Pontiac GTO Convertible Judge Tribute 400 V8 1969

General description : Description
A great complete build of the car you always wanted to have. That's how you should view this 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible upgraded to The Judge tribute. With its performance-built 400 V8, sleek style, drop-top charm, and iconic color combo, it's an awesome real GTO with a ton of added appeal. If you like Chevys, you call this paint Hugger Orange; but if you're a Pontiac person, you know this is Carousel Red. It is one of the most iconic colors from the GM pallet, and it is exactly how you want a tribute to The Judge to look. And while this one is already a factory Carousel Red car, there has been an investment later in life to give it a respray. That way this sunshine-friendly convertible has a nice gloss when the sunlight hits it. The bright chrome trim and clean lines combine with this quality finish for a nice-looking overall presentation. And because this is a real-deal GTO you have exclusive pieces, like the stylish Endura front end that was not shared with any other mid-size Pontiacs in 1969. This one even has the ultra-desirable hidden headlight package (it will need servicing to ideally function.) The Ram Air VI dual hood scoop is another unmistakable icon of this muscle car, and it really is feeding fresh air to the big V8. Plus, the black accents on those go great with The Judge's stripes. Polished Cragar SS wheels, big/bight dual exhaust tips, and The Judge's full-width rear spoiler all make this a seriously mean and sharp muscle car. The white convertible top looks distinctive against the fiery red paint, and it's a quality piece with a glass back window. With the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal a parchment interior. So you get a distinctive white against the Carousel Red no matter if the top is up or down. The bucket seats were restored with the correct intricate pattern. The appeal continues with the fresh look on the coordinating rear seats and door panels. But thanks to black carpeting, you don't have to worry about dusting off your shoes before hopping in and going for a drive... after all, that's the whole point of a cool muscle car like this. There are premium factory features that make the journey better, like the center console and factory air conditioning (it has been upgraded to R134a but it will need servicing.) There's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo to give you the best in driving music. This has all the best driver-oriented muscle car features, like the Hurst dual gate shifter, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and beyond that is the sporty triple pod gauge package. Looking for the tach? It's outside on the iconic hood-mounted unit. It wouldn't be a '69 GTO without the big 400 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. You get a 1969-correct block, and it looks great filling out the tidy engine bay with its shiny valve covers and correct turquoise block. But beyond just the looks, this one is a strong performer with upgrades like Edelbrock aluminum heads, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Doug's long tube headers, and a terrific dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. We also have build receipts detailing the engine being rebuilt in 2020! And don't forget, you can control the Ram Air system from behind the wheel for when you want to force-feed fresh air into this enhanced V8. In fact, this is a thoughtful total setup with good supporting components, like steel braided lines, AN fittings, MSD plug wires, and an MSD ignition. The TH400 is such a stout unit that the dual gate shifter is there for added control. Plus, there are all-around fine driving features, like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As. A real-deal GTO convertible is already a rare treat and this one upgrades the power and adds plenty of style with its Judge appearance. It all makes for an awesome muscle car total package that you don't want to let slip away. Call today!!!
