This is an Ebay relist because of a winning bidder who states his bid was a hijack, and he never bid, which I feel is a lie.  I know the train of thought is that something is wrong with the car, but there is not, it is everything I state below. To reiterate, "0" transaction members bids will be cancelled without prior contact, and now if I feel a bidder is not truthful or "real", or have negative feedback/comments without resolve, I am going to have the discretion to cancel their bid. I like my auctions clean, fair, with a positive result. This is not a game, I will not kill this car with constant relisting, this is it. So again...

 Up for auction is this real 1970 GTO Judge hardtop. Full original matching numbers drivetrain, and loaded with nice options. Documented with PHS and original build sheet (just removed) from top of gas tank, and owners manual. Recently discovered and taken out of dry storage, sitting since 1984, this car is perfect to be restored, or drive as is. The original Ram Air WS engine, 4 speed transmission, and 3.23 safe-t-track rear differential are present. 

The factory option list on this car is impressive. Delivered to Eddie Ruch Pontiac, Inc. in Wheaton, IL, this car was ordered with: Granada Gold exterior, Sandalwood interior, Sandalwood cordova top, 4 speed transmission, console, power windows, air conditioning, power bucket seat, rally gauges with in-dash tach, am/fm radio, 8-track stereo tape player, formula steering wheel, remote mirror, power disc brakes, power steering, safe-t-track, front and rear floor mats, luggage lamp, G70x14 white letter tires, The Judge, soft ray glass, and ride and handling package. 

Factory air conditioning, power windows, 4 speed, and lots of power options, is pretty rare find on a '70 Judge!

Original VIN stamped engine, #12 cylinder heads, original intake, and ram air exhaust manifolds. Distributor is a '70 GTO 350 hp unit, the voltage regulator and horn relay are original. Quadrajet carburetor is a '70 GTO #7040264, alternator, and starter are not original. A/C compressor and brackets are missing. The engine appears to have been rebuilt/repainted. Original VIN stamped transmission, working back drive lock linkage, and XF coded rear differential.

Upper and lower ram air pans are present, upper is the steel original, lower is an early fiberglass repro, assuming early 1980's. The air cleaner lid is also a replacement.  The ram air cable bracket is still under the dash, though the cable and flapper assembly in the hood are missing. 

The interior is original, with factory shifter, console, and Judge glovebox door. Headliner and visors are nice with no tears or holes, all the original seat belts in place. The power driver seat, 8-track player, radio and horn button are missing. The driver seat cover has rips and wear, passenger seat has some wear, rear is fine.  The carpet had been changed to black, and '71 GTO sport rear view mirrors added, probably with the old yellow paint job, done prior to '84.  The dash pad is cracked on the top, and the radio area had been cut for an aftermarket stereo with 6x9 speakers in the rear. 3 original dated Rally II wheels still in place, and one '72 wheel are on the car. Belted TA tires are new from '84, but flat spotted.

The body, and frame, are overall very clean and solid. There is some rust in the rear 1/4 panels, and wheel openings. Normal dings and imperfections in some panels, not terrible. The worst rust is in the driver side floor, it is rusted through, but not in the toe kick area or under the seat. Trunk floor and jamb is very solid, clean and nice. The trunk lid is rusted on the lower edge/lip. The fenders look to have been repaired, and patched, assuming dented and repaired too. The rear bumper is in decent shape, the doors are solid, and usable, needing typical repairs. 

The car runs nice even after sitting for 30 years. Installed new tune up parts, brake work, fuel and coolant systems flush, it runs with no major ticks, knocks, or smoke. Tachometer, gauges, dash lights, turn signals, and power windows work, speedometer does not.

A rust free trunklid, and a mint complete sandalwood dash pad with an uncut dashboard will go with the purchase of the car. I also have many other nos parts needed if restoration is desired, but these parts are at an extra cost. 

Again, this car runs and drives, so if you desire an original, little rough around the edges real '70 Judge to fix and drive, here it is. If you want a very nice resto project that will result in one rare desirable car when done, this fits the bill.

Inspections, and questions are always welcome, and encouraged. Remember, bidders with "0" transactions, your bid will be cancelled unless you contact me prior to bidding. The car may sell locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early

Thanks!

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Junkyard Gem: 2002 Pontiac Aztek

Sat, Apr 17 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold the Aztek for the 2001 through 2005 model years, and — despite enjoying something of a cultural rebirth in recent years — it is generally considered to be one of the worst cars of all time. The idea of using a minivan platform as the basis for a rough-and-tough-looking crossover with plenty of outdoor-lifestyle amenities wasn't the problem, since many vehicle manufacturers have printed bales of money using that formula. What doomed the Aztek was its hideous appearance and sticker price too lofty for its underemployed-at-the-time Generation X target demographic. Still, the Aztek proved to be perfectly suited for the outdoor activities that Coloradans love: hiking, camping, fishing, skiing, hauling mud-caked golden retrievers around, etc., and so you'll still find lots of Azteks on the roads of the Centennial State. Here's an Aztek Yellow Aztek (yes, that's really the paint color's official title) residing just a few rows from a '76 Checker Taxicab in a Denver self-service yard. Sure, it does look like a vehicle built to the specifications of a six-year-old who decreed a mashup between a Datsun F-10 and a Fisher-Price Little People Travel Together Airplane, but so what? There's a built-in air compressor to blow up your inflatable rafts and volleyballs, a tent attachment that turns the rear of the van into a camper, 12-volt power plugs all over the vehicle (years before this became commonplace on ordinary minivans and SUVs), and running-gear commonality with a jillion Ventures, Silhouettes, Montanas and Trans Sports. Buick managed to de-uglify the Aztek (somewhat) and sold it as the Rendezvous through 2007, but the Aztek never could win over many people with this face. I see plenty of Azteks and Rendezvouses in Denver-area wrecking yards, and I've documented a handful over the years. This one came fully loaded from the factory, with the Corvette-style heads-up display in full effect. The center console was a removable cooler, which was a great idea Â… except for the fact that this cooler holds five standard 12-ounce cans. Michigan residents tell me that this must have been intentional on the part of the Detroit-based Aztek designers, because Michiganders are expected to chug one beer out of a sixer as they walk from the liquor store to the car in the parking lot Â… which makes me extra cautious whenever I'm driving in the Wolverine State.

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?
