The makers of the fire-breathing Phoenix T/A that we saw at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas are back with yet another proposal for a Pontiac model based on the latest iteration of Chevy’s Camaro pony car. This time the people over at Trans Am Depot will give birth to a modern day interpretation of Pontiac’s famed 1969 GTO Judge. The tuner named its creation “The GT9 Goat”.
The teaser renderings and photos of the faux-Pontiac reveal a bespoke front end with a split grille and a revised hood with air scoops, while at the back we find new tail lamp and bumper designs as well as a restyled trunk sporting a prominent wing. The characteristic profile side stripes, quad tail pipes and the newly styled alloy wheel options round off the exterior changes. There’s no word yet if there will be any kind of upgrades to the interior and the mechanical hardware of the Camaro.
Trans Am Depot said that the GT9 Goat will be available for order this fall. “The 6T9 Goat concept was created by designer Kevin Morgan to capture the look and feel of the classic '69 GTO Judge,” the company said in a statement. “The 1969 GTO is considered by many to be one of the top ten muscle cars of all time. Available this fall, this modern day version incorporates the look of yesteryear with the modern convenience and technology of today.”

Best looking Camaro-based mod I've seen so far
this one came out much better than the trans-am attempts that have been made, but of course the new camaro is built on the same frame as the discontinued pontiac gto (without the interior space)anyway. the front looks great the rear needs a little reworking but going in the right direction.
p.s. i still would like to see the 1999 pontiac gto judge concept made into reality
WHA!?
Looks much more Firebirdish than GTOish.
Looks more like garbish.
PLEASE...STOP THE INSANITY!!!
kill it with fire
too bad that they stoped the whole mark.. I would realy consider a Pontiac as my car.. maybe im among the few.. but i just like the Pontiac Bonneville
an f body GTO. the world will fall from her axis. GTO = a body not even a special. No Respect.
I flew to Boston for the unveiling. (Watch American Choppers next Monday at 9:00 pm) 90% of the folks thought it was AWESOME. The negative responders here are definently in the minority. Garbish? Never heard that. Mostly I heard, "Where can I get one !"
Guess some folks are just better at calling the game, from the bleachers !
Firebirdish.....No Garbish! LOL on that one.
They should hire a designer over there.
110 years ago Motor Carriage manufacturers were very small companies indeed. What is now a small factory, as whomever made this Judge, may become a major player in 10-20 years. When you buy a car, you are voting with your wallet and affecting what the market shall bare in the future. Let me remind you Rolls Royce built engines, chassis (added tires) but Hooper, Park Ward, French and Italians built the bodies.
enough with the "modern retro" stuff seriously... i love old muscle cars and i like new cars.. but the mustangs, camaros and challengers out currently are embarrassing, people should have learned how cheesy and uncool that gimmick is from epic failures like the "pt cruiser"
i want a fast, rear wheel drive, american made v8 but not a poser mobile for guys who want musclecars but are too dumb to rebuild a real one
This is ugly. And I like Trans-Ams and Firebirds over the Camaro. It has style that will last a year, then it will turn out looking like a SVX (look it up)
i can't belive that guys don't just love this concept car.i have loved the 69 gto since i was a kid riding in one.this car has got the look of the 69 gto with a new vibe and it shoud be produced,i would have to have one right now!i want one
I would love to see this car come out it looks better than the trans am and camaro i would have rather you made this car over the camaro
Where can I buy one who sell those cars they're awesome
Where can I buy one
