Palladium Silver 1970 GTO hardtop owned by Craig Linklater from Coaldale, Alberta Canada. This was our Picture Of The Week for 4/1/07. Craig tells us, "I had traveled to Denver Colorado to pick up a 1970 GTO. I drove 17 hours to find a rust bucket full of Bondo. I came across another 1970, called and talked. He said I wouldn't be disappointed with the car. I drove two hours back to Denver and it was gorgeous. Numbers matching 455HO for the same price guy wanted for the piece of rust. I loaded up and headed back to Canada. He had it dressed up with Judge spoilers, stripes, and Ram Air. I added hood tach and 15" Rallies. It also has an original Judge emblem on glove box."

Erik Hutters from Sweden owns this Orbit Orange 1970 Judge hardtop. This was our Picture Of The Week for 7-22-07. Erik tells us about his Judge, "I bought the car in 1990 with a blown engine (it had a 5.57:1 in the 12-bolt rear, ooops..., now a 3.90:1 rear). The car was supposed to be a Judge. It had a funny wing and was heavily modified in a 80s style with flip-front in fibre glas, padded interior, red/white chassis etc. I had to have it anyway. I have been dreamin' about a 70 GTO for years. Through PHS I got it verified that was a true Judge! It was sold in Port Chester New York. It was imported to Sweden in 1975. It spent a brief period in the Netherlands (found some 'evidence' that says dutch in the car). I got a new 1970 455 block back in the car and drove it a couple of years in the mid-90s. I grew tired of the headers, wild camshaft, and shift-kit. The turning point was when I found an original Judge wing on a wrecked van in the woods outside of Göteborg. I made a sweet deal on it - about 20 US dollars. In 1997 I tore the car down. I found a donor-car, which gave me a complete front-clip, interior, and lots of other parts. The fibre-glas front was mounted on the donor-car and later sold to the
Netherlands. After nine years of resto, in June 2006, the ol' Goat is back on the streets. I still haven't run more than 500 km. There are still some adjustments and tweaks that needs to be done, but I enjoy
every minute of it! It's not a show winner and far from perfect, but
it works for me! And with an Orbit Orange Judge, you sure don't go
unnoticed! Thanks to: My wife Iréné, Anders, Mats Bruun, Lennart, Pennti, Kling, Bengan, Sonny, Thomas N., Pete Stack, the GTO-mailing list for being a light in the dark, and many others. I couldn't done it without my friends!"

Here's how Erik Hutters' 1970 GTO Judge looked before he restored it. Remember, he said, " It had a funny wing and was heavily modified in a 80s style with flip-front in fibre glas, padded interior, red/white chassis etc."

Here is a better shot of that goofy rear spoiler. Not sure what it was originally from. The red frame is interesting. External fuel pump makes it easy to work on!

Here is a shot of the front flipped up to see the engine. Some reinforcement bars have been added.
CLICK->
Here is a shot part way through the restoration process. He has it all taken apart and started rebuilding the front clip. Looks like the engine might be installed too.

Dash goes back in. It has The Judge emblem on the glove box.

Says xinto.@pipeline.com - "You da man for developing and maintaining a website that makes us all proud and the posers shamefully jealous."
