This 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge is extensively documented and, according to Mecum, "enjoys a high profile in the Pontiac community as one of the finest in the country." Its history includes at least one television and book appearance.
The Judge was bought from its original owners with just 38,000 miles on the odometer before being treated to a full frame-off restoration by Best of Show in Chicago, IL.
Westech or Silver Lake, Wisconsin, then handled the job of rebuilding the car's original Ram Air III engine and Muncie M20 4-speed transmission. Both retain all the major original components.
