Vehicle Description
1969 GTO JUDGE . ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS ENGINE, 400 c.i. RamAir
III. PONTIAC HISTORICAL SOCIETY verified with THE JUDGE OPTION.
Here is what we can tell you about this car. The current owner
purchased the car in 1999 from a guy in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He
was a sort of car broker and he had several GTOs and was raising
money to start a business. The car was titled out of California
when the current owner bought it. The reasons that he bought the
car were: verified Judge option, block number matched the VIN, and
it was super clean underneath. This car was obviously somewhere
warm for most of its life. In the pictures of the bottom of the car
he did not clean the underside of the car as he didn't want to
appear that he had painted the bottom. The lighter color you see on
the underneath pictures are just dirt. After he bought the car he
replaced any rusted metal brake and fuel lines and all of the
rubber brake and fuel lines. He blasted the Rally II wheels and
powder coated the silver base on them. He added the charcoal gray
and several coats of clear to them. They still look great almost 20
years later. He installed an original GTO 'wood wheel' even though
it is not original to this car it looks great. The wood wheels
fetch over $400. He believes that he has the original black
steering wheel that he will include with the car. The car runs
strong although it doesn't get run often enough. He rebuilt the
motor in 2006. If he recalls correctly, it is bored 30 over. He
added a mechanical oil pressure gauge just because it is so
important. He bought a new Optima battery in August 2018 for it. He
had the engine out again in 2020 to fix a broken gasket causing an
oil leak. Body wise the bottom side is clean. He had to replace the
panel directly between the rear window and the deck lid. There are
a few bubbles under the paint on the deck lid that haven't worsened
since he has owned the car. There are some scrapes and scratches in
the paint, that's why he posted
