Non Judge 1969 Carousel Red GTO
Anybody heard of or know of any 69 GTO's painted Carousel Red and not be a Judge (documented with build sheet). I thought this was a Judge only color. Thanks

Thru the years I have seen a couple. If I get a chance I will look to see if I have the PHS on them. I am almost positive one was a Ram Air III which was pretty cool.

I have a least two in my PHS stash. Must of been annoying back then with a car like that; the disapointed look on every face when you explained to them, "no its not a Judge, it's JUST a plain old GTO."

I almost bought loaded carousel red 69 GTO convertible from the original owner when I was a teenager in the late 1980's. He told me the whole story how it was special ordered in the carousel red and everyone thought it was a Judge. Quite uniqe and real rare. If you look at the paint chips for 69 you will see it on there marked as special order.
On a related note a customer could actually order any GM color they wanted then as long as you paid the extra fee for it. I worked with a guy whose parents owned a large Buick dealer and his dad would always order a few Gran Sports, Riverias and Centurion convertibles in non Buick colors. |

I have PHS on a Ram3 TT GTO from eBay.
In person, I've seen way more Birds in factory T / 72 Carousel Red than GTO's. On GTO it was extra cost @ $115.85 On Birds it was only @ $12.64 |

Someone on this site has an Orbit Orange GTO non Judge. It's a Pontiac car like mine and was built within a month of my car. He lives in Europe somewhere.

There was a Carousel Red vert running around Belmont, MA in the mid 80's.
Parchment interior and black top, 4spd, & power windows. Sure was a pretty car.

How about a 69 GTO Carousel Red Ram Air III non-Judge? Better yet, how about 2..
Here is one that makes no sense B150742: Somebody ordered a 69 GTO in Carousel Red/Parchment with the Ram Air III engine, Rally II wheels, Ride handling package, and Special Order Paint for a total of $372.83 in options when they could have ordered the Judge package with all that stuff included for $337.02. 35 years later the car is restored with Judge wing and stripes added and the current owner has to explain "No It's Not a Judge, but it is a factory Carousel Red car" And another oddball build R172170 is a Carousel Red/Parchment, Ram Air III, 4spd, non-Judge with poverty caps! I love looking at these PHS sheets and imagining how they were brand new. John |

john ,you are absolutely right ,just order the judge ,and save some bucks,hindsight is 20/20,how many people 40 years ago that ordered these cars knew they were going to be worth something today,I say a small percentage,knew ,I mean if that was the case,everyone would get a ramair IV car, and a 4 speed ,some different color combos,like palladium silver exterior,blue interior,black exterior,red or gold interior,warwick blue exterior,parchment interior,so on and so on

Personally, I prefer the Judge go-fast goodies without the visual package.

Anyway, I'm under the impression orbit orange was available early in the '71 production run. Ditzler thought it was too:
