Vehicle Description
A great complete build of the car you always wanted to have. That's
how you should view this 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible upgraded to
The Judge tribute. With its performance-built 400 V8, sleek style,
drop-top charm, and iconic color combo, it's an awesome real GTO
with a ton of added appeal.
If you like Chevys, you call this paint Hugger Orange; but if
you're a Pontiac person, you know this is Carousel Red. It is one
of the most iconic colors from the GM pallet, and it is exactly how
you want a tribute to The Judge to look. And while this one is
already a factory Carousel Red car, there has been an investment
later in life to give it a respray. That way this sunshine-friendly
convertible has a nice gloss when the sunlight hits it. The bright
chrome trim and clean lines combine with this quality finish for a
nice-looking overall presentation. And because this is a real-deal
GTO you have exclusive pieces, like the stylish Endura front end
that was not shared with any other mid-size Pontiacs in 1969. This
one even has the ultra-desirable hidden headlight package (it will
need servicing to ideally function.) The Ram Air VI dual hood scoop
is another unmistakable icon of this muscle car, and it really is
feeding fresh air to the big V8. Plus, the black accents on those
go great with The Judge's stripes. Polished Cragar SS wheels,
big/bight dual exhaust tips, and The Judge's full-width rear
spoiler all make this a seriously mean and sharp muscle car.
The white convertible top looks distinctive against the fiery red
paint, and it's a quality piece with a glass back window. With the
flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal a parchment interior. So
you get a distinctive white against the Carousel Red no matter if
the top is up or down. The bucket seats were restored with the
correct intricate pattern. The appeal continues with the fresh look
on the coordinating rear seats and door panels. But thanks to black
carpeting, you don't have to worry about dusting off your shoes
before hopping in and going for a drive... after all, that's the
whole point of a cool muscle car like this. There are premium
factory features that make the journey better, like the center
console and factory air conditioning (it has been upgraded to R134a
but it will need servicing.) There's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo to give you the best in driving music. This has all the best
driver-oriented muscle car features, like the Hurst dual gate
shifter, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and beyond that is the
sporty triple pod gauge package. Looking for the tach? It's outside
on the iconic hood-mounted unit.
It wouldn't be a '69 GTO without the big 400 cubic-inch V8 under
the hood. You get a 1969-correct block, and it looks great filling
out the tidy engine bay with its shiny valve covers and correct
turquoise block. But beyond just the looks, this one is a strong
performer with upgrades like Edelbrock aluminum heads, a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, Doug's long tube headers, and a terrific
dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. We also have build receipts
detailing the engine being rebuilt in 2020! And don't forget, you
can control the Ram Air system from behind the wheel for when you
want to force-feed fresh air into this enhanced V8. In fact, this
is a thoughtful total setup with good supporting components, like
steel braided lines, AN fittings, MSD plug wires, and an MSD
ignition. The TH400 is such a stout unit that the dual gate shifter
is there for added control. Plus, there are all-around fine driving
features, like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide
BF Goodrich T/As.
A real-deal GTO convertible is already a rare treat and this one
upgrades the power and adds plenty of style with its Judge
appearance. It all makes for an awesome muscle car total package
that you don't want to let slip away. Call today!!!
