That is a super nice car with high-quality work and parts to make it look so good.
You lived in CA... what is so special about the black plates? Are they just "period-correct" or were they something "unique" or "custom"? Does CA let you register a car with them today? |

Yes to all the above. The black plates were available from 63 to 69 and have come to signify the 'Sixties' in California.
Starting in 1963 California plate issue is for the lifetime of the vehicle. So if your car was initially registered from 63 to 69 it is possible to still use your original black plates as well as the blue and the white plates in later years California also allows owners of 56 to 69 vehicles to purchase a set of black or yellow background plates (which were available from 56 to 62), for registration purposes as long as they are clear in the system. The third option is to buy the updated Black plates. The font is slightly different from the originals and the black background is reflective, but they can also be personalized. A yearly fee tacked on to your registration. Other states are jumping on the bandwagon. Oregon sells the blue 'Pacific Wonderland' plates popular in the early sixties. But it's truly a "California Thing" lol.

Beautiful color combo on that one. The vinyl top looks killer on it.

$3800 or best offer. California location...might be a good one for the right person. Car doesn't look too bad in the limited number of photos provided.

70 4 speed GTO Judge in Alabama at $15K with a reserve. Looks like most of it's there, but the engine is out of a 78 T/A and there's extensive rust. Paperwork says it originally had a Sandalwood cordova top. Seems like an odd color combo. If the stickers are original, they had lime green accents, which seems odd on a red car?

I'll bet that was an eye-popping combo back in the '70s. I'd prefer the black top myself.

69 Firebird in NJ at $1500 with a reserve. Lots of potential in this project car. No engine/trans, but the front fenders and quarters have been replaced. Looks like good bones.

70 GTO 4 speed in AZ at $45K BIN. Burgendy with a brown interior is something you don't see often. Nice restoration on this car.

Overall a pretty clean 70. I don't understand the 64-69 die cast 'GTO' emblem on the trunklid, or the missing 'GTO' fender decals Do people not look at photos? The level of ignorance and poor emblem/decal placement on a lot of GTO's for sale online boggles the mind.
