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

Need to see more pictures? Send me a question with your email address, I will send you a link with many more to look at.

Thanks!

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful

Thu, Mar 24 2016

What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
