This 1969 Pontiac GTO is finished in Expresso Brown with yellow stripes over a Parchment interior and equipped with the Judge package, which features factory powertrain and cosmetic enhancements. Built in June 1969 and delivered new to Cathcart Pontiac of Trenton, New Jersey, the car reportedly underwent a refurbishment around 2007 and was acquired approximately nine years ago by the seller. Power is supplied by a numbers-matching 400ci Ram Air IV V8 paired with a close-ratio Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a Positraction rear end, a hood-mounted tachometer, a Hurst shifter, a push-button AM radio, and power steering. This GTO Judge is now being offered with a copy of the build sheet and a clean Missouri title in the seller’s name.
The exterior was factory finished in Expresso Brown (61) and is said to have received a repaint during the aforementioned refurbishment. “The Judge” decals are found on the front fenders, and additional exterior features exclusive to the Judge package include yellow, olive, and white stripes, a rear spoiler, and a black front grill. Additional equipment includes hood-mounted scoops with Ram Air IV badging. A scratch on the nose of the car was repaired by the seller, and noted flaws consist of a touched-up scratch on the passenger-side rear quarter panel, sanding marks on the driver-side quarter panel and roof, dirt in the paint in both quarter panels, and bubbling atop the passenger-side door. A video of the hideaway headlights in operation can be viewed here.
The 14” Rally II wheels are wrapped in period-style white-letter Goodyear Polyglas tires. A full-size spare is found in the trunk, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted front disc brakes with rear drums. The seller notes that the rear shock absorbers have been replaced.
The cabin features front bucket seats, a rear bench, and door panels trimmed in Parchment upholstery (257) along with a contrasting black dashboard and carpets. Faux wood trim surrounds a push-button AM radio, and the car is equipped with a Hurst T-handle shifter and power steering.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts factory instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a fuel level gauge. A hood-mounted 8k-rpm tachometer sits ahead of the driver, and the five-digit odometer shows just under 41k miles, approximately 6k of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 400ci Ram-Air IV V8 is fed through functional hood scoops and was factory-rated at 370 horsepower. Aluminum rocker arms were reportedly installed during prior ownership, and a PerTronix electronic ignition module and coil have been fitted. The fuel tank, dipstick assembly, timing chain cover, valve covers, and exhaust manifolds are said to have been replaced by the seller, who notes that the removed exhaust manifolds are included in the sale.
Engine block stamping number 29G147890 matches the last eight digits of the vehicle’s VIN.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential with 3.90:1 gears. The underside is said to have been repainted, and the seller reports that the chassis was lubricated around a year ago. Additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery below.
