Default GTO JUDGE Photo

From Motor Trend Mag.

"Cosmetic changes likely will include a racier cockpit, a larger rear wing, and probably a hood scoop. Misty-eyed nostalgic types on our staff are also predicting flashy graphics and, with luck, an Orbit Orange paint job to match the original Judge's."

They forgot to add the side stripes and Ram Air scoops!

has the dispute been settled about who will have rights to THE JUDGE name yet? Last I heard was that SLP and GM were both fighting over the name.

Thats a photochop... and a BAD one at that.

Pure speculation on Motor Trend's part, and probably based off the rediculous concept-styling GM has used in the past. Production model will NEVER look that riced out.

*** I love the huge "GTO Judge" sticker in front of the rear wheel ***

I attended a car show last weekend in Payson Arizona, There was a car painted with a metalic orange that would be stunning for the new judge. subtle yet very stunning much like the metalics we have on the current production cars. I would love to have had the foresight to ask about the color and painter. I would love to paint a 69 in that color.

Very nice! Are the hood scoops connected? Did you modify you existing hood?

Hood scoops are connected the same way the original ram air scoops were in the old goats. The hood itself is a second nos or dealer ordered replacement hood I bought from the local pontiac dealer. Hood was modified for the scoops and the original hood with the production numbers is safely stode away in the box the second hood came in. Hood flappers will be throttle actuated. Just figuring out a way to connect the linkages. Enjoy!

Try adding springs and adjusting tension. Fully closed when engine off and slightly open when idling. Anything past idle would cause it to open full. This will definitely work.
