Its not too often that one of these vehicles becomes available. This car belonged to my dad and I am selling if for my mom. For most of it's life (and mine) it has been stored in a climate controlled garage. It was purchased around 1980 and was meticulously maintained. I believe the previous owner had the paint done, but it is in great shape for being 30+ years old. This car is also 99% stock. Nuts and bolts are all original and the car took 2nd place in the 9th Annual International Meet of the GTO Association of America in 1988. I was told by my dad, that the only reason it didn't take 1st was due to the aftermarket gauge pod under the dash (he never trusted the dummy lights).

I have a ton of paperwork on the car including maintenance receipts, original window sticker, and PHS documents with reproduction window sticker. I just recently removed the car from storage in our barn and had it gone over from top to bottom. Surprisingly, it had no major issues after sitting mostly unused (I remember 3 times in my life and I'm 31 yrs old) for 30+ years. The brakes were completely overhauled. The carburetor was rebuilt and all of the electrical was checked. New factory correct (whitewall) radials were put on the car for drive-ability. Light polishing of the chrome to restore the luster and careful cleaning were performed to leave the car in "un-restored" condition.

All of this work was completed by a classic car restoration expert. This is a man who is asked to go to high-end auctions to buy very expensive cars for very wealthy people. He also has made a career of working on these cars and specializes in full classic car restoration. His credentials are endless. Anyway, he was taken aback by the vehicle and what miraculous condition it is in. 

The engine is a 389 with a stock 4 bbl setup (remember, this is 99% original). It has a 4 speed transmission with a posi-track rear-end. The top is electric and works great. There is also the original wood steering wheel. It has dual exhaust and starts up and runs great. 

The pictures tell most of the story but please do not hesitate to contact me with questions. This car is for the purest who wants the original GTO - the first year of this legacy. It will not disappoint

**Please note that despite this car not having a "5N" code on the data plate, it has been certified as an authentic GTO by PHS. Only 2 plants used this coding, Pontiac and Kansas City. This is a California car and Freemont did not use the "5N" designation. Also, for what it is worth the original window sticker has the matching VIN and Gran Turismo Omologato option clearly listed**

**The heads are 716 and the engine is 78X. I have additional pictures of the castings and stamp**

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
