As my 69 GTO PHS collection closes in on 1,250 (565 of which are Judges) I noticed some interesting patterns on the preferences of Judge versus non-Judge buyers:

Bench seat: 1.9% of Judges (J) and 5.9% of non-Judges (NJ)
(probably related to much more automatic non Judges)
Air conditioning: 11.3% vs 41.4%
(obviously different buyer demographics)
3spd manual: 4.1% vs 4.1%
(this was a bit surprising)
M20 manual 4 spd: 61.6% vs 31.2%
M21 manual 4 spd: 11.7% vs 6.7%
Turbo hydramatic: 22.7% vs 58.0%
(as I expected)
column shift (only offered w/ th400): 1.8% vs 7.0%
(this could be with bench or buckets)
Tire options (colors for Judge, size or FG for non-judge): 28.1% vs 26.3%
(coincidentally about the same for different reasons)
Safe-T-Track: 77.9% vs 48.5%
Two Tone paint (on Hardtop only): 0.2% vs 1.3%
Special paint (not counting CR on Judges): 0.9% vs 1.3%
Carousel Red Paint: 68.1% vs 2.4%
Cordova Top (on Hardtop only): 8.1% vs 55.0%
