1969 Pontiac GTO Judge for sale. Real Judge, non numbers- matching engine and trans. It was originally built in Fremont CA in July 1969 and sold by Porter Pontiac in Denver, CO. I bought it in Arizona in 2002 where it had been since at least the mid 1970's. Since I bought the car it has spent most of its life inside, under a cover, and has not been exposed to a drop of precipitation. I don't even use water to wash and detail the car. This car turns heads everywhere it goes.

The body is arrow straight. Frame, suspension, firewall, and body were all sandblasted and painstakingly painted about 5 years ago. I also had the chrome redone, found NOS door edge guards, and replaced the rear window and rear passenger glass with NOS. There are two small hairline cracks in the Endura and one place where the decal got scraped up front. I can't get them to show up in the pictures. It also got some work done to the quarters at some point in its history as you can see the welds from inside the trunk. The suspension was upgraded with polyurethane bushings, and I kept the vintage Cragar S/S 15" wheels although I do have a set of Rally 2's with at least 80% tread on the tires. The interior was originally parchment but is now black. There is a small crack in the dash (pictured). The car was originally a YZ automatic but at some point someone decided a WT block with #48 heads and an M-21 would be more fun along with hideaways and a hood tach. To that I added 1.6 roller rockers, Teflon valve seals, better pushrods, a custom (Pontiac blue) Qjet by Cliff Ruggles, a more aggressive cam, a copper head gasket, high volume oil pump, a high flow fuel pump, HEI, 3" ceramic Hooker super comp headers, a 3" X-pipe exhaust from Pypes, and some mild porting work and gasket matching. The M-21 was also rebuilt. I have driven it less than 10 times since all the body and mechanical work. It retained its stock XH code 3.55 Safe-T-track rear. It runs very strong. The hideaway headlights open and close with no sagging. The trunk stays up on its own.

The interior is in good condition but there are some things I have not gotten to. The Rallye clock doesn't work and the gauges could use attention as it appears there is stray voltage. The radio doesn't work. The odometer indicates 82,XXX but actual mileage is unknown as it sticks. I also have many extra chrome trim pieces, R-44S and R-45 NOS plugs, an extra steering wheel, extra marker lamps, some extra exhaust hardware, wheel bearings, etc. You will also get the custom-cut California Car Covers cover under which it has spent most of the last 10 years (indoor cover). Bottom line, this is a very nice car, that could be made much nicer and much more valuable with a little more work. Nonetheless this is a real GTO Judge, not a tribute or clone, and as such represents a value proposition. Given its original white on white color combination it's also relatively rare as Judges go. Get in to a real, rare Judge for a price that you don't need to commit a felony to afford!

Please ask any and all questions you might have via ebay/email or call me at (571) 329-3439. The car will be available to be seen this weekend in Owings, MD (20736).

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:

A case for Pontiac's return

Wed, Apr 5 2017

Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
