Vehicle Description
This 1970 Ram Air GTO Judge is from the private collection of a
well-known Pontiac collector. Originally delivered to Gordon
Pontiac, in Joliet, IL, on December 29, 1969. Today it still has
the original Ram Air III and 4-speed transmission it was born with.
This Judge has received a no-excuse, full frame-off professional
restoration. The Ram Air III engine has been carefully restored to
like-new condition. With the engine out of the car, it was sent out
and completely rebuilt. The Ram Air III block (code WS) was honed
and new pistons, rings and bearings installed. The crank was
checked and lightly refinished. The cylinder heads were checked and
given a fresh valve job, along with new valves and valve springs.
Everything was reassembled and the entire engine assembly was given
a coat of the correct Pontiac silver-blue engine paint. The car has
been completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal. The frame
was removed and the entire drivetrain was rebuilt. The body of this
vehicle was gone over from front to back, and the body fit is
laser-straight and better than new. Once the body was prepared, it
was given a fresh coat of Orbit Orange (code TT), using the best
modern DuPont base coat/clear� coat paint. The frame was also
stripped and all chassis components were replaced and refinished in
the correct original factory finishes. No stone was left unturned,
and the interior was so nice that, with the exception of the carpet
that was replaced, the remaining original interior components were
cleaned and saved. All instruments and gauges were checked for
operation and repaired or replaced if necessary. All wire harnesses
were replaced with new. The restoration on this GTO is 100% factory
correct, right down to the correct T3 headlamps and original-style
Firestone white-lettered tires. Includes original dealer invoice,
build sheet and Protect-o-plate.
