70 GTO convertible Judge clone at $56K in Georgia. This is a real 242 GTO convertible, yet has the poser Ram Air stickers on the hood with a Judge wing and stripes. It may be just me, but unless the wing is on a real Judge, it devalues the car by it being there. If this car were in original form it would be so much more awesome. What is it? A GTO convertible... Yes! A Judge convertible... eh...no. /JMHO

Not my bag but i know some of you out there like them, a 1969 Pontiac Custom S station wagon at $1500 NR in CA. If it's a no rust CA car, that's a big plus. Seller claims it runs great with its 350. I love these cars with GTO noses and hoods. Your neighbor may not be too happy you bought this car and parked it out front. My old HOA used to come after me on my 79 Trans AM and it was decent with original paint.

Here's one with a GTO front end (not this car).

One in blue

1999 Pontiac Firebird Firehawk 6 speed convertible with 19K on at $34K BIN in Michigan. I don't know a lot about the Firehawks, but I think the Firehawk option in 1999 wasn't as extensive as previous years. I'm assuming the asking price on this as close to its MSRP. What I find interesting about this car is the seats. I have to say I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the flowery sides to the seats.

69 GTO in Las Vegas at $12K Reserve not met. Really cool color combo on this car. IMO, if they took some rubbing compound and removed the Judge decals (no wing) and painted the Rally II's this car would look 100% better.

Those ribs on the seat side bolsters allow motion of the adjustable wings. Was quite a secure feeling when it hugged your lower back from the sides during enthusiastic driving.

68 Firebird restomod dealer car with an LS3 in Texas at $74K BIN (Yikes!!!). We all know what opinions are like, but my take on cars like these is to take in a direction where the finished car make sense. If it's stock look you want, then it looks stock. If it's a full on restomod, do whatever you want. On this car I love the LS3. 426HP in stock form on my 2010 Camaro SS, I've never owned a car with more horsepower and I love it. So the blacked out look can work (I don't think this one does), but why stick with Rally II's? The interior has mods, but the seats are stock. Don't you think for $74K the interior would be fully upgraded with shoulder harnesses? Says it has a Hotchkis Sport Suspension. Is that good enough to make this car handle with an LS3?

70 GTO Judge at $76K in Florida. If this is a real Judge (it doesn't say it isn't and it does have Ram Air) this seems cheap for a car like this. Really cool colors.

It is a Judge, sold from Gay Pontiac.
On ebay in 2015 I believe.

Default Bought this car.

Because it was listed on this thread I recently bought this 72' Lemans GT. Amazingly solid southern California car with original paint. Thank you for posting these cars!

70 GTO in Texas at $15K NR. Really nice car and the seller isn't established on eBay. I'd need to see it in person.

That's a beauty, inside and out. Nice to see the colored vinyl top (gold?) - to me it looks great with the gold paint and interior. Mikey likes it.

While I appreciate the effort that goes into a car like this, it reeks of a lack of planning IMO. Dealer car 79 Trans AM race car with a 455 at $20K OBO. Nice work on this car, but what are you going to do with it? Not street legal as none of the lights work and has mufflers? Has a Formula hood cut up to fit a giant fake FI air cleaner with a tunnel ram and dual quads. Has two big heavy seats and they left the door panels and carpet, while removing the headliner? Looks like it's tubbed with a roll bar and has a 12 bolt (prolly has 4:11's) with stock wheels. The 455 has 72cc #48 heads so compression is through the roof. If you bought car (assuming it has a title) and put it back to stock for the most part, you'd probably wind up with a nice car you could actually drive. I'd bet you a wooden nickel this project was started in the 80's when an air cleaner sticking through the hood was cool... now, not so much.
