A lot of the body work is done on this GTO. The quarter panels were replaced before my ownership. I had the body taken off the frame. The entire bottom, irewall, nd wheel wellswerestripped to bare metal. The driver's floor pan, nd an areain the back, ere replaced. The floors lookgreat as therepairs can not be seen.Some small areas in the rear wheel wells were repaired. The perfect doors and trunk lid were stripped and primed. The front fenders have small patches in the typical problem area.The hood was stripped and is still in bare metal.It lines up with the fenders nicely, o it is not bent.A hood tach holewas added. No problems in the trunk, ear window, r front window channels.The package shelf has pitting.The radiator core support is painted. The front valence is a reproduction. There isn't any other rust or damage to repair.
The frame was blastedand powder coated. The control arms are painted. I added boxed control arms and a rear sway bar.This was amanual drum brake car, oI swapped in the Inline Tube power disc kit.The new booster, nd master cylinder,arenot shown in the photos. Fuel and brake lines are new stainless. Rear brakes, ody mounts, ore support mounts, uspension nuts and bolts, ine clips, hocks,gas tank and senderare all new.Therear end was powder coatedthen rebuilt. The nicely painted wheels are all JA coded, ith various dates. The caps, ug nuts and tires are new. There is a lot of new parts and detail work here that the pictures don't show well.
The WS code engine hasthe original matching VIN stamp, ot a re-stamp. I had it rebuilt .030 overby PaulSpotts, Pontiac specialist.No shortcutson the rebuild.Just the machine shop work was $1,500. The engine was broken in on a stand at the shop. Theblock date is K068 and both heads are J308.A correct, ebuilt water pump was found. The ram air exhaust manifolds are original.The carb turned out to be a re-stamp, ut it isrestored and ready to run. This GTOcame with the HD Safe-T-Track3.55 nodular rear, hich I hadrebuilt with new bearings. The trans is a mid-60s M20. The clutchis new. Hurst shifter included.
As far as the interior,I will include new foam and seat covers. One of the bucket seats wasdisassembled, hile the other is all together. The dash has one large crack, believe can be filled, hen re-dyed.The "Judge" emblem is on the glove box door. Interior floors were media blasted and painted a satin primerred color. The door panels and package tray were thrown out.The headliner appears soiled.
The Ram Air Pans are shown in the photos.

All the glass is included accept the windshield.
There are numerous parts, s well as theprimer, aint, nd clear,not shown in the pictures, hich will be packedin the car, f it sells.
As you can see by the VIN and PHS, his is a real Judge. Since it was Baltimore built, t also has the VIN stamped into the firewall. The trunk rods are also thicker than standard in order to support the weight of the rear spoiler. The original red paint can be found in several locations as well.
Overall its a desirable car worth putting the time and money into. I have had it several years. I took it back from the body man, hen he got a foreclosure notice. That is why it is all apart. I also have a 1970 GTO convertible and a 1970 hardtop frame off I am finishing. I don't have the storage, r workspace I used to for three cars, o I'm at the point where I decided to take a shot at selling the Judge. The good and badhas been detailed here in the description, o there shouldn't be any significant surprises, ut ifthe buyer is nothappy with itafter seeing the car in person, e can cancel the deal.

Thanks for taking a look.
