Rare 1970 Pontiac GTO 'Judge' muscle car could sell for a fortune. Here's why
Fox News
A 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible that is one of just seven that were built with a particular engine and transmission combination is coming up for auction.
The Orbit Orange muscle car is one of just 17 convertible GTOs built that year with a 400-cubic-inch V8 equipped with the special Ram Air IV intake system that boosted its horsepower to a range-topping 370 hp. Gary Gastelu is Fox News Digital's automotive editor.
The Judge name was inspired by the "Here comes the Judge" catchphrase used by entertainer Sammy Davis on the TV show "Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In," according to Hagerty.
