I purchased this original Judge in 1995 and have driven it very little (approx 450 miles) since its ground up restoration in 2000.  It is one of the earliest original Judges with a build date of third week of Jan 1969 and since it was an early production cars, it did not come with a glove box badge.  Produced as only one of 882 RA III-4 Speed Judges built in Baltimore, MD. and sold out of Kenneth Hammersley Pontiac in Lynchburg, VA.  Shipped to the dealer  2/12/69,  it has been in Virginia since sold.  At sometime someone added the deluxe wood steering wheel and upgraded the radio to AM/FM.  It was built with deluxe belts (originals still in the car), console, power steering, remote mirror, hood tach, rally gauges and front disc brakes.  It was a four speed RA III but when I bought it it came with a 455 c.i. motor.  A proper 400 c.i.c. motor (YH) was bored .030 and fitted with RA III heads, RA III exhaust manifold, RA III cam and a Elde alum. intake manifold with correct carb and a high output starter.  All done by  well known Pontiac drag racer and engine builder Big Chief Racing, Inc..  Estimated HP on the now 406c.i. motor is around 480-490 HP.

All new suspension, shocks, etc. were replaced and a correct 10 bolt Pontiac rear (3.55) was installed.  The car has BF Goodrich Radial TA tires 235-60R14 on standard Rally wheels on the front and 245/60R14 on 7" wide wheels on the rear.  A spare BF Goodrich 235-60R14 on a standard Rally wheel is provided for a spare.  The new dual exhaust system has V-Force mufflers.
There are three small 1" +/- rust spots on the original floor pan (forward) (patched from above) other than that the car has a solid pan and a trunk floor with no rust.
The body and interior restoration were done in 2000.
The odometer shows 74,939 miles and that could very well be the original mileage.
The car runs and drives like a new car  and the paint is perfect even after 13 years of always being garaged kept.  I have PHS documentation as well as all receipts from work done while I have owned the car.  This car would please anyone in appearance and performance.  Buyer to arrange for transportation and a $1,000.00 deposit required within 48 hours of bid closing.  Balance by wire transfer or cashiers check from a "national" bank within 10 days. NO RESERVE.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

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.
