1970 Pontiac GTO “The Judge” with Starlight Black paint and Expanded Morrokide Red bucket seat interior. We transported this Judge from the owner’s house back to our Garage for some much needed TLC and factory correct parts. The engine had a few oil leaks and missing a few correct parts, the transmission was incorrect and now has a period correct Muncie M21 with the correct Hurst 4 speed shifter. The original Nodular iron rear end housing had an oil leak, unfortunately all the ring gear bolts were loose and 1 fell out that created some carnage. Completely rebuilt now with 3.36:1 gears and an Auburn posi unit. The 15” rims and tires are being replaced with the correct 14” x 6” JT Rally II wheels with Firestone Wide Oval radials. The original carburetor was missing, and the owner bought a correct 7040273 WC. They brought this to me and the first thing I noticed is the pad was thin for the stamping, which means someone machined the pad and restamped the body. Hopefully they will get the money back, you must be very careful when buying parts from someone you do not know. The Red bucket seat covers were replaced after years of wear and tear. The 400 WS Ram Air III engine will get some new gaskets, seals and a fresh coat of Pontiac blue metallic paint. The correct 1100704 37 amp alternator was located and concours restored by Jon N. All engine brackets, pulleys and Ram Air pan have been restored, sway bars and cross member are powder coated. The engine will breath through factory exhaust manifolds, hooked up to a new Gardner concours exhaust system with Turbo mufflers and chrome splitters. 🇺🇸
