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: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Sun, Nov 28 2021John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, theĀ other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" think training wheels for spy planes Ā is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
