A great complete build of the car you always wanted to have. That's how you should view this 1969 Pontiac LeMans GTO tribute convertible. With its performance-built 400 V8, The Judge look, droptop appeal, and iconic color combo, you'll soon realize that the affordable price is just the cherry on top of this total package classic. If you like Chevys, you call this paint Hugger Orange; but if you're a Pontiac person, you know this is Carousel Red.... It is one of the most iconic colors from the GM pallet, and it is exactly how you want a tribute to The Judge to look. And while is already a factory Carousel Red car, there has been an investment later in life to give it respray. That way this sunshine-friendly convertible has a nice gloss when the sunlight hits it. But getting a GTO right takes more than just the paint. The stylish and dent-resistant Endura front end was exclusive to the GTO and not shared with any other mid-size Pontiacs in 1969. And this one even has the ultra-desirable hidden headlight upgrade. The Ram Air VI dual hood scoop is another unmistakable icon of this muscle car. Plus, the full-width rear spoiler is a great Judge upgrade. The Judge's stripes not only look awesome against the fiery red, but also the black inner portion coordinates nicely with the black folding roof. And for those who like a little bit of rarity trivia, a LeMans (237) convertible like this is actually rarer than a factory-built GTO convertible. The cool color combo that makes us like the black convertible top look is also the same reason why we love the full black interior. You paid a little bit more for a Pontiac back in the day, and the premium difference can be felt the moment you sit down in the stylish bucket seat. This is a comfortable center console car with bright wood appearance panels used through the center section and dash to add a little extra character to the black inside. It has a very vintage feeling throughout, right down to the AM radio that's still on display. You get a grippy sports steering wheel and upgraded auxiliary gauges cleanly mounted below the dash. There are also provisions for some cool features, like the hood tach. And the Hurst dual-gate shifter is a great reminder that this is a powerful Pontiac. As a proper GTO tribute, there's a big 400 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. It looks great filling out the tidy engine bay with its shiny valve covers, correct turquoise block, and dual-snorkel air topper complete with callouts. But beyond just the looks, this one is a strong performer as it inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor. Plus, headers help add power as they contribute to the ferocious rumble of the H-pipe dual exhaust. The power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, and power brakes w/discs up front makes the coupe good for cruising, and that's exactly what you want. After all, a tribute car Is meant for driving, and this gives an extra feeling of confidence from behind the wheel. Complete with maintenance records, there has been plenty of time, effort, and money that has gone into making this cool convertible a worthy GTO Judge tribute. Call today!!!
