So I guess this means it's not 'real Judge owner approved'.

The first pic I said "oh, that's not terrible..." then it got worse and worse. BUT, it is on the road and not rotting in a junkyard, so let's give them that.

Its unique, probably drives nice, and has a lot of features. Not much for legroom in the back.

I partially agree. Some things aren't so bad, other things they completely missed the mark. Like the door handles (UFO like); tacky engine cover; billet hood hinges; extended outside mirrors.... nicely adapted '06 dash but they ditched the driver's steering wheel for a custom one with no air bag. Meanwhile, passenger side dash still sports the air bag.

After seeing this car, I am converting my car to hex head fastener door handles, except mine will be purple.

Hardly. There have been only 4 bidders on this car, only 2 since the $2500 mark. I suspect neither are real.

To each his own, but IMHO that's simply hideous!

Oh well - an abrotion like that makes me appreciate the survivors, nicely restored or tastefully resto-modded Pontiacs just that much more!

It would seem the seller may have done a little tinkering with the wording as I could see it tricking a few potential buyers into thinking it's a real GTO convertible modernized as a tribute to a Judge.

Exhibit A:
"1969 GTO CONVERTIBLE TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE MUSCLE CARS IN HISTORY ...THEJUDGE.."

Exhibit B:
"MODERNIZED 1969 GTO convertible"

As far as the car itself, I don't care for it at all. However, the workmanship (at least from the photos) appears to be quality work. I can't imagine someone willingly spending the time and money on this unless it was a paying customers "vision".

I could have liked it but they trashed the looks of the rear end.......I do like the front paint scheme!
With all the custom work why no Ram Air...........

Not my kind of car but obviously someone likes it, good for him, or them....
What's wrong with this pic? Is the dash on the outside or do my eyes fool me?

High points on craftsmanship; low points on style.
