Background
Pontiac updated the GTO's styling for 1970, giving it a new Endura nose with exposed headlamps, bodyside creases, and a revised rear bumper. Few muscle cars made a bolder visual statement than the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. Graphics and wings were wilder for '70.  "The Judge" decals returned, multihued stripes appeared over the bodyside creases, and the 60-inch rear wing now stood high and proud on the tail.  "The Judge," observed Road Test magazine, "is not for people who are shy about being looked at."

But there was no shortage of substance here.  The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was all about unbridled muscle car performance.  The Ram Air III brought 10.5:1 compression and produced 366hp at 5,100 RPM.  The M20 had wide-ratios, while the M21 was a close-ratio. All of these manual transmissions were attached to 10.4-inch-diameter clutch discs in 400-inch engines.  All four-speed Judges got a Hurst T-handle shifter.  The 400-cid V-8 came with functional hood scoops (an underdash knob controlled air flow).

Although cornering was never The Judge's strongest trait, it became much more fun in 1970 due to some important suspension modifications. A .875-inch anti-roll bar was fitted in the rear for the first time, and the front bar was enlarged to 1.125 inches in diameter. These bars were coupled with stronger lower rear control arms for 400-cu.in. cars, and those with four-speed manuals gained extra frame reinforcement brackets.  Revised springs, and revised shock valving including the introduction of variable-ratio power steering also improved response.

Because The Judge was the top-level GTO, it was fitted with expanded vinyl Morrokide buckets with "comfort weave" inserts, standard headrests, a center console and a dashboard trimmed in woodgrain and engine-turned metal.

Only 3,797 copies of the Judge were sold in 1970.  But for extroverts, limited-production car collectors, speed freaks and fans of late Sixties pop culture, the wildest GTO of all is tops. Sporty young and young-at-heart drivers will feel right at home behind the wheel of The Judge.  More than 40 years ago, in an attempt to recapture some of the sales they lost to the saturated muscle car market, the Pontiac Motor Division gave the GTO a similar treatment, and The Judge was born and continues it’s iconic status in the muscle car era.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Remember when Pontiac made a Trans Am Kammback grocery getter?

Thu, Nov 8 2018

Despite muscle cars having strong reputations as some of the most impractical cars one can buy, they've occasionally had one of the most useful and practical features a car can sport: a hatchback. In the 1980s, General Motors' Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird had one, and it added respectable utility to the sports cars. But the people at GM thought they could make the F-Body cars even more useful. So, after a few clay-model experiments, Pontiac built three examples of an extended-roof 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback concept. Spotted by GM Authority, one of these Trans Am Kammbacks (although "shooting brake" seems like the more apt descriptor) is going on the block at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in early January 2019. Reportedly only three of these prototypes/experiments/test mules were built to driveable specs, and this example, VIN No. EX4796, has additional history that might make it the ultimate example. According to Mecum, the show car, which has made appearances at numerous auto shows, also spent some time at the race track — just not as a participant. It was used as a pace car for PPG and IMSA racing and temporarily had a light bar and "two-way communications equipment." Following its pace duty, and after GM stopped the project from going any further, it was put into Pontiac Engineering's private collection for 13 years. Famous Michigan car collector and Pontiac dealership owner John McMullen then bought the car. He eventually sent it to Pontiac specialist Scott Tiemann for a full restoration to the gorgeous condition it is in today. As seen in the photos, the Trans Am features white paint over a gray leather interior. It houses a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood and has a five-speed manual transmission. The wild concept is rare enough to be super cool, but we can't help but think of an infinitely more practical, more modern, more powerful, and arguably more interesting car we'd rather have. Manual Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in Black Diamond anybody? Or, if you don't care about the extra doors, perhaps the Callaway's Corvette AeroWagen is more applicable. Either way, we're in full support of any shooting brakes we can find. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
