Background
Pontiac updated the GTO's styling for 1970, giving it a new Endura nose with exposed headlamps, bodyside creases, and a revised rear bumper. Few muscle cars made a bolder visual statement than the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. Graphics and wings were wilder for '70. "The Judge" decals returned, multihued stripes appeared over the bodyside creases, and the 60-inch rear wing now stood high and proud on the tail. "The Judge," observed Road Test magazine, "is not for people who are shy about being looked at."
But there was no shortage of substance here. The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was all about unbridled muscle car performance. The Ram Air III brought 10.5:1 compression and produced 366hp at 5,100 RPM. The M20 had wide-ratios, while the M21 was a close-ratio. All of these manual transmissions were attached to 10.4-inch-diameter clutch discs in 400-inch engines. All four-speed Judges got a Hurst T-handle shifter. The 400-cid V-8 came with functional hood scoops (an underdash knob controlled air flow).
Although cornering was never The Judge's strongest trait, it became much more fun in 1970 due to some important suspension modifications. A .875-inch anti-roll bar was fitted in the rear for the first time, and the front bar was enlarged to 1.125 inches in diameter. These bars were coupled with stronger lower rear control arms for 400-cu.in. cars, and those with four-speed manuals gained extra frame reinforcement brackets. Revised springs, and revised shock valving including the introduction of variable-ratio power steering also improved response.
Because The Judge was the top-level GTO, it was fitted with expanded vinyl Morrokide buckets with "comfort weave" inserts, standard headrests, a center console and a dashboard trimmed in woodgrain and engine-turned metal.
Only 3,797 copies of the Judge were sold in 1970. But for extroverts, limited-production car collectors, speed freaks and fans of late Sixties pop culture, the wildest GTO of all is tops. Sporty young and young-at-heart drivers will feel right at home behind the wheel of The Judge. More than 40 years ago, in an attempt to recapture some of the sales they lost to the saturated muscle car market, the Pontiac Motor Division gave the GTO a similar treatment, and The Judge was born and continues it’s iconic status in the muscle car era.

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM.Â

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery. Here are some numbers for you: 480 horsepower, 634 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 260 miles of range. Price? Well, thatÂ’s really up to you, because if you enter to win this Mach-E GT. it can be as low as $0. Here are the specs of the Mach-E in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: fully electric motors Drivetrain: eAWD Exterior Color: Rapid Red Metallic  Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 480 hp Maximum Torque: 634 lb-ft Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Range: 235 miles Approximate Retail Value: $75,500 Cash Alt: $56,625 Special Features: GT Performance Edition; panoramic fixed-glass roof; Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 and 360-degree camera; Brembo brakes; RTR Design Package including 20” RTR Aero 5 wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 tires and RTR Speed Block graphics Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Joel Stocksdale, News Editor: There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod.
