In the hierarchy of factory muscle, nothing is better than a convertible with the highest-output engine. With the introduction of the high-profile GTO Judge in 1969, some felt the job was done. Although hesitant to continue The Judge due to the higher than expected production costs, the decision was made that there was still some value left in continuing what they had started.
By 1970, the writing was on the wall for muscle cars. Strict insurance regulations meant the key market the manufacturers were aiming for might be having a hard time paying the price.
For 1970, the Judge was offered as a hardtop and for the first time, a convertible. Among the long list of available options were several Ram Air engines. Being considerably heavier, hot rodder's rarely opted for a top that would go down no matter what brand they preferred.
This Cardinal Red-over-red GTO Judge convertible has Pontiac's highest-output offering for 1970, the coveted Ram Air IV, backed by a four-speed manual transmission. It is believed that only six Judge convertibles were built with this combination, and this is the only known example built in this eye-catching color combination. Additional options include an 8-track stereo, bucket seats with center console, Power-flow ventilation, the gauge package and more.
