Two barn find 1969 GTOs and one is a JUDGE!

Riding down the road you wouldn’t expect a falling down barn to hide such treasure! Two GTOs and one being a very early 69 JUDGE! The other a very highly optioned 69 auto car. Can’t wait to get started on the next addition to the channels project cars.

Wowee. Great find. My second car was a 69 ram air iv auto car with a hood tach and hideaways. Medium blue. They were pretty fast in those days. My uncle bought a 69 goat new avacado auto. He went on to be the last factory Poncho sponsored funny car World Champion ,ran the Wicked Wanda. He told me Ronnie Sox never did beat him and he don't lie.

[@323Fabrication]

That’s awesome I’m 100% going to put a hood tach on the goat! I love them! First muscle car I ever drove was a 69 firebird conv with a 400/ 4 speed and a hood tach! Man I bet he’s got some awesome stories to tell! I’d love to hear more about it

@@323Fabrication My first car was a 69 SS Chevelle. sigh. Yeah in central NC there was a heck of a bunch of street racing in 70's til about 1980 when emissions and gas and cops and traffic were problems.I could tell stories for days. I got to ride or drive a lot of cool cars. We drag raced every weekend Stratford road Winston-Salem , would roll out on interstate 40 for top end. I remember Lanny Watkins (pro golfer) had a 70 Judge orange was fast. The rich kid was Zach Reynolds(RJ Reynolds grandson)had a fast C2. You can look up my unc Blake Wiggins, he still kickin got a big muscle car collection .I'm 62 now retired, but there's an old LT4 vette in the garage now. Stay safe young man ,good luck with your cool Poncho. PS I still giggle when I hear someone say Pontiac "big block". The Butlers were the best around wrenching on them.

NICE! I have a alpine blue 68 GTO HO 4 speed with Pearlwhite -(parchment) interior. I could use a couple of pieces of the trim off the 68 you have... Wheel opening moldings and lower quarter trim. 69 Judge with white int and AC is pretty rare. Whomever bought the judge needs to makes sure and get the RAM AIR pans and parts as they ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. My buddy has a real 1970 Judge Convertible with 4.33 rear end and M21.

[@323Fabrication]

Sounds like an awesome car! I love a 4 speed car! And I’m not sure I’m going to sell any parts off the 68 yet. It’s in better shape than I thought. And although it’s still pretty rough it could give someone the opportunity to get a gto. The car had a cool aftermarket tach in it. I was cleaning them out today and there will be more videos to come. The man that bought the judge has 11 I believe and 30 something GTOs.

[@TheJagjr4450]

Heck yea! Anytime you can get someone into a vintage car is a good day. I paint/restore vintage cars, mostly paint 63-73 Vettes and 64-72 GM muscle cars.

I had begun acquiring the last I needed back in 2020 and then everything was thrown off when my brother and I bought the only black Corvette LT1 documented to have been built. kzbin.infovideos

Great find! If my 1968 GTO wouldn't have had an easily rebuildable non-original Pontiac 400, I would have definitely considered another power plant. I've already done some other resto-mod stuff like replacing the cast iron intake with something more modern. I'm more of a visual purest. For me, it should look close to original, but I'm not past updating things that will make it more fun to drive. New subscriber and looking forward to seeing you work on this!

Awesome! Thank you for subscribing! I’m hoping to find out how well this 400 grand prix motor runs this weekend. Might leave it in there awhile if it’s decent.

Despite what everybody says about "keeping it all Pontiac" and whatnot, I'm 100% with you on Ls swap. The goat isn't matching numbers already, so it is not that you'll diminish the value. Even if you spend a ton of money to give it a Pontiac drivetrain it'll never be worth the effort, investment-wise. On the other hand, if you want her to be your reliable daily driver go ahead, and go full-on. Actually, those swaps are pretty neat, and nowadays VERY popular. I had a 67 GTO and a 70 RA3 T.A's (both gone) but if I have a non-matching number muscle,restomod is the way I'll go. Reliability is a must these days, and my heart will be lighter knowing that I'm not driving around in a trailer queen or a 5 figure showcar. Keep on going man!
