1970 Pontiac GTO Judge 400 Ram Air III 4-Speed

Description

1970 marked the second year the Pontiac GTO’s Judge package was available, building on the bold, image-driven Pontiac formula. With its signature graphics, functional Ram Air hood, and unmistakable road presence, the Judge quickly established itself as one of the most recognizable muscle cars of the era, pairing aggressive styling with genuine performance at the height of Detroit’s horsepower wars.

Built in September 1969 at Pontiac’s Michigan assembly plant, this GTO Judge was originally delivered to Al Crandall Pontiac-Cadillac in Hillsdale, Michigan, according to the included Pontiac Historical Services documents.

The car is finished in Granada Gold over a Saddle interior, and it retains a numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch Ram Air III V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Kept by the seller for the past 13 years, this GTO is equipped with power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, bucket front seats, and a push-button AM radio.

This 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge is now offered with an owner’s manual, Pontiac Historical Services documents, a copy of the window sticker, factory build sheet, and New York State registration in the seller’s name.
