Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible. * 1 of 29 Automatic Judge Convertibles ever made
* One of -- if not the -- Earliest GTO Judge Convertibles Built
* One of Only 108 GTO Judge Convertibles Produced
* Stunning and Fresh Restoration and Color Combination*
Only Test Miles Since Completion of Restoration Work 400 cid Ram Air III V-8 engine, single Rochester four-barrel
carburetor, 366 HP, GM M40 Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with
unequal-length A-arms and coil springs, live rear axle with four-link suspension and coil springs, and four-wheel
hydraulic brakes; wheelbase: 112" Just in case the owners of competing muscle cars began thinking Pontiac's
groundbreaking GTO was getting soft in the middle by 1968, the folks at Pontiac reminded them on December 18th of
that year that the GTO's performance and image were indeed alive and well. That reminder came with the release of
"The Judge," an unrestrained performance GTO with an irreverent attitude and marketing to match, with famous
taglines including "All Rise for The Judge" and the infamous line, "The Judge can be bought." While the Code WT1
Judge Option package added $337 to the standard GTO sticker price, it packed plenty of value. For starters, the
standard Judge engine was Pontiac's 400 cubic-inch Ram Air III high-performance engine with 366 factory-rated
horsepower. Dual functional hood scoops fed fresh, cool air into the deep-breathing RA II engine, with the air
intakes opened and closed as necessary with a push-pull cable actuated by a button marked "Ram Air" underneath the
dash panel. A 60-inch wide wing graced the rear deck and the GTO's innovative body-color, flexible Endura front
bumper surrounded a sinister blacked-out twin-element grille with optional retractable headlight covers. The
outrageous Carousel Red finish was topped by flashy body side graphic accent stripes and accented by a set of
silver-painted Rally II wheels devoid of bright trim rings surrounded by fiberglass-belted tires. Higher-rate
springs and recalibrated shocks brought handling and road holding up to the same standards as the engine's
performance, which propelled the car to easy 14-second quarter-mile times in bone-stock form. Only 6,725 Judge
hardtops and 108 convertibles were built for 1969 and their reputation has remained intact -- and impressive --
ever since. The survival rate of these road rockets has been quite small; however, the outstanding performance and
massive charisma of The Judge -- not to forget the visual impact of its flashy graphics -- have made it a longtime
favorite of performance-car fanatics. This 1969 GTO Judge is even more desirable as one of, if not the, first
examples of the GTO Judge Convertible produced. According to a copy of the original dealer invoice provided by
Pontiac Historical Services, which is included with the sale of this vehicle, this GTO Judge was shipped on March
25, 1969, and invoiced on March 31, 1969, to Queen City Pontiac in Plainfield, New Jersey. In addition to the Judge
package, the car was built to run, having been equipped new with only the M40 high-performance Turbo-Hydramatic 400
automatic transmission, power steering, and a pushbutton radio. As equipped, the car carried a suggested retail
price of $4,188.72. The current owner acquired The Judge from the prior owner of 30 years and then commissioned its
total restoration by Acceleration Restoration, which was recently completed in 2014. Power is provided by a
correct, date-coded "YZ" engine block and the transmission and rear end are understood to be original to the car.
Exceptional detailing defines this stunning restoration, from the sleek "coke bottle" bodylines to the eye-popping
Carousel Red paint finish, black interior, and impeccably finished and detailed Ram Air III engine and surrounding
engine bay. Historically significant as the launch of an icon, exceedingly rare with limited test miles on a recent
impressive restoration, usher this Judge into the select chambers of muscle car royalty.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

A case for Pontiac's return

Wed, Apr 5 2017

Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
