1970 The Judge Covertable- Tribute on 2040-cars

This amazing 1970 GTO Judge Convertible-tribute Coming out of a private collection.

The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was one of the most potent muscle cars of the era, and surely one of the most outrageous in terms of styling. There were approximately 37 real 1970 GTO judge Convertibles with the powerful 455 built. With bright colors, stripes, and a rear wing, it gave the Judge a unique look that was backed by equally stunning performance. But with prices for real Judge convertibles running in $100,000.00’s the outstanding tributes are a great value.

The ultimate 1970 Judge Convertible color arguably is the Cardinal RED which was a Judge trademark that looks amazing on the GTO's aggressively styled ragtop bodywork. Everything is smooth and slick, with a lot of time invested in getting it all smooth and shiny, and thanks to modern paint technology, the color probably pops a lot more than it did in 1970s. Pontiac's revolutionary Endura bumper gives the front of the GTO a unique look with their traditional split grille, and when combined with chrome headlight openings and Ram Air vents on the hood, this car definitely looks aggressive. With the special Judge graphics, rear wing out back, and quad exhaust tips it gives this Judge power and authority!

A red bucket seat interior with the “HIS/HERS” shifter console works perfectly with the cardinal red presentation.. pegging the aggression meter while still keeping the luxury and comfort for which Pontiac had become justifiably famous.

New red seat covers, door panels, along with new  carpet and carpet custom GTO logo floor mats that match the red carpet gives her the “new car look”.

 The dash offers three deeply recessed instruments, but there's no tach because it is mounted out front on the hood ………the most desirable Judge option of all!  

 This stunning Judge Convertible has its factory installed “ice cold ” A/C!

She has the original AM/FM  push button radio in the engine-turned dash as well as a custom designed and installed multiple speaker and sub-woofer hidden in the trunk high powered surround system. The head unit and volume subwoofer control in hidden in the glove box and the power amp and sub-woofer are custom installed in the side trunk panels.

 She adorns a brand new factory black power convertible top/glass rear window and has the factory boot.

Performance is effortless thanks to Pontiac's muscular 1970 455 cubic inch V8, which specializes in torque production. From the Ram Air hood scoops to the Pontiac Turquoise paint on the block, this one has been factory detailed correctly, and the condition of all the under hood components displays that the work is not only high-quality, but recently done.

Power steering and power disc brakes are included, and there's a tough TH400 3-speed automatic transmission behind the engine handling gear swaps.

 The floors are nicely finished with satin black paint, not undercoating, so there's nothing to hide, and both the gas tank and exhaust system are brand new. It rolls on correct Pontiac Rally II wheels and fat fire Hawk Indy 500 radials!

Details

The restoration was completed on a rust free car and has always been kept in a  garage.  The paint is nice with a few flaws and imperfections that don’t show up in the pictures.  It does shines like a mirror.  The chrome and stainless are beautiful!  

The Pontiac 455 “date coded” engine (NOM) is fresh and runs very strong.  The engine bay is highly detailed and its appearance is factory correct.  It is fitted with factory exhaust manifolds.  All new plug wires, new battery, hoses and belts have been added.   It rides on correct Pontiac Rally II rims in excellent condition with new BF Goodrich T/A radials. 

The matching Red interior is new…..vinyl, carpets, door panels, sport steering wheel, etc. There are no cracks in the dash or steering wheel.  The car starts drives and handles amazing and “tracks straight as an arrow.  It is mechanically very sound and I can see no evidence of it ever being wrecked.

The correct pattern black convertible top is “brand new” and installed with the “glass rear window”. 

Underneath is very nice and clean including new front disc brakes & lines, exhaust system and the new 323 posi differential.  The frame is excellent.  All the glass is very nice, all the gauges, lights, wipers, turn signals, horn all work as designed.  The panel fit on the fenders and doors is excellent.  The trunk is detailed.  The rims are in great condition and the tires are like new. 

The 1970 GTO Judge Convertibles are the most sought after muscle car and in this color combination and the quality of the restoration, represents an excellent value for the asking price.  I encourage you to come see it and test drive this car or just call me for a phone walk around.
