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.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Phoenix LJ Hatchback

Sun, Jan 22 2023

The car-building world was rushing headlong into front-wheel-drive by the late 1970s, eager to reap the weight-saving and space-enhancing benefits of front-drive designs. General Motors designed an innovative FWD platform to replace the embarrassingly outdated Chevrolet Nova and its siblings, and that ended up being the Chevrolet Citation. The other US-market GM car divisions (except Cadillac) got a piece of the X-Body action, and the Pontiac version was called the Phoenix. Here's one of those first-year Phoenixes, not doing a very good job of rising from its snow-covered ashes in a Colorado self-service yard. Pontiac had used the Phoenix name on a luxed-up iteration of Pontiac's version of the Chevy Nova during the 1977-1979 model years, and so it made sense to apply that name to the Pontiac-ized Citation. Phoenix production continued through the 1984 model year (the Citation managed to hang on through 1985). Just to confuse everyone, the Nova name was revived in 1985, on a NUMMI-built Toyota Corolla. The LJ trim level was the nicest one for the 1980 Phoenix, and it included lots of trim upgrades and convenience features. However, even Phoenix LJ buyers had to pay extra for a three-speed automatic transmission instead of the base four-on-the-floor manual ($337, or about $1,291 in 2022 dollars). If you wanted air conditioning, that was another $564 and you had to get the $164 power steering and the $76 power brakes with it (total cost in 2022 dollars: $3,080). Affordable cars weren't so affordable back then, not once you started adding basic options. Both generations of the Phoenix had grilles influenced by those of the Pontiacs of earlier years. The base engine was the chugging 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, but a 2.8-liter V6 was optional. This car has the V6, rated at 115 horsepower rather than the Duke's miserable 90 horses. The price tag: 225 bucks, or 862 inflation-adjusted 2022 bucks. The Phoenix was available just as a two-door coupe and five-door hatchback. The MSRP on this car would have started at $6,127, or around $23,469 now. That would have been a pretty good deal even after paying for the options, with the Phoenix's excellent mix of good interior space and solid fuel economy… but the Citation and its kin (the Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark as well as the Phoenix) suffered from seemingly endless, highly publicized recalls and quality problems.
