For Sale: 1969 Pontiac GTO in Ft Worth, Texas

When it comes to collectible cars, the criteria by which we judge a vehicle can vary from person to person. However, almost all enthusiasts can agree that authenticity counts for a great deal. That's why, when a car like this numbers-matching 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge comes along with its official Pontiac Historic Services documentation, the verdict is a unanimous mix of awe and excitement. Fully repainted in its original Carousel Red, the muscular lines of this Judge present a compelling case for why this GTO may just be the G.O.A.T. of Goats.

Inside, we find a stock and correctly outfitted interior, featuring an inviting Parchment and black motif, complemented by a touch of woodgrain trim along the dash. A three-pod Rally gauge cluster sits front and center of the power-assisted (and rare) wooden three-spoke steering wheel, featuring (from left to right) a multi-purpose fuel/oil/temperature readout, a big 140 mph speedometer, and a unique and equally large analog clock closest to the passenger side. If you're unfamiliar with the GTO, you might be asking yourself, "But where is the tach?" You need only look just above the dashboard and out the windshield to find an ingenious hood-mounted 8,000 rpm external tachometer, which not only looks unbelievably cool but makes it that much easier to keep your eyes on the fast-approaching road while still being able to hit that perfect 1-2 shift courtesy of a Hurst T-bar handle. The factory console and matching carpets and Vintage brand air conditioning add a touch of comfort. At the same time, the original AM radio remains on display, because, if we're honest, you'll never get tired of listening to that rumble emanating from the dual exhaust just beneath you anyway.

Under that dual nostril, we find a clean engine bay, home to a functional Ram Air system. Beneath that curiously clever air-cleaner power package, we find a numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch Ram Air III V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, this mighty motor made use of a 10.75:1 compression ratio to pump out an advertised 366 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. That prodigious power is routed through a numbers-matching Muncie four-speed manual transmission before being sent out to the original factory ten-bolt Safe-T-Trak rear end. Thanks to Positraction, those ponies are transferred to the pavement via a set of correct 15-inch Rally II wheels shod in staggered BFGoodrich tires measuring 245/60R-15. In contrast, a narrower 235/60R-15 set handles steering duties up front while simultaneously adding to this GTO's aggressive muscle car stance.

Riding on a heavy-duty suspension upgraded with higher-rate springs and stiffer shocks, this 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge was capable of cornering markedly better than the base model, while a set of power brakes featuring front discs reins in speed at a moment's notice. While deliberating on which Golden Age muscle car is the best will likely end in a deadlock, there is no debate that this PHS-certified, numbers-matching authentic Judge will go a long way to endow its next owner with life, liberty, and especially the pursuit of happiness. And in the court of public opinion, the only thing you'll be guilty of (provided you keep your eye on the speedometer) is inspiring fits of jealousy anywhere you go behind the wheel of this undeniably amazing and rare machine.
