Hello iam a big muscle cars fan although not from the states.I have only once seen in my life a dodge charger , dukes of hazzard layout , which was one of the films survivors.I was shocked at the sight and the sound of the 440 six pack.But the real knock on the head was when i saw a comedy (like American Pie) that a 69 judge was starring.I felt tottaly in love with this monster....I came home and started looking and learning about those monsters and discovered a lot of barn finds and many neglected beauties in crapeyards , forests and houses.I wish i could have a body for restoration and working on it , no matter the money and the years to be spent.I would really like anyone that have ever come across , driven or owned a gto "judge" to share some moments of this car with me , so i would quite feel like changing gears through the hurst box.....Thank you all
 
I had a 68 GTO rag top. The Judge didn't come out till 69, but except for the slightly different rear bumper and taillights and ultra cool functional ram air on the judge they were almost identical. The 400 ci pontiac engine is a good one and the Muncie rock crusher 4 speed and 3.90 posi rear end made my 68 fun to drive in a straight line. Unfortunately, brakes were a different story as my 68 had drums all around and with no power steering it didn't handle too great. The acceleration was pretty impressive although there are faster production cars and the power came on like a rocket when the back two barrels of the rochester quadrajet spread bore four barrel opened up. I miss that old goat but am happily in a relationship with a fastback 68 mustang built around a real 427. They don't make cars like that anymore.
