24-Years-Family-Owned 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge Hardtop Coupe 4-Speed

Description

Introduced for 1969 as a high-impact performance package, Pontiac’s “The Judge” option transformed the already potent GTO into a bold, image-driven muscle car icon. Commonly finished in eye-catching Carousel Red with tri-color Judge graphics and a pedestal rear spoiler, the package emphasized both straight-line performance and unmistakable visual presence, helping cement its place among the most iconic American muscle cars of the era.

Originally delivered to Burdette Brothers Pontiac of Hyattstown, Maryland, this '69 Pontiac GTO Judge is powered by a 400ci Ram Air III V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter.

Following the acquisition by a relative of the seller in 2002, the car underwent a multi-year refurbishment including a refinishing, reapplication of "The Judge" graphics, and an interior refresh. This Baltimore, Maryland-built GTO Judge features bucket front seats, an AM radio, and power-assisted brakes with discs up front.

This 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge is now offered with an owner’s manual, Pontiac Historical Services documents, refurbishment photos, and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.
