I, too, have a 70 Mint Turquoise LeMans that was repainted white; it is now pretty much stripped. I assume it was repainted white after accident damage and they couldn't/didn't want to try to match the MT. If you look on Ultimate GTO, you should be able to find a picture of a non-Judge one. Mine has a black bench interior, column shift, and did have a black vinyl roof. The vinyl will not be replaced; I've even ground down the studs. GTORIC - Thanks for the color code; I'm thinkin' that's also available from the paint chips.

I have pics of one with a 455 from the factory in a magazine from 1984. It's darker than any of the pics here but is supposed to be completely original unrestored. I can add it here if you like.

Sure, thanks...I'm also waiting for a pic of one of the few that I heard were in the process of being fully restored

Found it, I wonder who owns it today? At the time it was Wayne Tenney's car. He ordered it new and it was a Baltimore, Maryland early build car. Ultra nice with 455 V8. Not a Judge, but is that color.

Not to mention the pic was taken on the grass, which tends to alter the color somewhat.

For brevity.


Guess that didn't do much good.

I like the outside color but not with the red insides, needs black or the white., real white though not that off white that always looks dirty.

The auto kills it for me. It's funny, as autos don't bother me for HOs but for RA cars, they do.

You are right on Diego.

69-70 GTO's and Judge with small cube 400 must be a 4 speed car.

However, a big inch 71-72 455 HO with an Automatic ,sign me up!

While the Judge is my favorite, I am leaning towards the idea that Mint Turquoise works better with the standard GTO.

Not for me, not these days. A schweet TH400 build with good converter is exciting on the street. 4L80 controlled with 4speed Hurts floor shifter & clutch pedal is far more capable and reliable.

suppose the 4speed car gets the poor mans lenco and we're in agreement. Keep the original stuff on a shelf.

I'll admit it's an illogical bias.
