1969 Pontiac GTO (The Judge) in Scottsdale, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge is an unrestored original survivor car that retains its matching-numbers drivetrain, including the 400ci V8 engine equipped with a Ram Air III induction system and original Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. Factory-rated output was 366hp and 445 ft/lbs of torque. The engine is paired with its matching-numbers Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and a Safe-T-Track limited-slip rear differential. For the Judge's introduction in 1969, General Motors produced an initial run of 1,000 cars, known internally as "Pattern Cars," distributed to selected dealers nationwide for promotional and advertising use. These "Pattern Cars" can be identified by a unique dealer order number sequence on the factory invoice. For this example, the special-order number is 00053, as shown on the PHS invoice document. One identifying feature of early "Pattern Cars" is the absence of the Judge logo on the glove box door. This Judge remains in unrestored survivor condition with one professional older repaint in factory-correct Carousel Red (paint code 72) and retains its original black vinyl interior. It was owned by the original owner until August 2025. The interior is entirely original and in excellent condition, including the factory tachometer, padded dash, package shelf, deluxe seat belts, vinyl upholstery, original glass and carpet. Two-thirds of the factory exhaust system remains intact, with replacement mufflers and correct new exhaust tips installed. The car retains its unrestored 14-inch Rally II wheels fitted with new Goodyear Custom Wide Tread G70-14 tires, as equipped when new. The original spare tire, wheel and jack remain with the car, and period photos confirm the showroom display included wheel trim rings installed by Utter Cadillac at delivery. Regular maintenance has been performed, including rebuilt cylinder heads and resealing while the engine was out for cosmetic detailing. Additional recent work includes new shocks, sway bar bushings, belts, hoses, thermostat, clutch, throw-out bearing, pan gasket, and rebuilt front and rear power brakes. The car also has power steering. This Judge was built at the Fremont, CA, assembly plant and initially delivered to Utter Cadillac in Spokane, WA. It is supported by Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) paperwork, as well as the original owner's manual, Protect-O-Plate, warranty booklet and key blanks. This early "Pattern Car" represents one of the first 1,000 GTO Judges built and is believed to be among the very few unrestored examples remaining. 78,425 miles (title reads exempt).
