No. The 2 42 tells you - Pontiac, GTO but you will need to get a copy of the build sheet for further information.
Check the VIN #. "242" is the GTO number.
Each individual vehicle has its own individual vin number, which if you understand how to read them can tell you such things as when & where it was built, the paint code, and specifics about the car itself.
HOW CAN I TELL IF A GTO IS A JUDGE
not as far as I know.
SERIAL # IS 242379A128266 IS IT A JUDGE
242 is the first three digits in the vin number of a gto built between 1966-1971. 2=pontiac motor division 42= gto. A more indepth look at what the vin numbers mean can be found at http://www.gtoalley.com/gtovin.html
If the car is in great shape and all numbers matching then yes it is as the judge is the king of the GTO's.
pontiac made the GTO the year of the car started in 1968. i would recomend the 1969 GTO judge
a 1969 gto judge.
If you are talking about a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge, then a 1969 Pontiac Tempest/LeMans or even "regular" GTO can be modifed to look like a GTO Judge and for alot less money. Many people have done this and the cars are known as tribute or clone cars.
Go to: http://www.phs-online.com/services.htm For a nominal fee of about $50 they can send you all the build information about your exact car, you just have to send them the vin number. Pontiac Historical Society has the original GM records for almost all Pontiacs Produced after about 1960.
A Pontiac GTO Judge can be purchased at car dealerships that sell Pontiac vehicles. Or, one can look at the classified sections of newspapers or on Craigslist for used ones.
