    1970 PONTIAC GTO JUDGE CONVERTIBLE
    LOT #1025.1 - NO RESERVE
    2006 BJCCA CCA

    No photos
    available.

    OPTIONS
    COLOR - RED
    TRANS - AUTO
    CYLINDERS - V8
    ENGINE SIZE - 400
    HORSEPOWER - 366

    "Cardinal red Ram Air III with red interior and white convertible top. This rare and fully documented numbers matching fully restored beauty is one of just 168 total produced for 1970. To put Judge convertible production in proper prosepective, only 293 were built during 3 years of production, 1969-1971! That accounts for just 2.6% of total judge production. A gorgeous restored car with fantastic detail throughout, this car is ready show or drive. Documentation includes original build sheet and extensive ownership history. Do not hesitate to add the 'Holy Grail' of Pontiac muscle to your collection. Judge convertibles such as this are simply unattainable with recent sales in excess of $300,000 and a lot more buyers than cars!"

    Good for you Roy... I've been watching every minute of it and remember the car. Yes, good buy. Seems most of the goats were a good buy for the money, a conv judge only enhances the future resale value. I also think the bikes were a good buy. White CT held it's own...think it went for 87?

    Today (Sat) should be intersting.

    Sounds like a fair price to me, at least a price that you won't get hurt at which is saying something for BJ, there is usually a frenzy of bids on the old big blocks...big blocks, big bucks.

    We'll see you in the big 'D' for superbowl if the Seahawks make it, eh?

    I have a question. Will you drive this car or just park it? Not trying to a smart ass but just really intrested. I saw others on BJ go for ridiculous prices and I wonder if these cars will be driven??

    It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - if you're happy with the price then you bought well.

    I think if you love and always wanted one you got a great deal, if you bought it as an investment only only God knows what the future will hold. In the realm of things considering what other rare musclecar converts are pulling I think it was a good deal. Ram air IV cars are 300-400k cars, so Ram air III should be right behind it, and Hemi and Six Pack Mopar convertibles, well you know CRAZY MONEY!! Good Luck.
