Born on the 2nd Week of April, 1969  and was Delivered to Dave Pyles Motors Inc. in Marlow Heights, MD.  PHS Documentation shows it came with the following options;

We added the wood steering wheel and chrome exhaust tips. The original steering wheel comes with car.

Previous Owners included many receipts and personal affects including P.O.C.I. Membership. Owners Manual. Service Manual. Hot Rod Magazine - Pontiac Advertisement. Parking Sign.

From the Documents and Further online research I was able to compile the history back to 1979. When it was purchased by a noted Pontiac enthusiast in Virgina, who sadly died earlier this year. His obituary, viewable online, mentions little about his occupation, but dedicates a full paragraph to his love for, and restoration of, Pontiacs. He left receipts and his POCI club membership. He is survived by a son, who is also searchable online, and his current Pontiacs are featured along with dedications to his father's passions. In 1993 he sold it to Mike Injaian, of North Wales PA. Mike included numerous receipts, personal affects and was reachable by email. He conveyed his love for the vehicle which he drove twice from his home to the Woodward Dream Cruises of 02' and 03'. Mike is also featured online, for his outrageous GTO projects. This unbroken chain of enthusiast ownership continues to 2005, when John O'Quinn, the legendary Texas litigator and car collector, took possession of the vehicle. The owner of over 800 world class vehicles he was building a museum to house his collection. Between 07-08' the Judge received a full restoration and was driven until O'Quinn's sudden death in 09'. This Judge, along with his entire collection, was caught up in litigation, eventually sold earlier this year.

After sitting in storage while Mr. O'Quinn's estate was liquidated, I went about addressing any and all things that needed attention. Over the past 4 months, while fighting constant urges to just keep driving it (I still ended up putting a little over a thousand miles in 4 months) additional minor work revealed itself, and was always completed by accomplished mechanics (recommended by the president of our local GTO club). Receipts for all work comes in a book with the previous owner's materials, and our work performed included; 4 New Tires, Rebuilt Carb, New Master Brake Cylinder, Bled Brakes, Front and Rear Shocks. Right Upper Control Arm, New Radiator, Cap and Hoses, Left Rear Tail Light, Thermostat and Gasket, Oil Sending Unit, Spark Plugs, Trans Mount, Oil Service, Trans Serivce, and Every Fluid possible. Additional repairs included new Weather Stripping, Kick Panels, Drip Rails, and Carpeting.

It now goes even better than it looks. It really is a phenomenal drive. You can take it as far and as fast as you want.  Included in the photographs are the Engine and Trans vin, which match directly to the last six digits of the vehicle VIN - and the other original, matching date coded parts. A pic of the engine prod # is also shown, and reads 0663663 WS. The picture of the transmission has many numbers, but if you look side-ways, and on the left of the photo, you'll see the vin which reads P294022.  In addition to the PHS, Dealer Order Form, and various other documents proving its provenance, the sheer amount of originality and rich ownership history only bolster what is already a very on-point, happy car.    

The only major deviation, which actually leaves meat on the bone for a new owner, is that it did not come from the factory in Carousel Red. This was originally a color code 67 (Burgundy) car. I have never seen a Burgundy 69' Judge, except the original Hot Wheels car, that came in that color. The odd fact is, it's spent most of its life, with Carousel Red paint. The oldest known owner I spoke to, Mike from PA, stated that when he purchased the car, it was already this color. And he left it be. John O'Quinn likely wanted the iconic color, and kept it as such. With no body work required, and a still coated and clean, completely rust free under-carriage, and engine compartment, if the color were returned to Burgundy, along with all the numbers matching components, you'll have a rare, #'s matching Judge. Or, if the maximum possible resale isn't why you're interested, and you just want something to love, there's more than enough of that.

I am located in Calabasas, CA and invite serious buyers to inspect and test drive for themselves. I shot a little video so you can hear and see for yourself, if I can't post it here, ask me for it, and I'll happily email. I am open to partial or full trades (keep it muscle and American or don't offer).

Domestic or International Buyers welcome. Winning bidder must arrange for shipping and all funds must be received prior to releasing vehicle and title.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
