-Patriot Blue with Blue/Red and Yellow stripes, Black vinyl

　　interior with Black carpeting, 428 cubic-inch (7.0 liter) "Royal

　　Bobcat" engine, 4-speed transmission, Excellent restored condition,

　　Car and Driver road-tested the 428 CI powered car with the

　　Turbo-Hydramatic transmission and 3.55 gears. It could do 0-60 MPH

　　in 5.2 seconds, 0-100 in 12.9 seconds, and the 1/4 mile in 13.8

　　seconds at 104 mph.

　　When working for Pontiac, John DeLorean, Bill Collins, and Russ Gee

　　were responsible for the GTO's creation. It involved transforming

　　the upcoming second-generation Pontiac Tempest into a sporty car,

　　with a larger 389 cu in (6.4 L) Pontiac V8 engine from the

　　full-sized Pontiac Grand Prix hardtop coupe in place of the

　　standard 326 cu in (5.3 L) V8. By promoting the big-engine option

　　as a special high-performance model, they could appeal to the youth

　　market which had also been recognized by Ford Motor Company's Lee

　　Iacocca.

　　General Motors redesigned its A-body line for 1968, with more

　　curvaceous, semi-fastback styling, Pontiac abandoned the familiar

　　vertically stacked headlights in favor of a horizontal layout, but

　　made hidden headlights available at extra cost. The concealed

　　headlights were a popular option. The signature hood scoop was

　　replaced by dual scoops on either side of a prominent hood bulge

　　extending rearward, a unique feature was the body-color Endura

　　front bumper. The Pontiac GTO was now in the muscle car records

　　books and muscle car history.

　　A new model called "The Judge" was introduced. The name came from a

　　comedy routine, "Here Come de Judge", used repeatedly on the Rowan

　　& Martin's Laugh-In TV show. Advertisements used slogans like "All

　　rise for the Judge" and "The Judge can be bought". As originally

　　conceived, the Judge was to be a low-cost GTO, stripped of features

　　to make it competitive with the Plymouth Road Runner. The package

　　was more expensive than a standard GTO, and included the Ram Air

　　400 engine, Rally II wheels without trim rings, Hurst shifter (with

　　a unique T-shaped handle), wider tires, various decals, and a rear

　　spoiler.

　　This GTO Judge clone was found and purchased by Dr. M. Jove,

　　Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Jove, a is well-known collector with an

　　affinity for collectible automobiles. His in-house restoration team

　　has left no stone unturned during their restorations. Therefore, on

　　offer is a Pontiac GTO Judge clone that is exceptional in every

　　respect.

　　Offered for a fraction of an original-restored GTO Judge, this GTO

　　Judge is sure to please both on the road and show fields.
