And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge - John DeLorean’s Famous Road Runner Hunter
When you have companies like Year One and TransAm Depot that can build a specific year old style muscle car with re-pop frames, body panels, and all other parts it is not surprising that there are more on the road today.
I have a friend that had a replica 69 Chevelle 396 built with modern independent suspension and a TKO 6-speed that had all of the factory options plus a few that were not offered like cruise control and heated seats. Back in 2010 he paid just under $70k for it and it has been his daily driver these past 10 years.
Delorean was supposed to build a "budget" GTO to take on the ROad Runner and its budget musclecar status. What John came back with was a GTO with every bell and whistle that he could put on the thing...and a price tag that matched. Turned out that is what the American public wanted...

ReplyDeleteWould be nice to see the dash and interior
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that some experts estimate there are more GTO Judges on the road now than Pontiac ever built. Buyer beware.
ReplyDeleteSame goes ALL SS Chevrolet

With respect, having owned 4 GTOs, including one like this, I believe that's a 1970. Would kill to have my 1970 back!
ReplyDeleteWhen you see an ac compressor, you know its a wannabe

ReplyDeletegoats wailed in the 60's. 66 with a 389 tripower with full race cam and hooker headers, now that's something to hear.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a '69, one of my High School buddies had a '69 Judge
