In the golden age of American muscle the Pontiac GTO was king. And
today, when you're looking to grab a piece of Detroit's finest iron
without closing out your retirement, an investment grade GTO is one
of the smartest purchases on the market. There's no reason a blue
chip classic should cost more than the mortgage on your house. And
there's ABSOLUTELY no reason spending your hard earned money should
result in a 'rope and red carpet' trailer queen. After all, being a
part of GM's rambunctious Pontiac family was never about striking
pretty parking lot poses. This fully-sorted Judge, with its correct
Ram Air III V8, correct Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed and stunning
Liberty Blue on Blue color combination, is the kind of car you can
enjoy WHILE it appreciates. If you're the kind of gearhead who
likes to put their hardware on the field and the street, you're
looking at your next classic!

BODYWORK/TRIM
According to this goat's Pontiac Historic Services documents, it
was delivered to Frank Shaver Pontiac in Hammond, Indiana. A high
quality, professional restoration transformed the car into a
straight, road-ready classic that looks great from any angle. At
the front of this Liberty Blue coupe, a highly renowned Endura
bumper hangs stainless-trimmed grilles and a pristine "G T O"
emblem between a stainless-trimmed valence and clear parking lamps.
A Ram Air bonnet props dual scoops beside an optional hood-mounted
tachometer. At the sides of that bonnet, expressive 'coke bottle'
fenders are highlighted by "G T O" emblems and bright 'The Judge'
decals and vinyl striping. And out back, a thick chrome bumper
centers simple tail lights below a small "G T O" badge, while
another 'The Judge' decal highlights the rear spoiler.
ENGINE
Pop this A-Body's hood and you'll find a date-correct, 400 cubic
inch Ram Air III V8. Turning 366 horsepower and 445 lb./ft. of
torque, this powerhouse provides the legendary Pontiac performance
we all know and love. At the top of the storied mill, a Satin Black
air cleaner funnels air into a big, 4-barrel carburetor. A
traditional points distributor shoots fire though fresh Packard TV
R Suppression cables. The hot Pontiac block displays slick
Turquoise pigment from its intake all the way to its oil pan. And
the car's fenders, firewall and hood are covered in a smooth
combination of Liberty Blue and Satin Black.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
When that engine cranks to life, it twists torque through a
Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed that sends power to a GM 10 bolt rear.
It's cradled in a chassis that displays all of the correct
components beneath satin black floor pans, including optional power
steering and disc brakes up front. And it all meets the rode via
redline G70-14 Firestone Wide Oval Super Sports that wrap Pontiac
Rally II wheels with correct PMD center caps.
INTERIOR
Inside you'll find a correct Blue interior that perfectly
complements the car's glossy exterior panels. Firm, vinyl buckets
and a rear bench stretch tight surfaces that appear clean and show
hardly any age. Up front, a restored dash pad houses a Rally
instrument cluster above controls for the radio and heating and
air. A 'Judge' dash emblem is mounted on the glove box. Between the
seats, a center console props the shifter for the automatic
transmission. And the driver navigates the road through a
traditional steering wheel.
