Here is an interesting view of a Carousel Red 1969 Judge hardtop. It was our Picture Of The Week for 4/29/07.CLICK-> 
Carousel Red RAIV 1969 Judge hardtop owned by John Johnson. This Judge won a Silver Concours Car Show Award at the 2007 GTOAA Nationals. It was our Picture Of The Week for 7/29/07. John had this story to share, "This is a documented 1969 RA-IV Judge hardtop. It was originally the Kelly Pontiac(Columbia MO) dealership drag car for 1969. The car ran a 12.97 once, but normally was a low 13-second car according to the man that drove it. The car was originally equipped as a 4-speed/3.90 Posi with a Parchment interior car and in-dash tach. During that year, Pontiac Motor Division had a dealer incentive program where by they'd warranty-out any broken drive-line components if the dealers would race the cars. My car 'blew' the shortblock twice (never did find what actually happened). The top end survived with the car for all the intervening years until I bought it 1982. Five owners later, there was a 421 block, a TH-400, and a 3.07 open 12-bolt in it, as well as a black interior. I got the car returned to a more original condition in the mid 1980s and then decided to get it painted about 1990 or so. After the exterior was done, and the frame was just starting to be worked on, I ran out of car-fund money. I had to stop and bring the car home, with the expectation that I would finish the car at some later date. Of course I didn't figure on that taking 17 years! Last summer my youngest son and a good friend across town convinced me that if we started on it, we could get it done for the 2007 GTOAA Nationals, and so we did. I was pleased to earn a Silver Concours Car Show Award this past month at the 2007 GTOAA Nationals."

Restoration is dirty work! In this funny photo, John Johnson and a helper were taking a break from preparing the car for the 2007 GTOAA Nationals. The hard work paid off, as the Judge got a Concours Silver Award.CLICK-> 
Cameo White 1969 Judge hardtop owned by Keith Francis from Mattapoisett Massachusetts. It is a PHS documented 1969 GTO Judge painted Cameo White with a Parchment interior, 400 Ram Air III, close-ratio 4-speed, 3.90 rear, power windows, 8-track player, and corner marker lights. This was our Picture Of The Week for 12-2-07. Keith tells us more, "I personally performed a 4.5 year frame-off restoration on this GTO in my home garage. This was completed in June of 2007. When it arrived from Pennsylvania in February of 2003, I was very excited. My friend's father was over and stated, 'I wouldn't give give you $5.00 for this piece of junk son.' I explained, 'This is a 1969 original GTO Judge that needed to be restored, it's a diamond in the rough.' He just shook his head and walked away. Yes, this was a very rough automobile. I was taken back by how much work it actually required. The good point is there was NO ROT, and the engine, trans, and rear end matched the VIN numbers. I had been searching for a white or black original 1969 GTO Judge for 10 years. When this came along I could not pass it up. Armed with perseverance, and a love of 1969
GTOs, I was not in a rush to restore her. I obtained the original parts and worked on the weekends and vacations to bring her back to life."CLICK->

NEW POST One awesome Carousel Red 1969 GTO Judge RAIV in line at the 2008 Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race in Stanton, Michigan. This one has fixed headlights. Take a look at all the other muscle in the background. Nice! This was our Picture Of The Week for 10-19-08. Here's how the races are described on the website of the organizers: The Pure Stock Drags(TM) is a heart-pumping, octane-boosting race for stock muscle cars. The cars must be built like when they rolled off the assembly line, with few modifications. The result is a wide variety of beautiful, high-quality cars-that do more than sit in the garage. The two-day race is held in September at Mid-Michigan Motorplex, a modern drag strip in the center of the state. On Friday, drivers test and tune their cars and, the next day, they're paired with someone running similar times. On Saturday, each pair races in a best-of-three mini shootout, creating many close races. There's a friendly, fun atmosphere here. Come race your car, or simply enjoy watching the great matches.
