Awesome footage of the car. I used to love watching that show. Never knew about HULU.com. Great idea to watch those old shows to see all the old cars.

Awesome
It is pretty amazing how such obscure events that happened 40 years ago can be pieced together into a coherent story..... and that we all find it so facinating.. Just goes to show how crazy we all are!

Begiining with the 1970 model year, the Formula wheel became widely available on Pontiacs with power steering - Firebirds, GTO's and LeMans', and Grand Prix's.

On an episode of Rockford Files there is a red on black air shocked '70 GTO with a Judge wing and skinny Keystone Klassics. Could this be the same car repainted red???

During my USMC years in S.Calif. back in the early 80s, I met a fellow junkyarder named Dimitri. He claimed to have the GTO used in "Two Lane Blacktop". The story was that Johnny Carson obtained it from Universal Studios and he later sold it to the guy Dimitri bought it from. I last visited Dimitri (lived near Hollywood) in 1987. See attached photo.
(have others, still looking for them). Windshield still had a Universal Studios sticker on it. The day I visited him, he couldn't get the hood open but told me it had a RAIV in it. The other '70 he had (The Judge) did have a RAIV in it (have photos of that too). Everything was for sale... the Judge he wanted $3800 for but he wanted to keep the engine (or add $1k to the car). The TLB GTO he wanted $4500. There were other cars too... '69 GTO, '69 Firebird Conv, etc. Ended up buying a lot of parts from him that day but unfortunately, no cars.

Watching those clips brings back memoried on how we drove-n-treated our muscle cars back then.
We beat the heck out of them. My FB out lasted all my buddy's chevies, dodge's, and fords. See'n those dual scoops from inside the car really makes me miss drive'n my 67. That, and see'n the hood tach reach'n 6200 rpm back then. I'll have watch it regularly to keep me motivated during it's restoration. Thanks

Those are great photos, that pic is almost identical to the street scene that was there when I purchased the car, I remember Johnny Carson's blue 455 GTO sitting on the curb aong with a early 69 Judge and a 69 Trans AM . The car was advertised in Hemmings motor news early 1988, I contacted Dimitrious Panagatous (Yehiel chime in here if I spelled his name right)and we made a deal, I sent him a deposit. I flew down with my wife and 2 children and did a Disney land/ car buying trip. Dimitrious picked me up in a nice 72 442 pace car vert, we drove to his studio apartment to make the transaction, which was on that street in your picture, he had recently had the car painted so I had ordered a set of stripes prior to our trip and installed them on the car in the parking lot of the hotel we were staying in the next morning . Also he had installed a 4-speed in the car, he still had the original numbers matching 400 trans which was in a shed in East LA which I insisted on getting, I followed him in the Judge over to the shed and loaded it in the trunk, the interior in the car was still original with the seat covers being brittle and missing some areas of vinyl, have some of them pics somewhere I'll have to dig out. after our Disney fun we loaded up and drove the PCH up to Carmel and then over Donners pass to the interstate to Seattle where we loaded the car on the Sealand ship to Anchorage Alaska. I'll have to dig up the pics Dimitrious sent me and post them. Bruce |

Awesome information. Loved the Adam-12 episode. Why no Judge emblem on the fenders of the Adam-12 Judge? GTO emblem instead. Resto shows Judge stickers.
