Details:	Legends are earned the hard wayand#44; and not every car with a big engine from the muscle car era qualifies. But one special car that can do it – and do it all day long - carries the intimidating name of The Judge. Pontiacs top GTOand#44; The Judge was everything that was great about muscle carsand#44; all rolled up into the most outrageous wrapper you can imagine. So when you see this Canadian-built 1970 GTO Judgeand#44; complete with its numbers-matching powertrain and a top-flight restorationand#44; remember that youre in the presence of greatness. Were there any differences between Canadian and US-built Judges? Welland#44; not really. Same great shapeand#44; complete with the Endura front bumper splitting the grillesand#44; same outrageous colors and graphicsand#44; and the same dedication to performance. So the main difference in owning a Canadian built model like this one is that youre owning something even that much more rare. The exhaustive and thorough restoration was completed just a few years agoand#44; but dont be surprised if you were to look at it and think it just rolled off the assembly line yesterday. The paint is a very accurate re-creation of the factory Pepper Greenand#44; and bearing in mind that this was 1970and#44; it was a very popular choice. The finish work on this restoration is exemplaryand#44; done to a very high standard as youd expect in a car of this pedigree. It also carries a correct Ram Air III hoodand#44; a rear wingand#44; and beautiful reproduction Judge decalsand#44; including the brash fender flare accents and stylized The Judge emblems. Finish quality is impressiveand#44; with a great shine to the paintand#44; sharp steel creasesand#44; nice panel alignmentand#44; and a high-quality overall look that suggests the guys putting it together knew it wasand#44; welland#44; a legend. They did the chromeand#44; tooand#44; so the rear bumper sparklesand#44; the stainless trim glittersand#44; and its all very impressive in person. Given the theme hereand#44; it only seems fitting that Legendary supplied the interior of this GTO. That means exact reproduction seat coversand#44; correct door panelsand#44; and properly woven carpets that replicate the originals quite nicely. The color is rather unusual but also very appropriate in the green Judgeand#44; and with a few upscale accentsand#44; Pontiac was able to position the Judge not as a price-leader as originally intended (it was to be a Super Bee competitor)and#44; but rather as the top-of-the-line from GMs performance division. The woodgrained dash features a full array of instrumentsand#44; including a tachometerand#44; although it also includes the usual trio of aftermarket dials down low. The center console is simple and houses a Hurst T-handle shifter for the 4-speed gearbox. An original AM radio remains in the dashand#44; one of the cars few optionsand#44; and the trunk is correctly outfitted with a full-sized spare and jack assembly. Pontiacs legendary 400 cubic inch V8 provides motive powerand#44; and this is indeed the cars originaland#44; numbers-matching powerplant. Topped by a Holley carb underneath that Ram Air intake systemand#44; it barks to life easily and rumbles menacingly through a pair of Flowmasters. Proper chrome valve covers and Pontiac Turquoise paint keep the engine compartment looking quite stockand#44; and there are new components everywhere you lookand#44; from the alternator to the brake booster. Long-tube headers bolster low-end torque and a the aforementioned 4-speed gearbox powers 3.55 gearsand#44; so its equally happy on the street or the highway. Handsome Pontiac Rallye II wheels are fitted and wear period-correct G70-14 Goodyear redline tires that emphasize just how correct this car is. Documented with a build sheet and other PHS papersand#44; this is an investment-grade Judge from our friends north of the border. And it isand#44; of courseand#44;
