Muscle cars were popularized by Pontiac when they released the GTO in 1963. The GTO is commonly known as the first true muscle car, although some may argue on this. This celebrated model was produced from 1963 to 1974 and again from 2003 to 2006, with five generations under the GTO marque. What we have in store for you is a 1968 Pontiac GTO Judge Tribute Restomod with just 824 miles on the clock after the rebuild and available to be seen in the Silver State, Nevada.
This 1968 Pontiac GTO Judge Tribute has undergone a Restomod to make it a homage to the hallowed ‘Judge’ GTO models of the time. Enhancements include visual and extensive mechanical upgrades. The rear spoiler which came with the Judge package is also available and painted in the body color of red. The iconic “The Judge” decal is situated on the front quarters of the car, with the Pontiac badge on the rear quarters. The car sits on a set of staggered 5-spoke Boss Wheels painted in black over chrome. Red brake calipers are situated behind the wheels. The interior is reported to look like new after the Restomod and is redone in black with carbon fiber trim on the dash. The A/C is still the vintage unit, whereas the dash has been upgraded to a digital cluster. A backup camera is installed with a screen in the cabin. The radio has also been integrated into the dash and has Bluetooth functions. During the Restomod, it is reported that the car was completely rewired. The seller has utilized all available resources to make the car a faithful tribute to the Judge as is evident with the build.

One of the most influential cars of the '60s, the GTO was a slap in the face of corporate America. When General Motors banned their auto divisions from going racing, savvy people like Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean found a way round it. They realized that they could just offer race-ready street-legal machines to customers, who could then, ahem, do as they pleased with them. Enter the GTO, its name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO no less. What better way to enjoy the fruits of their labor than with this first-generation, fully restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that we’ve got for sale right here? Step right up folks, here’s your chance to own an American icon.
The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could duke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.
There are few cars that are as well known as the Pontiac GTO. The first GTO arguably created the muscle car genre, but this, the second generation, helped define the segment for years to come. The 1968 Pontiac GTO won MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Here was a car that packed enormous power into a beautiful bodyshell, and with an affordable price tag. Our featured car mixes things up with a new riff on this classic. Instead of the old-school 6.6-liter V8, you’ll find a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this 1968 Pontiac GTO restoration.

In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
