time to revive an old thread, in 1970 Oshawa produced 85 Pontiac GTO's for Canadian sale in color ( or colour if you are Canadian ) Orbit Orange, and 55 for US sale in color Orbit Orange. Hope this helps.

regarding this posting, there is a lot of mis information here:

The 442 # is the total # of 70 Judges Sold NEW in Canada in 1970 not the actual production of the Oshawa assembly plant.GM of Canada records every car regardless of where it was built as recorded total # sold new in Canada.
The balance of 154 Judge cars are probably 50 RAIV Judge cars built from Pontiac head plant because Oshawa only built RAIII Judges and the other 100 or Judges are from other assemble plants in USA ie Freemont California is a lot closer to the western provinces of BC and Alberta than Oshawa.
I hope this clarifies the #'s for everyone.
Fred Simons is correct 288 Judges built in Oshawa.
WRONG!
we built 1,866 GTO coupes in 1970 for Canadian sale in Oshawa, 442 with WT1, 526 with L74, 133 with L75.
we built 3,014 for US sale, 288 with WT1, 379 with L74, 286 with L75.
We can break down colour combinations, but call and order a history package and then you will have the info on your car.

So what your saying is that Oshawa built 140 Orbit Orange GTO's , I have heard that there were not very many OO GTO's built...???

Orbit Orange was coded 06 in Canada, yes, 85 + 55 = 140.
Sorry did not mean to jump in so harshly, there was too much wrong info in that posting.
