Default Re: 65 not 64 GTO convertible

supergonzo, great post! However, I have to disagree on the worth of 69 Judges over 70 Judges. The 70 Judges always seem to pull more money than the 69's, espeically within the Pontiac collector world. Both years are expensive as hell, but Pontiac people have frequently voted the 1970 GTO as the second most attractive year, followed (usually) by the 66/67 models. Personally, I love both the 69 and 70 Judge models, but the 70 Judges seemed to peak in that over-the-top styling year for Musclecars. The flat rear wing, reflective side stripes, front spoiler, and some great looking exhaust tips.

On the front end styling of the 70 GTO, I've always heard the opposite! Most people do not care for the 69 GTO grille. The 68's were blacked out, the 69's were silver/gray (black on Judges) and used a horizontal bar. The 70's GTO's had the deep set, blacked out grilles and "frenched in" headlights. Many Pontiac people feel the 1970 GTO front end styling was the most beautiful of the bunch, and the Endura nose bumperless look was even more stunning when each headlight sat in their own "pocket", like a 70 Chevelle SS.
