1969 Pontiac GTO 'Judge' Hardtop

This one-owner car was purchased new at Hetzel Motors in Wellsville, New York in March of 1969. The window sticker was $4,033.86, which included the Judge package of $337.02. That package included a 400 Ram Air III or IV engine, Rally II wheels, ride and handling package, cable-controlled Ram air hood outlet, blacked-out grille, airfoil, identification decals, and vinyl striping. The owner was called to active duty in the Navy four months after purchasing the car and one month after marrying his high school sweetheart. While he served in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, Nancy drove the car to work every day. In the fall of 1974, the car was put into storage in Bolivar, New York. It stayed there until 1986, when the couple moved to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It stayed in storage until 2012, when Bob asked Nancy if she would rather have a new kitchen or 'The Judge' restored. She chose the latter, and in August of 2013, the car began traveling to shows.
