This extensively documented 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge enjoys a high profile in the Pontiac community as one of the finest in the country. Purchased from the original owners with just 38,000 miles on the odometer, this Palladium Silver Judge received a full frame-off restoration by Best of Show in Chicago, IL, while Westech in Silver Lake, WI. handled the job of rebuilding the car’s original Ram Air III engine and Muncie M20 4-speed transmission both of which retain all the major original components. A new carpet was installed in the otherwise original Blue interior, which features bucket seats, console, Rallye gauges and tachometer. Two documented “Day Two” items kept during the restoration were the dealer-installed hood locks and yellow Zeibart caps covering the rustproofing application access openings.
This exceptional GTO won the Outstanding in Class Award at the 2002 World of Wheels and has taken numerous popular vote awards at the annual “Indian Uprising “ held by the Cruisin’ Tigers GTO Club. It was the featured car in the debut episode of V8TV and appears prominently in the book GTO: PONTIAC'S GREAT ONE by Darwin Holmstrom with photography by David Newhardt. It is accompanied by a bounty of original documentation that includes a handwritten history, complete with photographs and mileage logs, by the original owners, full PHS documentation including a facsimile window sticker, and a full record of the restoration.
This great Judge has it all: documented low miles, a stunning frame-off restoration, impressive provenance and full history, all making it a prime candidate for showing at the prestigious GTO Nationals.
