This 1970 Pontiac GTO is powered by a documented Ram Air Judge
400ci Ram Air III engine factory-rated at 366hp with 445 ft/lbs of
torque and mated to TH400 3-speed automatic transmission with
3.55:1 posi-traction differential. The original Data Tag on the
cowl has been decoded, and the GTO received a comprehensive
frame-off restoration to factory specifications by the GTO gurus at
Classic Performance. The GTO features an upgraded Gear Vendors
overdrive transmission (original parts come with the car), N41
power steering variable ratio, PMD N98 Rally II wheels, G70
Goodyear Polyglas Wide Oval GT tires, T42 hood inlet Ram Air, A1
heavy-duty battery, U25 luggage compartment, U26 under-hood lamp,
U35 electric clock, U63 AM push-button radio (which was upgraded
with period-correct AM/FM unit), U76 windshield antenna, U80
auxiliary rear speaker WTI Judge option, W84 additional fuel for
delivery, Y92 lamps (including glove box, luggage and courtesy) and
Y96 handling package. This 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge Ram Air III is
GM-documented by George Zapora and is often referred to as the
"Psychedelic Judge." A one-of-one, this is the Judge that was not
meant to be produced. The GTO is finished in Mint Turquoise
exterior over a red bucket-seat interior with factory Judge decals
in blue, orange and pink. The color combo on a factory WT1 Judge
option was not permitted yet was somehow built by GM of Canada. The
"Psychedelic Judge" is one of 75 GTOs Judges finished in Mint
Turquoise in 1970, and Mint Turquoise GTOs were only to receive
black or Sandalwood interiors, which makes this a one-of-one error.
Multiple magazine articles have been written to document the car
and ACME even produced a limited run of 588 diecast model copies of
this GTO. The GTO has 3,100 miles since restoration. The notoriety
of this special car includes the June 2014 Northwest Regional Tiger
Run in Bend, OR; First Place Best Judge; July 2016 GTO Nationals in
Seattle, WA, won First Place Judge and February 2017 World of
Wheels class award. Additionally, the GTO was featured in a
four-page spread in Muscle Car Review 2017, Motor Trend Magazine in
September 2017 and December 2018 back page highlight in Muscle Car
Review. From the Frank Tiegs Collection. ** PREVIEW
