pop and play well against the signature Firebird decal dominating the hood. Commenters generally fall into one of two buckets. As one put it, “I never thought the Aztek could look this good.” Others implored Arellano to do a version with a T-top. Or as one Autoblog editor put it, “So it turns out the reason the Aztek was a laughingstock failure is that it didnÂ’t come in a Smokey and the Bandit Edition. Somewhere, a dude who got shouted down in a product-planning meeting years ago is vindicated.” Sold between 2001 and 2005, the Aztek arguably reached the pinnacle of its notoriety as the metaphor for the drab, underachieving life of Walter White in AMCÂ’s meth drama, “Breaking Bad.” It came equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 that made 185 horsepower and sent it through a four-speed automatic to the front wheels, with an all-wheel drive version also available. The Aztek may have the last laugh, especially if it gets a screaming chicken. “The fact it was a controversial design and didnÂ’t sell well will make it an object of curiosity from a historical standpoint many years from now,” McKeel Hagerty, president and CEO of classic-car insurer Hagerty Insurance, told Autoblog back in 2016.
