Blue 1971 GTO hardtop owned by Ken and Teresa from San Ramon, California. Ken tells us more, "My wife had to have it when she saw it for sale about a year ago. She was sold on it when the seller started it up for her and took her for a ride she'll never forget. The car was just slapped together, hot rodded with oversized tires and rims when we bought it. It is 1 of 2,011 4-speeds made for this year. This is the real deal. When I got it home we added the side stripes, 15x8 Cragars with knock-offs, and a wing to go into the original holes to keep with the 70's theme. The motor is a numbers
matching 400 pumped with all the goodies. This car gets up and moves. Soon under the hood is next to restore. The car is a beast. I always get a kick when at a stop light and someone is on a cell phone throwing me dirty looks. The car sounds so obnoxious it gathers a lot of attention wherever we go."CLICK-> 
Blue 1971 GTO hardtop, front end view. Ken adds, "The plate read 5150GTO, that means, crazy old goat."I did a bit of research. "5150" is a call code used by US police. I've been told that it means "emergency or criminal insanity". According to the Fresno County California Human Services System, 5150 is a designated California Welfare and Institutions Code. This code allows a mental health worker or police officer to admit someone to a psychiatric facility for involuntary 72-hour treatment and evaluation. Hopefully they won't incarcerate people in this way for doing crazy burnouts! CLICK->

Quezal Gold 1971 Judge hardtop owned by R/T from Ft Myers, Florida. It has the 455HO engine, M22 4-speed rock crusher manual transmission, 12-bolt Pontiac factory rear end, hood tach, heavy duty shocks, and of course the factory installed Judge package. Awesome! R/T tells us, "I bought it from Quebec Canada. It could very well be the last GTO Judge built with the production date 01D (last week of Jan 1971) production #049999?."CLICK->

Quezal Gold 1971 Judge hardtop, interior view. It has the optional Formula steering wheel. Power steering was required with this steering wheel. Pontiac found the smaller diameter wheel too hard for the average person to turn without power steering. This was especially true when trying to park.CLICK-> 
Here is the data plate found under the hood on top of the firewall. Let's decode it! The 71 is for the 1971 model year. 2 is for Pontiac. 42 is for the GTO model. 37 is for the hardtop body style. PON is the Pontiac Michigan assembly plant. 0499999 is the sequential body number for the assembly plant. 269 is the black interior. 53 53 is the Quezal Gold top and bottom paint. 01D is the assembly date of January during the 4th week.CLICK-> 
Documentation is everything, especially for a rare car like this.CLICK->
