This amazing 1970 GTO Judge Convertible-tribute Coming out of a private collection.

 

The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was one of the most potent muscle cars of the era, and surely one of the most outrageous in terms of styling. There were approximately 37 real 1970 GTO judge Convertibles with the powerful 455 built. With bright colors, stripes, and a rear wing, it gave the Judge a unique look that was backed by equally stunning performance. But with prices for real Judge convertibles running in $100,000.00’s the outstanding tributes are a great value.


The ultimate 1970 Judge Convertible color arguably is the Cardinal RED which was a Judge trademark that looks amazing on the GTO's aggressively styled ragtop bodywork. Everything is smooth and slick, with a lot of time invested in getting it all smooth and shiny, and thanks to modern paint technology, the color probably pops a lot more than it did in 1970s. Pontiac's revolutionary Endura bumper gives the front of the GTO a unique look with their traditional split grille, and when combined with chrome headlight openings and Ram Air vents on the hood, this car definitely looks aggressive.
 With the special Judge graphics, rear wing out back, and quad exhaust tips it gives this Judge power and authority!


A red bucket seat interior with the “HIS/HERS” shifter console works perfectly with the cardinal red presentation.. pegging the aggression meter while still keeping the luxury and comfort for which Pontiac had become justifiably famous.

New red seat covers, door panels, along with new  carpet and carpet custom GTO logo floor mats that match the red carpet gives her the “new car look”.

 

 The dash offers three deeply recessed instruments, but there's no tach because it is mounted out front on the hood ………the most desirable Judge option of all!  

 

 This stunning Judge Convertible has its factory installed “ice cold ” A/C!

 

She has the original AM/FM  push button radio in the engine-turned dash as well as a custom designed and installed multiple speaker and sub-woofer hidden in the trunk high powered surround system. The head unit and volume subwoofer control in hidden in the glove box and the power amp and sub-woofer are custom installed in the side trunk panels.

 

 She adorns a brand new factory black power convertible top/glass rear window and has the factory boot.

 

Performance is effortless thanks to Pontiac's muscular 1970 455 cubic inch V8, which specializes in torque production. From the Ram Air hood scoops to the Pontiac Turquoise paint on the block, this one has been factory detailed correctly, and the condition of all the under hood components displays that the work is not only high-quality, but recently done.

 

Power steering and power disc brakes are included, and there's a tough TH400 3-speed automatic transmission behind the engine handling gear swaps.

 

 The floors are nicely finished with satin black paint, not undercoating, so there's nothing to hide, and both the gas tank and exhaust system are brand new. It rolls on correct Pontiac Rally II wheels and fat fire Hawk Indy 500 radials!

Details

The restoration was completed on a rust free car and has always been kept in a  garage.  The paint is nice with a few flaws and imperfections that don’t show up in the pictures.  It does shines like a mirror.  The chrome and stainless are beautiful!  

The Pontiac 455 “date coded” engine (NOM) is fresh and runs very strong.  The engine bay is highly detailed and its appearance is factory correct.  It is fitted with factory exhaust manifolds.  All new plug wires, new battery, hoses and belts have been added.   It rides on correct Pontiac Rally II rims in excellent condition with new BF Goodrich T/A radials. 

The matching Red interior is new…..vinyl, carpets, door panels, sport steering wheel, etc. There are no cracks in the dash or steering wheel.  The car starts drives and handles amazing and “tracks straight as an arrow.  It is mechanically very sound and I can see no evidence of it ever being wrecked.

The correct pattern black convertible top is “brand new” and installed with the “glass rear window”. 

Underneath is very nice and clean including new front disc brakes & lines, exhaust system and the new 323 posi differential.  The frame is excellent.  All the glass is very nice, all the gauges, lights, wipers, turn signals, horn all work as designed.  The panel fit on the fenders and doors is excellent.  The trunk is detailed.  The rims are in great condition and the tires are like new. 

 

The 1970 GTO Judge Convertibles are the most sought after muscle car and in this color combination and the quality of the restoration, represents an excellent value for the asking price.  I encourage you to come see it and test drive this car or just call me for a phone walk around.

Pontiac Aztek rises from the ashes of infamy in Firebird Trans Am guise

Thu, Apr 9 2020

What if the Pontiac Aztek, one of the most widely ridiculed vehicles ever built, was reimagined with a little flair from one of the former brand’s more legendary cars? Well, it turns out that someone not only came up with that idea, but followed up on it. And so, we present to you the Pontiac Aztek Firebird Trans Am, uh, trim package? ItÂ’s not real, of course, but it comes from Abimelec Arellano, an Hermosillo, Mexico-based car designer with too much time on his hands who goes by the name Abimelec Design. Arellano redesigned the midsize SUVÂ’s wimpy front fascia to surprising success by simply adding widened fender flares and perhaps modernizing the headlights. He also went all-in embracing the AztekÂ’s abrupt, flattened rear end by removing the rear bumper lip, adding a slightly more aggressive rear spoiler to boot. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Elsewhere, the dominating and cheap-looking gray plastic under-cladding is gone in favor of body-color panels. Arellano also added some probably larger Pontiac Snowflake wheels with gold accents that really make them pop and play well against the signature Firebird decal dominating the hood. Commenters generally fall into one of two buckets. As one put it, “I never thought the Aztek could look this good.” Others implored Arellano to do a version with a T-top. Or as one Autoblog editor put it, “So it turns out the reason the Aztek was a laughingstock failure is that it didnÂ’t come in a Smokey and the Bandit Edition. Somewhere, a dude who got shouted down in a product-planning meeting years ago is vindicated.” Sold between 2001 and 2005, the Aztek arguably reached the pinnacle of its notoriety as the metaphor for the drab, underachieving life of Walter White in AMCÂ’s meth drama, “Breaking Bad.” It came equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 that made 185 horsepower and sent it through a four-speed automatic to the front wheels, with an all-wheel drive version also available. The Aztek may have the last laugh, especially if it gets a screaming chicken. “The fact it was a controversial design and didnÂ’t sell well will make it an object of curiosity from a historical standpoint many years from now,” McKeel Hagerty, president and CEO of classic-car insurer Hagerty Insurance, told Autoblog back in 2016.

Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT

Fri, Jun 26 2020

The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
