1969 Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible Ram Air IV

Above and beyond the GTO Judge package was the Ram Air IV. It was the most potent engine option available from Pontiac and was occasionally ordered with the Judge. Naturally, any convertible equipped as such is one of the most desirable and collectible Pontiacs around.
In 1969 a range of engines was available with the GTO, but the Judge option came standard with the Ram Air III package. With 366 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, it was more than enough to compete with the BOSS Mustangs and HEMI Mopars. As a upgraded option, owners could have the even more potent Ram Air IV engine which raised output to 370 horsepower and 445 ft lbs of torque.
The Ram Air IV used new cylinder heads, new rockers, a more radical camshaft and an aluminum intake manifold with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. Air conditioning was deleted and an automatic or manual transmission could be chosen.
