I am looking to buy a 1970 Orbit Orange GTO after selling my 73 red Trans Am. Not looking for a restored car but something I can update without much, if any , bodywork. Matching numbers not really needed but no hacked cars.
1.Must be an Orbit Orange car. 2. No rebody/ vin change. 3. Prefer a manual trans. 4. Prefer a 455 but a 400 O.K. If anyone has a lead , please post here or call. Thank you. 208-771-6021 |

You do know Orbit orange was a Judge only color, right?

Well, no. I didn't know that.
I did read in the DeMauro book that " Carousel Red was made famous in 1969 by Judge, so Orbit Orange was offered as a special judge color for the 1970 model year." Also, in that same book, DeMauro mentions that in 1969 and after February, that any GTO hue could be had for a Judge. If a buyer in 1970 wanted a non-Judge GTO could he order it as a special paint code option? Interesting. |

I was planning to change/ modify if the engine/ trans was 400/ automatic 400.
I just like the OO color . |

Yes, the T/A was a great car and I miss how it looked, handled and especially how comfortable the deluxe seats were. I sold it to a great caretaker who prefers to remain incognito.
