Smile 70 OO in Michigan here

HI All,

wanted to introduce myself and my new to be 70 Judge! I just purchased this car at Mecum in Kissimmee a few weeks back. She was built in Pontiac and sold new in Holland according to the PHS docs. I know she's not concourse but i am looking to enjoy it and drive her all summer. This car came out of a museum where she has slept since 2007. Looks like I may have some fun ahead, first things first with changing fluids.

Always open to suggestions on what products to use as well. I'm not new to old Pontiacs (always had trans ams) but this is my first GTO.

Anywho hope to connect with some other folks from SE Michigan as well.

Jeff

Welcome from NW Ohio. That's a very nice ride that followed you home from Kissimmee! I was at Mecum Kissimmee on Thursday and a red '70 RA IV Judge vert (1 of 6) went across the block but didn't make reserve!

Can you post a copy of the PHS to Holland ?
Never seen an export invoice that indicated it's destination.
Would be cool to see it

Feel free to cover/blurr any key codes or partial VIN if it's above comfort level .
Car looks great ! Congratulations

Was that Holland Amsterdam or Holland Michigan?

I just assumed Michigan.

Does your trim tag have 60 or 06 as the paint code?
Build date?

Nice looking Judge

Did they have a Pontiac dealer there?
(I don't have a listing for one)


A PHS and cowl tag pic would be nice.

John has 2 dealers named Holland listed.
Both in Burlington Ontario Canada

PHS invoice wouldn't name an export dealer.
GM of Canada documents would / could name a Canadian dealer .

Here it is at Mecum .
Very very nice quality car .
https://www.mecum.com/lots/1165971/1...iac-gto-judge/

Not much info given or any documents shown.

12bolt axle might be a clerical error.
Red lugnuts and body color hood scoops were small mis-cues.
Think I like body color scoops better anyway.
Red center caps are likely correct going by the EUN range.
