1969 Pontiac GTO

same here. 68 GTO with ram air. bought it in 1976. Vedoro Green with white seats and black dash and carpet.

@@Hobodeluxe960 I love that green

Mine was a 69 in limelight green with black vinyl top. 19 yrs old with enough tickets to lose my license. Had 1 hell of a time with that car !

Idk man a/c is pretty cool. It's hot where I live 😞

The GTO in this video is not Limelight Green. It's Verdado Green. I know. I have a '69 LeMans.

@@jackmehoff4613 Yes. Definitely verdoro green. I briefly had a verdoro green 69 Firebird a few years ago. Limelight is almost like palmetto green from 67 but with less blue hues. Literally like the inside of a lime. It’s a striking color. A friend of mine has a real limelight 69 judge. I always wanted a real 69 RAIV judge. My grandfather special ordered a RAIV back in ‘69. Carousel red, 4spd, console delete, hood tach delete, hideaway headlight delete. RAIVs were some of the baddest muscle cars if you had a good mechanic to tune them. Everyone fawns over the Chrysler Hemis and Stage 1 Buick, but a RAIV was a beast in the right hands.

No. The RAIV cars will have RAM AIR IV nomenclature on the hood scoops and the left side of the trunk above the tail light. The standard Judges all came with RAIII and will just say Ram Air on the scoops. This is likely a base GTO or a LeMans done as a judge clone. It’s a pretty car though. Probably runs every bit as good as a RAIV from the sound of it.

@@DucknCoverin I have respect for well done, "Tribute Cars", gives you a look you may not see. Some cars becoming rare and more valuable.

Good grief! Ram air 4?? Stick to being a hobo! Its a pontiac 400. Its built a bit obviously but if anything (if its a real judge) its a ram air 3!

@@jasonmacneil2256 lighten up dude it's not like the RA4 wasn't an option in 69. Also it's a possibility the old girl had new paint and the old ram air decals hadn't been reapplied. We didn't get a look at the motor and couldn't see if it had the ra4 air cleaner and scoop setup. Also the RA 4 was a Pontiac 400 cid engine, not sure what you meant by pointing that out.

@@DucknCoverin , Good call. No Ram Air or Ram Air IV on the scoops and they never opened the hood so you could see the Ram Air induction system, so looks like a 350 HP clone with a cam and headers.

Hahaha, every third one I see for sale is green. Ok color, but I like the Carosel Red, Cardinal Red (rare) or Orbit Orange.

Well you would lose that bet BADLY. Green was BY FAR the most popular color on ANY muscle car of this era. Whether it was this ugly light green or a darker shade, the greens outsold colors that we would consider "popular" today like black or white or silver by five or six or even TEN to one. I think many people would be shocked to find out that on 1969 Chevelles, the least popular factory paint color was BLACK! Only 7,441 1969 Chevelles and El Caminos were painted black from the factory. Guess what the MOST popular color was? It was the very shade of light green that you see on the GTO in this video...paint code 59 "Frost Green" (it was called "Limelight Green" on the 1969 GTO but it was the exact same color and it was also paint code 59). And guess how many 1969 Chevelles and El Caminos had this paint code 59 Frost Green from the factory? A whopping 81,883 of them! It outsold the second most popular paint color BY 30,000 UNITS!!! That second most popular color was the beautiful LeMans Blue...but guess what the third most popular color was? That's right...Fathom Green, the darker shade of green for 1969...with 41,226 Chevelles and El Caminos painted that color from the factory. And take a guess as to what color my 1969 GTO convertible was from the factory? That's right...paint code 59 "Limelight Green"...the same color as the GTO in this video! It was originally Limelight Green with a white convertible top and black bucket seat interior. The car is now a more modern shade of Corvette blue with the white top and a white bucket seat interior but I bought the car that way. So you are WAAAY off base by guessing that "they didn't make many in green". Literally the exact opposite is true...the VAST MAJORITY of them were either light or dark green from the factory.

@@johnnytyler5685 thankyou for that clarification I would never believed that

@@rrf6747 And just as popular as the green exterior paint were GREEN interiors and GREEN vinyl tops! My dad's first car that he bought brand new in 1971 was a 1971 Monte Carlo. It was Mulsanne blue with blue vinyl top and blue interior (and he still owns it to this day, but I digress). The fact that his first car was a first gen Monte Carlo means he still loves the first gen Montes to this day. There was an auction near his house a few years ago and there was a 1970 Monte Carlo there for sale. The man who owned the home and car had died and his elderly wife was selling off the stuff she didn't want or couldn't use anymore. The car was nothing special other than the fact that it had a perfect original body and a perfect original interior and vinyl top...well, except for the fact that it was advertised as having a "Corvette 350" in it. That really doesn't mean much these days because everybody claims that there 350 is a "Corvette motor". Turns out when we got back to his place with the car and checked the engine pad it actually had an LT1 350 out of a 1970 Corvette in it! So we did get lucky in that regard. Anyway, the entire point of this story is...guess what color this 1970 Monte Carlo was FROM THE FACTORY? It was paint code 10 "Classic White"...but it had a FACTORY GREEN BENCH SEAT INTERIOR AND GREEN VINYL TOP!!!! Yes, someone actually walked into a dealership in 1969 or 1970 and ordered a WHITE 1970 Monte Carlo with a GREEN bench seat interior and GREEN vinyl top!!! It is one of the most disgusting things I have EVER seen, but that is just how ridiculously popular shades of green were in the late 1960's and ESPECIALLY the early 1970's. Because the original vinyl top and interior are in such nice shape, he's probably going to re-paint the car in code 48 Forest Green...because he pretty much has to! Hard to paint the damn thing any other color when the top and interior are GREEN!

@@johnnytyler5685, i’d leave it white. there can’t be too many like it left out here.

Not true the first couple thousand were only Carasol red, after that any color was available. My cousin had a 1969 GTO Judge convertible 1 of a 108 Black 4speed parchment interior. Got it in 1971.

@@craigchristianson5213 Always liked parchment interior. Black Judge's are the sexiest black car ever made.

Those are nice cars too. I did purchase a '70 GTO 400/400, in 1985. A week later I beat a 911 in a street drag race. I paid $1500 for my car and I looked like I was 12 years old at age 17. I shocked myself.
