1970 GTO Judge Convertible
This 1970 GTO “Judge” Convertible is one of only 168 Judge Convertibles built in 1970. The car has the
original 100% numbers matching Ram Air III engine that it was born with and has been carefully restored to “as
new” condition. If you’ve been searching for a no excuse 1970 Judge Convertible, with the original engine,
this is your chance to get a top-notch GTO that will bring home a trophy at the next GTOAA or Pontiac Nationals.
This car started life in New York and was originally shipped to Piehler Pontiac, in Rochester, New York and was
carefully pampered and very well cared for by the first owner.
When the current owner purchased this car, a decision was made to do a full frame-off restoration to give the car a
“fresh” look. The car was completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal. The frame was removed and the
entire drivetrain was rebuilt. The body of this vehicle was gone over from front to back and the body fit is laser
straight and better than new. Once the body was prepared, it was given a fresh coat of the correct Palisade Green
(code 45), using the best modern DuPont base coat clear-coat paint. The frame was also stripped and all chassis
components were replaced and refinished in the correct original factory finishes.
While the engine was out of the car, it was sent out and completely rebuilt. The original 400 Ram Air III engine
(YZ) block was honed and new pistons, rings and bearings installed. The crank was checked and lightly refinished.
The original Ram Air cylinder heads were checked and given a valve job, along with new valves and valve springs.
Everything was reassembled and the entire engine assembly was given a coat of the correct Pontiac silver-blue
engine paint.
No stone was left unturned and the interior was completely redone with nothing but the best of correct materials.
All instruments and gauges were checked for operation and repaired or replaced, if necessary. All wire harnesses
were replaced with new. The restoration on this GTO is 100% “factory correct”, right down to the original
style Firestone tires.
This is a top notch car that is worthy of going to a good home! It will make a “star” addition to any car
collection.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
