1970 Pontiac GTO (The Judge) in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1970 Judge Ram Air III Convertible is one of 168 original Judge convertibles made in 1970. It still has its born-with matching-numbers 400ci 8-cylinder engine, 4-speed manual transmission and rear end. The car was restored by a GTO restoration shop in the late 2000s, starting with a survivor car and using only original and NOS parts. It was purchased by its current owner in 2012, and underwent a complete cosmetic restoration with new black paint, complete Legendary black interior and a new black convertible top. The entire drivetrain was meticulously gone through to ensure the car was able to run on the Copperstate 1000 Rally and be shown at various shows around the country. The car was awarded a top honor of the Jim Mattison Award for best Pontiac at the 2013 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago. This GTO was built and maintained with an open checkbook, and has been part of a private collection for the last six years. This Judge was optioned with Safe-T-Trak, a tape stereo, heavy-duty radiator, remote mirror, console, power disc brakes and rear floor mats. The glass is date-code correct. This GTO was originally Sierra Yellow with a black interior and a white top.
