1969 Pontiac Gto Judge on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
The GTO was a brainchild of Pontiac engineer Russell Gee, an
engine specialist, Bill Collins, a chassis specialist and Pontiac Chief
engineer John De Lorean. Early in 1963 GM issued a mandate banning GM divisions
from ANY involvement in racing. This drastically effected Pontiac at the time
as they were heavily dedicated to racing and their promotion of racing was
tremendous. Because of this, Pontiac’s young visionary management turned its
attention to street performance. Gee, Collins and De Lorean decided to make the Tempest a “Super
Tempest” by making it an option to have one of the large 389 engines installed
into the smaller Tempest body. They had found a “loophole” in GM policy by
doing this. Pontiac Generals Manager Pete Estes approved the new model and as
they say… “The Rest is History”! The standard engine for these cars was the 400 cubic inches
motor with 350 HP. An optional engine was the 366 HP RAM AIR III motor. The
name Judge came from a comedy routine done in the ‘60’s by the comedy team Rowan
and Martin called “Here Comes De Judge”. Now let me tell you about this GTO
Judge. These cars were somewhat limited in the number they produced
and were quite a desirable car at the time and have definitely increased in
collectability over the years. Some of the Judges in perfect condition have
reached incredible values recently. This Judge was restored a number of years
ago and included in that restoration was an engine rebuild. This car has had
only 4 owners since 1969. It is not perfect by any means, but, is certainly very
nice as you can see. You can also see by the documentation, it has the PHS documentation
with the car. At the time of restoration, besides the engine rebuild, it also
had new suspension, brakes, U-Joints and exhaust, etc. Is also has its original
rally wheels with BF Goodrich tires. The interior is in very nice condition and
I believe it to be original. It has a hidden radio with a 10 CD changer in the
trunk. It is an automatic with full console. The paint on the car is nice and
slick with some imperfections due to the age of the paint and normal wear from
driving. According to the records I have, the engine is the original engine and
the drive train and it does have the YZ stamping. “All numbers matching”. The
Serial Number of the car is 242379A126505. The car has always lived in the South and has only had 4
owners since 1969. It has had only one known repaint. The options on this car
are as follows: power steering and brakes; A/C 9 (does not work); clock and
original radio (does not work); hidden AM/FM radio with CD changer in the
trunk; Judge Package; Tinted Glass; Automatic transmission with 3:23 gears in
the rear-end and full gauges. The engine compartment looks very nice, as you
can see for yourself and the trunk is also nicely detailed. As you know, 1969 was the first year for the Judge and there
were a total of only 6,725 cars made. Here is where it gets REALLY RARE! There
were only 1,534 RAM AIR III cars built with automatic transmissions. WOW!!!
Further breakdown on the records I have indicate there were only 787 built with
A/C! I am selling the Jude for a gentleman that is moving out of state.
I am pricing this GTO Judge where someone should take immediate advantage of
the situation and buy it right away! It I being sold for much less than what
you can see available on line. The last two pictures show two different sources for the
statement of the original motor. One is the original EBay ad from 2006 and the
other is an independent appraiser. |

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.
This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500
Thu, Apr 23 2020UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
