This one really is an example of a poor clone and is more of a clown? Even reading the ebay description it is clear that they took a 4 speed 400 GTO to do this to the car? It isn't making it better it just hurts to see a 71 GTO treated to this type of cruelty.
"1971 Pontiac GTO….Judge Clone Florida car I am listing this fine car for someone who is not Computer prone, and wants me to e-bay the car. First let me tell you about “Jim” the owner. He loves muscle cars, used to collect them and now is retiring. This GTO is a number match. It was painted 4 years ago, and cloned to a Judge. Let me amaze you with the description: Tires, (new white letters) don’t have 50 miles on them: It has Center Line Alloy Rims Engine is a 400 CI. With 3 single barrel carburetors. Headers.

I have a "cloned" 71 Judge that I love and drive all over town. Many people think it looks great too. It is a PHS documented GTO, with 455 HO, Ram Air, M-22, with formula wheel, dash tach, GTO that I consider to be more of a tribute to the Judge and can easily changed back to a 71 GTO 455 HO car.
It is very well done IMHO, and it is mine to have fun with.
