Got my wife to take the pictures with her iphone - given my luck with Iphone pictures I am just posting this one picture to see if it works and then will post more
Anyway this car is also shown on the Manitoba Buick Olds Pontiac club website as being a members car
Someone also has a post of this or a very similar car on the Gimli Car Club Facebook site with many more pictures - that is where I come up with the 1 of 10 reference
Images fixed. The forum software doesn't recognize when a photo is sideways, upside down etc. I've contacted admin and they have no plans to fix the issue. Only thing I can suggest is holding the phone upright when taking photos. Carl and I try to fix what we can. It involves saving the photos, loading up graphics software flipping the image to it's proper orientation and uploading the fixed images. Nice car!
Nice car.
I've discovered I can re-orient the images in the phone in my gallery. Go to gallery, click on the photo and click on each little symbol to see what it does, and then when you have it the way you want, click apply.
Hope that helps!
The last of the bombastic muscle-cars. Green was huge around that time. The 455 H.O. was a very muscular, yet livable power plant. BTW, in 1970 it was the only year they produced a GTO Judge in Canada. Of those, they made only ONE L75 455 with high compression. ONE!

I don't judge a man by how far he's fallen, but by how far back he bounces - Patton
I think that is Greg's. I can't recall his last name but if I am right he's had that car since the early 80's or maybe even sooner. He was quite young when he bought it.

never ever hold the camera upright. Always with the power button on the right. especially when taking video, this is how you get the stupid video with the big bars on the side, watch the news you can really tell when people take video with the camera held upright !

True, and I'll add one more tid-bit, 1970 and 1973 are the only years any GTO's were produced in Oshawa, both years in very small batches.

Excellent instructions, Lefty. I cannot stand it when people insist upon taking photos by holding a camera in the vertical position. As you pointed out, one ends up with those ugly black bars on the sides.
Video taken vertically are barely worth watching, especially if one loads them to a USB, DVD, etc.
I talked to the owner at Pony Coral a couple of weeks ago (not Greg, his is a darker green 70 Judge) I don't think it's the real McCoy no Judge badges, no hood tach, wrong mirrors ... He didn't want to pop the hood open for me, he just said it's a 455, no mention of HO.

I think you are right but then of course its not represented as a Judge either, yes it has a spoiler and stripes but after that nothing to identify it as a Judge.
there is a 69 or 70 Judge not more than 10 minutes from my house. Not on the road since 1976. Only driven sparingly one or two winters. Owner started to disassemble it maybe 10 years ago. That's as far as he got. I believe the engine was gone thru at the time. Not for sale. The usual reasons !!
