Yes. Factory Mint Turquoise. Not a Judge but a matching numbers 350 horse 4 speed with ice cold factory air GTO that I bought from the son of the original owner. Original owner was an Air Force Cadet that graduated in 1970. All of the graduating class bought new 1970 Corvettes except him and he bought this GTO. I still have the 14x6 wheels that came on it. To me the 14x7 wheels are the only way to go.

The mint turquoise is definitely a unique color,,, I’ve had plenty of compliments. Back in the day I probably wouldn’t have bought one but the color has grown on me. Your car looks good. Mine came with saddle interior which wasn’t on pontiacs preferred list with that exterior color but someone ordered it like that…the dealership I think.
