For 1970 Pontiac gave the GTO a comprehensive redesign refining its proportions and introducing a more aggressive sculpted body style. The Judge package continued to serve as the ultimate expression of Pontiac’s performance engineering blending track-ready power with bold graphics and vibrant colors. Beneath the new lines the GTO carried forward its proven performance formula highlighted by the Ram Air IV 400-cubic-inch V8 producing 370 horsepower. The result was a car that combined advanced performance technology with distinctive presence—one that captured the essence of Pontiac’s engineering leadership at the height of the muscle car era.
The Granada Gold hardtop Judge combines high style with uncompromising performance. Beneath its understated exterior lies Pontiac’s ultimate 400-cubic-inch Ram Air IV engine rated at 370 horsepower. Equipped with a 4-speed close-ratio transmission hood tachometer and 4.30 Posi-traction rear end this example was built for lightweight performance and straight-line speed. Minimal factory options kept the car as light as possible making it an ideal platform for serious racing. Together these two Granada Gold Judges showcase the range of performance personality and craftsmanship that defined Pontiac’s most celebrated muscle car.
