1970 GTO Judge Convertible
 

1970 Judge Convertible. Verdoro Green with sandlewood interior and Sandlewood top. Complete frame off concourse restoration on an untouched 58,000 mile original Judge. The restoration was done by renowned Pontiac Specialist Lee Barns. This was a completely rust free original car when Lee started the restoration. Lee said in his 30 years of restoring cars this was the nicest car he had ever worked on. The car won concours Gold at the GTOAA and the Pontiac Oakland Club International. One of only 168 Judge convertibles produced in 1970. Full PHS documentation. Ram Air III, automatic. Very unusual color combination because Verdoro Green was more of a 69 color. Most of the 70's were pepper green. The Sandlewood top is also very unique, most of them had a black top. This car is loaded with options, including cruise control and power bucket seat, AC, AM/FM Stero and 8 track tape, power windows,power door locks, power trunk release. All total 31 options documented on The PHS. Car was slated to be in High Performance Pontiac magazine. We did the photo shoot and everything, but the magazine went out before it got published.
This is the best of the best with no expense spared. You will be hard pressed to find a car of this quality.

Simply beautiful! GLWS. Would V Green have been special order in 70? Huge fan of V. Green!

Thanks. Verdoro green wasn't a special order color. You could get it, just not many 70's in that color. I too am a big fan of Verdoro green and it really looks good with the Sandalwood.

damn nice... Love to see the PHS too. There are two on the registry. Yours and a 4 speed same color combo

I was looking for a friend of mine years ago and he bought the 4spd car. The restoration was in Hemmings Muscle Machines 3 or so years ago.

Beautiful car GLWS...

Where's that drool button? Beautiful.

Couple of pictures from the photo shoot

Here it is Mark!! :drool: :drool:

Love the car.......... love the color :)

Judging at GTOAA

It appears to have the EARLY style spoiler with the WIDER spaced Mounts.
I painted a 70 Judge conv with 50k miles 16 years ago and it was an early car with the wide mounted spoiler as well.

You are correct. Good catch. Not many people even know about the wide spoiler.
Lot of unique things about this car.

WE had an extremely long thread on the subject over on performance years back around 10-12 years ago. There were only a few people who had seen them, however even Steve Ames had never seen one. The car I painted I ended up rebuilding the spoiler using foam and fiberglass... I should have just moved the stands on a new one.

As an aside... The Grenada Gold car I painted is RAIII 4 spd with 4.33's belongs to a friend his dad bought it in 1977 for $1350, in high school we used to push it out of the garage and go and street race it in the middle of the night... thank god it had manual steering and brakes we would fly into the driveway cut the key and coast into the garage.

Hey Ruc
Beautiful car. Is it still available? I would like to come take a look if it's still available.

ruc I am in Greenville SC see you are in Spartanburg, are you the gentleman who has all the GTO's over at Chandelle airstrip?

Is this car still available?
I am interested

Yes the car is still available. I had the Judge and a six pack Challenger sold on a package deal to a collector out of NC but I guess he was all talk. He bugged me for about 2 weeks until I agreed to the deal, now all of a sudden he's always got an excuse.

Very nice car

Thanks Morty. It is a nice car and I had made that guy a heck of a deal on it.
This would make a great addition to any Pontiac lovers collection, well for that matter any collection. Hard to find an original car that has not been made up with a lot of repop parts.
Thanks for the compliment.
