1969 Pontiac Gto "real Phs Documented "judge" Numbers Matching on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge"
This
is a rare opportunity to own one of the nicest factory Pontiac GTO Judge
Ram-Air III's left in existence. This is an authentic code 242 GTO
with the extremely rare special ordered code 72 Carousel Red paint and
"The Judge" option. The data plate shown in the pictures
verifies all of the information on this Judge. This hard to find goat is
fully documented by the Pontiac Historical Society, and is also in the Judge
Registry. This GTO was an original rust free Texas car that has always
been absent of rust and corrosion from day one. It was purchased
brand new from Taylor Pontiac located at 128 S. Lancaster Avenue in Dallas
Texas. I made the purchase in January of 2010 from the Auto Worx
Classic Car Museum in Hollywood Florida where it was admired for many years.
This is the first public offering, so take advantage and bid today. This true
Judge went through a meticulous full cosmetic and mechanical restoration.
The body panels were removed to be painted off of the car. The front windshield
and rear window were also removed. This was an accurate and correct
restoration to insure that the body would come out laser straight. The
factory original functioning Ram-Air hood has the awesome hood tachometer
option that works beautifully, and lights up well at night. The Ram-Air
III numbers matching Big Block 400 was completely rebuilt to factory
specifications. The original Turbo Hydromatic 400 transmission was also
completely rebuilt. This Pontiac GTO with the Judge option starts, drives, and
stops as well as the mileage showing on the odometer, although it can
not be verified as original. This car plain and simply runs, looks,
and drives like new. The head lights, bright lights, turn signals, emergency
lights, license plate light, side marker lights, and interior lights all
work as they should. The dual exhaust is entirely new with correct pipes
including the mufflers, and the correct chrome exhaust tips for the 1969 GTO.
This goat has power steering and the wood wheel is in pristine condition.
Anyone who knows these cars, knows how rare the center PMD horn button is. The
original dash pad is in mint condition, and the speedometer is
accurate with all the gauges working correctly. The factory options
include the unique Judge spoiler, rally gauges, clock, remote controlled
chrome drivers mirror, and power front disc brakes. The entire braking system
has been completely gone through to allow this goat stop on a dime. The
entire interior was reupholstered, including the bucket seats, rear seat, all
the side panels, carpeting, new door sills, and all new rubber gaskets.
This car originally came with an AM radio, but now has a
factory AM/FM, although the speaker needs to be replaced. The
original factory air conditioning is completely hooked up, recently totally rebuilt and blows ice cold. The original 1969 factory Pontiac owner's
manual is included inside the glove box. I tried to replace all of the
factory correct decals to make this Judge appear the way it did when it rolled
out of the factory onto the showroom floor back in 1969. This Judge rides
on a brand new set of four raised white lettered B. F. Goodrich Advantage
GT radials on the Pontiac rally wheels with all new PMD center caps, and all
new correct GTO lug nuts. The rock solid undercarriage was detailed with
black satin paint, and a new gas tank was installed. The trunk compartment
was coated with AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray, and then clear coat was
applied to make it appear factory correct. A nicely restored original jack
sits on top of a new trunk mat. There is a full size detailed rally
wheel spare in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you
can be back driving looking complete in minutes. This GTO still has its
original "Safety Track" 10-bolt Posi-traction rear-end. The majority of
"The Judge" models had a manual transmission. This car is one of 1534
built with an automatic transmission making this particular Judge even more
rare and highly desirable with factory ordered air conditioning.
An exorbitant amount of pain staking hours, time, money, and effort
went into restoring this Judge to show quality status. The Nada Classic Car
Price Guide that anyone can look up on line has the 1969 Pontiac GTO with the
Ram-Air 400/366 horsepower engine, and the air conditioning
option currently listed at $156,465 in high condition, $67,905 in average
condition, and $33,885 in the lowest condition. The condition of this Judge
is virtually perfect, yet the reserve price is much less than the average
Nada value of this gem. This is a True Carousel Red beauty that I feel
confident when I say there will be no disappointments. This Judge is as close
to factory fresh as they come. I believe everywhere this car is driven, you
will be the spectacle of the neighborhood. This Pontiac is an investment
that will continue to rise as these cars have proven to consistently
escalate in value. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back
in high school, or maybe wants to show off at their high school reunion to
prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your
dream car. I try to list everything I
can think of when I write a description, so every potential bidder can make the
most informed decision prior to placing their bid. If you feel I may have
left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in
answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. Car is sold as is. Please call Rich at 804-339-0631 with any questions.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

Gordon Murray, F1-driven production and .. the Pontiac Fiero
Tue, Oct 31 2017Gordon Murray's design and engineering chops are unquestionable. But does his carmaking approach owe something to the short-lived Pontiac Fiero, a scrappy little car program that emerged from GM against serious resistance? Murray had a Formula One career that ran from 1969 to 1991, with stints at Brabham ('69 to '86) and McLaren ('87-'91), that resulted in several shelves' worth of trophies for the cars he was instrumental in designing. He moved on to McLaren Cars, the consumer side of things, where, during his tenure from 1991 to 2004, he helped design the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, two cars that took learnings from his two decades in Formula One. What do all of these cars have in common? Three things: They are light. They were built in limited numbers. And they were (and are) exceedingly expensive—when the McLaren F1 debuted in 1994, it stickered at $815,000. Murray went on to establish Gordon Murray Design in 2007. GMD has created some interesting concept vehicles, such as the diminutive T.25 city car (94.5 inches long, 51.1 inches wide and 55.1 inches high), and the OX, a lightweight truck for the developing world that packs like an IKEA shelf and is working toward realization through a worthy crowdfunding campaign established by the Global Vehicle Trust. Now he has created a vehicle manufacturing company, Gordon Murray Automotive, that will use manufacturing methods that he developed under the moniker "iStream." Unlike a unibody, there are the "iFrame," a cage-like construction made with metallic components, and the "iPanels," which are composite. The panels aren't simply a decorative skin; they actually provide structure to the vehicle. Presumably this has something of the F1 monocoque about it. Going back to the three elements, (1) this arrangement results in a vehicle that can be comparatively light; (2) Murray has indicated that his manufacturing company will be doing limited-run production; and (3) to launch Gordon Murray Automotive they are going to be building a flagship model, about which Murray said, "With our first new car, we will demonstrate a return to the design and engineering principles that have made the McLaren F1 such an icon." Which seems to imply that it will be on the pricey side. According to the company's verbiage, "iStream forges an entirely new production method that defies conventionality with its Formula One-derived construction and materials technologies." It also sounds a whole lot like ...
This or That: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 vs. 1984 Pontiac Fiero
Tue, Feb 10 2015Welcome to another round of This or That, where two Autoblog editors pick a topic, pick a side and pull no punches. Last round pitted yours truly against Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, and my chosen VW Vanagon Syncro narrowly defeated Brandon's 1987 Land Rover. In fact, it was, by far, the closest round we've seen, with 1,907 voters seeing things my way (for 50.8 percent of the vote) versus 1,848 votes for Brandon's Rover (49.2 percent). Sweet, sweet victory! For this latest round of This or That, I've roped Editor Greg Migliore into what I think is a rather fun debate. We've each chosen our favorite terrible cars, setting a price limit of $10,000 to make sure neither of us went too crazy with our automotive atrocities. I think we've both chosen terribly... and I mean that in the best way possible. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Jeremy Korzeniewski: Why It's Terrible: Taken in isolation, the Chrysler Crossfire isn't necessarily a terrible car. In fact, it drives pretty darn well, and there's a lot of solid engineering under its slinky shape. Problem is, that engineering was already rather long in the tooth well before Chrysler ever got its hands on it, having come from Mercedes-Benz, which used the basic chassis and drivetrain in a previous version of its SLK coupe and roadster. Granted, the SLK was an okay car, too, but even when new, it hardly set the world on fire with sporty driving dynamics. Chrysler took these decent-but-no-more bits and pieces from the Mercedes parts bin – remember, this car was conceived in the disastrous Merger Of Equals days – and covered them with a rather attractive hard-candy shell. Unfortunately, the super sporty shape wrote checks in the minds of buyers that its well-worn mechanicals were simply unable to cash, though an injection of power courtesy of a supercharged V6 engine in the SRT6 model, as seen here, certainly helped ease some of those woes. In the end, Chrysler was left with a so-called halo car that looked the part but never quite performed the part. It was almost universally panned by critics as an overpriced parts-bin special, which, I must add, was damningly accurate. As a result, sales were very slow, and within the first few months, dealers were clearancing the car at cut-rate prices, just to keep them from taking up too much of the showroom floor. Why It's Not That Terrible, After All: I can speak from personal experience when discussing the Chrysler Crossfire. You see, I owned one. Well, sort of...
