Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible. * 1 of 29 Automatic Judge Convertibles ever made
* One of -- if not the -- Earliest GTO Judge Convertibles Built
* One of Only 108 GTO Judge Convertibles Produced
* Stunning and Fresh Restoration and Color Combination*
Only Test Miles Since Completion of Restoration Work 400 cid Ram Air III V-8 engine, single Rochester four-barrel
carburetor, 366 HP, GM M40 Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with
unequal-length A-arms and coil springs, live rear axle with four-link suspension and coil springs, and four-wheel
hydraulic brakes; wheelbase: 112" Just in case the owners of competing muscle cars began thinking Pontiac's
groundbreaking GTO was getting soft in the middle by 1968, the folks at Pontiac reminded them on December 18th of
that year that the GTO's performance and image were indeed alive and well. That reminder came with the release of
"The Judge," an unrestrained performance GTO with an irreverent attitude and marketing to match, with famous
taglines including "All Rise for The Judge" and the infamous line, "The Judge can be bought." While the Code WT1
Judge Option package added $337 to the standard GTO sticker price, it packed plenty of value. For starters, the
standard Judge engine was Pontiac's 400 cubic-inch Ram Air III high-performance engine with 366 factory-rated
horsepower. Dual functional hood scoops fed fresh, cool air into the deep-breathing RA II engine, with the air
intakes opened and closed as necessary with a push-pull cable actuated by a button marked "Ram Air" underneath the
dash panel. A 60-inch wide wing graced the rear deck and the GTO's innovative body-color, flexible Endura front
bumper surrounded a sinister blacked-out twin-element grille with optional retractable headlight covers. The
outrageous Carousel Red finish was topped by flashy body side graphic accent stripes and accented by a set of
silver-painted Rally II wheels devoid of bright trim rings surrounded by fiberglass-belted tires. Higher-rate
springs and recalibrated shocks brought handling and road holding up to the same standards as the engine's
performance, which propelled the car to easy 14-second quarter-mile times in bone-stock form. Only 6,725 Judge
hardtops and 108 convertibles were built for 1969 and their reputation has remained intact -- and impressive --
ever since. The survival rate of these road rockets has been quite small; however, the outstanding performance and
massive charisma of The Judge -- not to forget the visual impact of its flashy graphics -- have made it a longtime
favorite of performance-car fanatics. This 1969 GTO Judge is even more desirable as one of, if not the, first
examples of the GTO Judge Convertible produced. According to a copy of the original dealer invoice provided by
Pontiac Historical Services, which is included with the sale of this vehicle, this GTO Judge was shipped on March
25, 1969, and invoiced on March 31, 1969, to Queen City Pontiac in Plainfield, New Jersey. In addition to the Judge
package, the car was built to run, having been equipped new with only the M40 high-performance Turbo-Hydramatic 400
automatic transmission, power steering, and a pushbutton radio. As equipped, the car carried a suggested retail
price of $4,188.72. The current owner acquired The Judge from the prior owner of 30 years and then commissioned its
total restoration by Acceleration Restoration, which was recently completed in 2014. Power is provided by a
correct, date-coded "YZ" engine block and the transmission and rear end are understood to be original to the car.
Exceptional detailing defines this stunning restoration, from the sleek "coke bottle" bodylines to the eye-popping
Carousel Red paint finish, black interior, and impeccably finished and detailed Ram Air III engine and surrounding
engine bay. Historically significant as the launch of an icon, exceedingly rare with limited test miles on a recent
impressive restoration, usher this Judge into the select chambers of muscle car royalty.

GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect
Tue, Apr 1 2014General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
