1969 Pontiac GTO The Judge 1/24 Scale Model Kit Build How To Assemble Paint REVELL NEW KIT PREVIEW 85-4530 14530 rmx4530 4530 854530
The Pontiac GTO is a front-engine, rear-drive, two-door, four- or five-passenger automobile manufactured and marketed by the Pontiac division of General Motors over four generations from 1963 until 1974 in the United States - with a fifth generation by GM's Australian subsidiary, Holden, for the 2004 through 2006 model years.
The first generation of the GTO is credited with popularizing the muscle car market segment in the 1960s.[2][3] The Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models.[4][5]
For the 1964 and 1965 model years, the GTO was an optional package on the intermediate-sized Pontiac Lemans. The 1964 GTO vehicle identification number (VIN) started with 22, while the 1965 GTO VIN started with 237. The GTO became a separate model from 1966 to 1971.
The GTO model was revived from 2004 to 2006 model years as a captive import for Pontiac, a left-hand drive version of the Holden Monaro, itself a coupé variant of the Holden Commodore.
The 1969 model eliminated the front door vent windows, had a slight grille and taillight revision, moved the ignition key from the dashboard to the steering column (which locked the steering wheel when the key was removed, a federal requirement installed one year ahead of schedule), and the gauge face was changed from steel blue to black. In addition, the rear quarter-panel mounted side marker lamps changed from a red lens shaped like the Pontiac "arrowhead" emblem to one shaped like the broad GTO badge. Front outboard headrests were made standard equipment on all cars built for 1969.
The previous economy engine and standard 350 hp 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8 engine remained, while the 360 hp (270 kW) "400 H.O." was upgraded to the "400 Ram Air" (though now colloquially referred to as the "Ram Air III", Pontiac never used that designation), rated at 366 hp (273 kW) at 5,100 rpm. The top option was the Ram Air IV rated at 370 hp (375 PS; 276 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 445 lb⋅ft (603 N⋅m) at 3,900 rpm of torque,[17] which featured special header-like high-flow exhaust manifolds, high-flow cylinder heads, a specific high-rise aluminum intake manifold, larger Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor, high-lift/long-duration camshaft. Unlike the highest rpm Chevy big-block and Hemi engines, the Ram Air IV utilized hydraulic lifters.
By this time, the gross power ratings of both Ram Air engines were highly suspect, bearing less relationship to developed power and more to an internal GM policy limiting all cars except the Corvette to no more than one advertised horsepower per 10 lb (4.5 kg) of curb weight. The higher-revving Ram Air IV's advertised power peak was actually listed at 5,000 rpm-100 rpm lower than the less-powerful Ram Air 400.
A new model called "The Judge" was introduced. The name came from a comedy routine, "Here Come de Judge", used repeatedly on the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In TV show. The Judge routine, made popular by comedian Flip Wilson, was borrowed from the act of long-time burlesque entertainer Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham. Advertisements used slogans like "All rise for the Judge" and "The Judge can be bought". As originally conceived, the Judge was to be a low-cost GTO, stripped of features to make it competitive with the Plymouth Road Runner. The package was US$332[18] more expensive than a standard GTO, and included the Ram Air 400 engine, Rally II wheels without trim rings, Hurst shifter (with a unique T-shaped handle), wider tires, various decals, and a rear spoiler. Pontiac claimed that the spoiler had some functional effect at higher speeds, producing a small but measurable downforce, but it was of little value at legal speeds. The Judge was initially offered only in Carousel Red, but midway into the model year, other colors became available.
The GTO was surpassed in sales both by the Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 and the Plymouth Road Runner, but 72,287 were sold during the 1969 model year, with 6,833 of them having the Judge package.

[@TheRealCobraBurnout]

Excellent! I dig the Cobra models too

[@sammarco220]

Amazing work

[@mikesmodels2830]

I've wanted a kit of this car for a while now. Looks nice great decal sheet definitely getting one!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

My favorite GTO is the 1964. I was fresh out of High School, woking at a TEXACO, pumping gas and washing windshields. A friend's older brother bought a GTO and they came by and gave me a RIDE ! ! 1964 GTO. Little GTO - You're really lookin' fine - Three deuces and a four-speed - And a three-eighty-nine...

[@teddyjones8027]

The absolute best film, it's in my top 5 films ever

[@eddielujan3160]

Funny thing that's my favorite GTO JUDGE as well. It's also one of my favorite movies. Loyal Fan Edward Lujan

[@darrylalexander9493]

Revell would love to see a 1972 MonteCarlo

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Another GREAT kit on the "To Get" List!!!!!!👍👍 An Orange Judge has always been my favorite. 🙂

[@charlesmcclure5994]

I love that color on the car Chris it's spot-on 👍👍

[@WhiteGloveModels]

The Buick Skylark was a sweet looking car in that body style! Nice build, and an even cooler kit!

[@coreydewald468]

My favorite GTO has always been the 67s. My dad had one. I have a picture of him working on it with me as a baby hanging out the window. So they've been my favorite before I even knew what they were. Now 30 some years later I have that GTO and it is my <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> scale project.

[@garyphilip3382]

Thanks for all your great videos! The 455 GTO from Two Lane Blacktop was really good too!

[@maryfiltz800]

The Judge - looks terrific. Nice little preview too, thanks.

[@michaelcorman6971]

1969 GTO convertible, I actually own one and I'm very proud of her , and she ain't done.

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Another great build mate👍

[@tonylantzer390]

Can't wait to get my hands on the pro street Lincoln and that Torino! Awesome video and thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@davidbarr49]

Please do an issue of a Continental Mk. V1.

[@woreoutdrummer1861]

I was 7 years old, out in my front yard playing with my Hotwheels cars, when I heard a rumbling noise coming up the street. I turned to see my next door neighbor in a brand new '69 Judge. I was too young to understand exactly what he had but I knew I liked it...a lot! I blame him for my love of late 60's, early 70's muscle. His beautiful car mysteriously burned 6 months later. I'm sure it had nothing to do with insurance, though. 😉

[@icecastle57]

My favorite GTO is the 70 Judge in dark green with the yellow strips!

[@cushingpushing]

Great job, it looks awesome.

[@stanleyrussellsr3981]

I love the GTOs. I owned a 66 and two 69 Judges

[@larrycourt5471]

My dad had a red '65 GTO, so I guess that's my favorite!

[@caminoman66]

For Chris @ Revell, a 58 Ford Ranchero would make my day along with 58 Ford gasser, and maybe even a 58 Ford 2-door wagon

[@davidbarr49]

While we're on 58's, how about a 58 Chevy Apache pickup?

[@mikemurphy8656]

Awesome I love watching your videos 69 GTO judge is my favorite I had one along time ago

[@Mikey-jm3dc]

My favorite gto is the 74, we really could use that in kit form

[@johnodham2535]

Like always you done a real nice job

[@daveelliott6230]

Always loved the GTO Judge. Great name for a muscle car. I liked it so well that when I bought a motorcycle, i bought a Victory Judge. And that logo was on the side. As usual, excellent job on the build!! Thanks Chris

[@calvincooley1074]

Looks great! Thanks for the preview!

[@rogerwachal3718]

I owned a 1969 Pontiac Custom S OHC 6 CYL Tempest, which in my opinion is the brother of the GTO. I wish Revell would make one ,with a OHC 6 CYL,and Custom S OHC 6 CYL Decals and a under the dash air conditioner too

[@davidbarr49]

Also the Firebird with the SOHC 6.

[@rogerwachal3718]

@@davidbarr49 they already have made one. I have 2, 1/24 scale OHC 6CYL engines,and not for sale

That is a sweet looking ride, another great job.

[@colleena755]

Nice kit and great build! Can't wait to get one when it comes out.

[@amandavanderford5502]

Love this new kit I built three of these from the old days

[@Mikey-jm3dc]

2 kits that need to be made are a xj Cherokee there's a lot of variations that can be done. And everyone needs a 67 to 72 chevy gmc truck with modern tooling. Mobius did awesome with the Ford trucks maybe they should take it on.

[@ScaleModelCarBuilder]

My favorite has been a 1969 GTO as my Dad had one from the time I was 4 years old, helped him rebuild the engine and many other tasks growing up. This box art really has me reminiscing cruising on Woodward with my dad in that GTO with the top down slamming gears with the Muncie 4 spd!!

[@Loren-dh6md]

Looks great! Can't wait to get one!

[@TerriandMickBrown]

My father left me his 1969 GTO Convertible. I passed it on to my younger sister when the time came.

[@kennyspaulding796]

This was my favorite GTO ever since 1969. The year it came out. I was in 5th grade at the time, I cut a Pontiac GTO Judge ad out of a magazine at the school library and kept it taped to my closet door. Then 7 years later in 1976 when I got my license I looked high and low, checked news papers, check the Wheels and Deals magazine's just to get my hands on a 69 Judge, No Dice. If they were any good people were hanging on to what they had, or they were trashed, wrecked, or in the junkyard. As a matter of fact Chris, the thumbnail of your video looks a hell of a lot like that ad and had a guy standing next to the car wearing a blue windbreaker.

[@guidorea8347]

I most definitely will go too the Woodward cruise this year....😎👍

[@ronroberts2453]

Really nice build & presentation Chris! Excellence tips on chassis fit!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Monogram GTO s were always great kits....I still have my 90s issues of the 64,67 and 69. Don't remember it having all the detail lol but good to see it back. And I agree that the Pontiac and Buick were always nicer looking, the Olds as well.

[@leterguyschroeder4919]

The original 64 Le Mans GTO, is the best . My buddy owned one, 389, 3 deuces, 4 speed. It passed everything but a gas station...LOL

[@seanh2390]

awesome stuff!

[@scifimodelshop]

Great build the Judge was my GTO car back in the younger had a used one in 1971 then moved over to the Dodge Daytona booth great cars

[@dblducecreations]

Nice work Chris. I like the 1/24 old Monogram kits. Put me down for 2.

[@georgemcdermott7115]

It would be great if revell came out with a 1969 firebird or grand prix to compliment that gto.

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Wow! I built this same kit 25 or 30 years ago and did it the same colors inside and out. I still have it to this day! Great kit! These older 1/24 scale kits are great!

[@saltields7649]

I’d love for Revell to do a model of a ‘90 Chevy S10 Baja.

[@jeffreywaclawski49]

For Cars I prefer 1/2 to 1/24. But I have to say, Revell re-releasing first the The L.A. Street chopper and NOW the Evil Iron ! Can we get the Dragon one and other trike that was only released under Revell Germany !!! Thanks for showing us these kits Chris.

[@13Dixiefried]

I would have to do this one up like the one in Dazed and Confused too! 😂 Or the one from Two lane Blacktop as well!

[@kevinmadmaxfan8132]

Another fantastic build Revell be nice to see some mad max models 😊

[@polishdon7547]

The Lincoln LSC was issued back in the late 1990’s as Hot Rod Lincoln by Revell

[@Nieuport28C]

This '69 GTO really brings back memories. I learned to drive in a Saphire blue "69 GTO with 400ci V8 and a Hurst 4-speed. After I got my license, I drove a '67 Camaro RS in Butternut Yellow with a 327ci V8 and an automatic. Those were the days. Gotta pick one of these up. Great build video, as usual.

[@mjohansen11]

Nice job Chris! I'm a fan of the '69 Judge. " Here come the judge" lol As for Revell USA, can they find the mold for the old Monogram Vanbulance? That'd be cool!

[@teddyjones8027]

The Revell Muscle kit had both 1968 and 1969 front end and rear bumpers, kind of a bummer they didn't keep that option but still love the kit.

[@mitch1048]

Had the real car in high school still have it to this day still all original was bought new love this channel love the kit

[@davidhinkson8856]

Never realized that GTO "Judge" kit had in parts to make the standard version - always liked this particular model but I have never owned it. I'm glad to see the Pro Street Mark VII back; don't think that's been around since the early 1990s and I'd love it if it contains parts to make a stock version of the car. I recall an issue of "Scale Auto" back in 1990 saying you could use the chassis from the stock Thunderbird from the same era for that purpose. The Torino Cobra is one I'd love to attempt - my last Torino Cobra was the old 1969 MPC model which only lasted a week in my collection, and I've never owned a Shelby Cobra kit but I've always admired them.

[@johnclemans7802]

Great Build!! I wish Revell would create a 1967 Shelby GT 500. My favorite GTO is a 1964. Have a great July 4th Holiday and stay safe!🎉🎉

[@liamfirebird6922]

My favorite GTO is the 66 389 tri-power convertible with a 4 speed!

[@danielkemp4801]

Love the video and the review. Also like the G.T.O. , my uncle had one in 1969 , he told me, "GTO stands for gas, tires, and oil, because it ate a 3 items a lot and quickly. Keep up the great work and have a great 4th of July.

[@nicks7768]

You bring up a good point here. Who owns the rights to the 1/25 (stock) 1970 GTO tooling? Is it MPC? Whoever it is, it needs to be re-released.

[@rustyshackleford3978]

They modified the body mold many years ago, turning it into a modified circle track race car. That version can still be found cheap (relatively). Maybe, with encouragement, Round 2 Models will give the '70 GTO the same treatment they've given other old kits by tooling up a new body to combine with existing mold parts to create essentially a new old kit. They did a great job with the '64 Cutlass/442 kits, '68 Coronet, and so on. We need to resurrect the 1970 GTO!

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice looking build. The kit seems together very well, and the low parts count does not take any thing away from the detail. It is definitely a good kit to put in the stash. Thanks for sharing.

[@GnarfletheGarthok309]

Nice build Chris! I love the '69 GTO. My favorite!

[@johnhughes9019]

Another neato Build, *Chris* ! I'm with you regarding the Pontiac & Buick A bodies ; just gorgeous ! When I first built that kit - c.1984 - I was pleasantly surprised at the separate arm rests, brake drum detail, and the correct air cleaner. Those "smokers' windows" are for the (incorrect) 1968 iteration. There are so many other subtle differences between a 1968 and a 1969, that the 'Model 55 A/C' don't make it alone. At least we have that gap delightfully filled by the *Round2* 1968 GTO. Since you enquired to you followers; I'd say that the 1968 & 1970 - 1972 GTO are my favourite. Still waiting for someone to create a 1970 with the Ram Air V with the *VOE* exhaust as an option ( Ram Air V and VOE weren't available together, as the former doesn't create enough vacuum for the VOE due to its radical cam profile ). Additionally, I'm a fan of the Colonnades ( 1973 - 1977 , with the GTO being a 1973 only ). I'm with @danielvoller2254 regarding the *1958* *Fords*, esp. the Ranchero ! Likewise, I'd be keen on a 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Coupe with the SS 396 option ; a 1968 L79 Chevelle 300 Coupe would be quite nice as well.

[@deysonmorken9364]

I cannot wait for the 70' Torino Cobra model!!!! I was looking at the original 2001 release from Revell and I was considering buying it but happened to notice they are re releasing it which will save me 50 bucks! My grandfather has a 70' Torino Cobra in an old aircraft shed in the middle of nowhere in Montana and so I hope to build it to the specifications that he had on his. Please let me know the release date on this model asap because I will be picking up a few of them when they release. Keep up the good work! Still the best modeling channel on KZbin! -Deyson Morken

[@giterdone1994]

We need a 67-68 mustang coupe kit !!!

Dear Revell, I would love and buy the Porsche 914 if you would so kind to create!!!!!

very nice----have to get one----my favorite is the 1967 GTO as I had one back in the day----was one of the first 1967s to come off the line in 1966---had unique color which I think was a 1966 color as a girl friend had a 1966 LeMans the same color and I have never seen a 1967 in that particular color

@Revell USA Mr Chris the Revell guy, here's some suggestions of a few Revell/Monogram kits I'd like to come back... The '78 "Midnight Z" Z/28 Camaro, the 1/12 Ferrari F40, 1/8 Camaro IROC-Z, the 1/8 Harley-Davidson bikes, #6399 Chevy Impala SS, and the 1/16 Swamp Monster/Giant Tracks Chevy Squarebody monster truck duo. I know I'm forgetting some but these were the ones that came out off the top of my head!

[@fullsizecars4174]

1969 Chrysler 300, 1969 Imperial Crown, 1970 Plymouth Fury. I would love to see Revell produce any of these as kits. C-bodies are awesome and get no love!

The Judge is a favorite but my #1 GTO is the ‘66, with the slit tail lights!

Great job again Chris. Love your reviews. If Revell is listening, I hope tgey would come out with a 71 Cuda...it's a no brainer same goes for a 69 Dodge Charger 500, the one that is missing from that great series.

[@richardrodewald152]

Great build and color! Guy in high school had. 66' gto I guess my choice! Rest of us had Chevelle's and novas! Thanks for the video good job!!!

[@tifosiman68]

You can put a generous blob of white wood glue in some water to allow your decals to slide around before you press the water out. I saw a Japanese hobbyist do that on a GT40 build, he had all kinds of time to get his decals in just the right position before burnishing them down. Just submerse your body gently into warm water and brush the glue residue with a soft brush to remove the excess.

[@mathewpenkauskas52]

I have been looking for this model for awhile now !! I have a family friends that drove this car when I was younger and they had the car painted in a "Rootbeer Brown color with a two tone black interiour !! I'm definatly going to find this model locally11
