I think I'm going to buy a Judge & clone a GTO with it!

I've seen that too, well into the 80's/early 90's. 'The Judge' prior to today's BJ crazed musclecar iconic status was regarded as kinda' kitchsy and somewhat silly by many, though the car WAS/IS badass. I always liked them, but I always felt like a KISS fan in the late-70's when their commercialism began to have a life of it's own, supersceding the music. It always was about the music to me, but everyone else thought you were just in it for all the hype. When I found my GTO 7 years ago I wasn't looking for a Judge at all, but the one I found happened to be one. I darn near thought about De-Judging it just to avoid all the "is it real or not" ( it is ) questions. Of course I didn't as I liked the look and like the relative rarity as well. Seems there are more around than there were made originally.
