Background
Pontiac updated the GTO's styling for 1970, giving it a new Endura nose with exposed headlamps, bodyside creases, and a revised rear bumper. Few muscle cars made a bolder visual statement than the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. Graphics and wings were wilder for '70. "The Judge" decals returned, multihued stripes appeared over the bodyside creases, and the 60-inch rear wing now stood high and proud on the tail. "The Judge," observed Road Test magazine, "is not for people who are shy about being looked at."
But there was no shortage of substance here. The 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was all about unbridled muscle car performance. The Ram Air III brought 10.5:1 compression and produced 366hp at 5,100 RPM. The M20 had wide-ratios, while the M21 was a close-ratio. All of these manual transmissions were attached to 10.4-inch-diameter clutch discs in 400-inch engines. All four-speed Judges got a Hurst T-handle shifter. The 400-cid V-8 came with functional hood scoops (an underdash knob controlled air flow).
Although cornering was never The Judge's strongest trait, it became much more fun in 1970 due to some important suspension modifications. A .875-inch anti-roll bar was fitted in the rear for the first time, and the front bar was enlarged to 1.125 inches in diameter. These bars were coupled with stronger lower rear control arms for 400-cu.in. cars, and those with four-speed manuals gained extra frame reinforcement brackets. Revised springs, and revised shock valving including the introduction of variable-ratio power steering also improved response.
Because The Judge was the top-level GTO, it was fitted with expanded vinyl Morrokide buckets with "comfort weave" inserts, standard headrests, a center console and a dashboard trimmed in woodgrain and engine-turned metal.
Only 3,797 copies of the Judge were sold in 1970. But for extroverts, limited-production car collectors, speed freaks and fans of late Sixties pop culture, the wildest GTO of all is tops. Sporty young and young-at-heart drivers will feel right at home behind the wheel of The Judge. More than 40 years ago, in an attempt to recapture some of the sales they lost to the saturated muscle car market, the Pontiac Motor Division gave the GTO a similar treatment, and The Judge was born and continues it’s iconic status in the muscle car era.

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
