Roger came to Motor City Steel after having his car in what he called "paint jail" for the past

Listed below is Roger Poirier's story and specs. An excellent read!
My 69 GTO Judge has been with me since the age of 16. I have owned it for over 30 years. I recall seeing this exact car in 6th grade driving down the street I lived on. I fell in love with this particular 69 GTO and actually bought the car of my dreams.
As a kid I could never keep the car in stock condition. The truth is back then the rage was to take anything stock off the car and modify it. Make it faster, cooler. I'm sure you get the idea. Back in 1976 I ordered parts from a friend who worked in the parts department for a local Pontiac dealership. This car has NOS hood, truck, rear quarters, fenders and door skins. You name it I bought it from him.
As of 2006 the car was completed in a pro-touring style. It has today's suspension standards, steering, and braking. The outside of the car is completed in a modern day paint scheme, yet the engine bay looks old school. It has an extensive amount of chrome, and a detailed firewall. However, it still maintains a factory engine look to it. Example: factory looking radiator, factory pulley and factory ram air induction system. Next Page >>>
