When fans debate about the best muscle cars ever, the Pontiac GTO Judge will absolutely be apart of part of the conversation.

What was the Pontiac GTO Judge famous for?

From bright and eye-catching colors and bold decals to its powerful V-8 engine, this car demanded total respect on the road. The Pontiac GTO line, overall, is often considered to be the original muscle car, with the Judge model debuting in December 1968 in Carousel Red. Other colors were soon made available, including ones considered to be pretty unusual. For people of this era, this clearly wasn’t their grandfather’s car!

The Judge's beginnings were humble. Originally intended to be an economic choice for muscle car lovers and packaged as a $332 option for the GTO, either hardtop or convertible, additional options were available that further ramped up the vehicle and its cost.

Standard features of the Judge package included Rally II wheels without trim rings, a Ram Air III 400-cid V-8 engine, a T-shaped Hurst shifter handle, wider wheels, and an attention-grabbing rear spoiler.

What was the rarest color for a Judge?

Only 618 GTO Judges were painted Orbit Orange, a color that has been described as bright canary yellow. (Yes, that is an orange car that looks yellow. That's GM for you) If you thought the answer to this question might have been Mint Turquoise, then you’re close. That's actually second.. Turquoise was the second rarest color for the 1970 GTOs, overall, with 774 of them built.
