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.

Junkyard Gem: 1964 Pontiac Catalina Custom Ventura

Mon, May 22 2023

Like Impala, Skylark, Malibu and Silverado (among many others), the Ventura name began its career as the designation for a trim level or option package used on another GM model, then became a model name in its own right. Initially a designation for a snazzed-up Pontiac Catalina two- or four-door hardtop, the Ventura name moved over to a Pontiac-ized version of the Chevy Nova for 1971. Today's Junkyard Gem, found in a Northern California car graveyard, proudly bears both Catalina and Ventura badging. Actually, the Catalina name itself started out as a trim level for the Chieftain and Star Chief models of the 1950s, just to confuse everybody. By the time this car was built, the Catalina was the cheapest of four Pontiac models built on the same full-size B-Body platform as the big Chevrolets and Olds 88s of the time (the Star Chief, Bonneville and Grand Prix ranked above it on the 1964 Pontiac Prestige-O-Meter). The 1964 Catalina four-door hardtop with the Custom Ventura package offered a lot of swank per dollar, with a price starting at $3,063. That's about $29,821 when converted to inflated 2023 dollars. The main benefit of the Custom Ventura package was an interior done up entirely in Morrokide upholstery. Morrokide was the name GM applied to Naugahyde fake leather when used in Pontiac vehicles; when used in Buicks, it was known as Cordaveen, while Oldsmobile Naugahyde was called Morocceen. Naugahyde took its name from the town of Naugatuck, Connecticut, where it was invented. This car's Morrokide is in rough shape. In fact, everything about this car is decayed and probably infectious. You know to be careful when a junkyard car has warnings about rat feces inked on the glass. That said, I couldn't resist examining the 8-track tapes that littered the interior. Here's Hotel California, the 1976 hit album by the Eagles. Supertramp's Paris, a live album recorded from the 1979 Breakfast in America tour, is here as well. Here's The Best of Carly Simon, from 1975. The tapes were played on this Sparkomatic player, which probably lived in the glovebox or under the seat. The factory radio was AM-only, and includes the frequency markings for the atomic-attack CONELRAD emergency frequencies. 1964 was the last year for mandatory CONELRAD radios in the United States.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
