GMP – 1/18 Scale – 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge Diecast Model Replica

“The Judge” was a GTO option, starting in 1969. The name was derived from a skit on the Laugh-In TV program (“Here come da judge, here come da judge, order in da courtroom…”). For a measly $332 bucks, you got a wing, special wheels, a stripe and decal package, a Ram Air III 400 engine, a Hurst-controlled three speed manual transmission and a heavy duty suspension. For another 63 clams, you could order a hood-mounted tachometer. Besides that option, other than badge updates, the ‘69 GTO body was the same as on the ‘68. In 1970, the GTO got a major facelift. The quad headlights were moved outside the grill surround, and the entire front end was “frenched-in.” It didn’t go over too well with the buying public, so the front end was redesigned again for 1971. The nose was elongated. They put a crease in the hood, raised it a little to separate it from the fenders, and moved the functional ram-air scoops to the front edge. “The Judge” option was dropped in 1972.
