This 1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge" wasn't optioned with the hood tach, and it wasn't

added during the restoration. The functional Ram Air hood was standard, however.

bought new. Cook well remembers the

car that Jordan bought new, but they

didn't marry until the car was consid-

ered collectable.
