Everyone Moved to Mid-Size in 1966 and Left the Ford Galaxie Behind — the Fastback Body and a 352 Make That Look Like the Wrong Decision.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to go about finding this 70 Chevelle. I built it in the 90's and gave it to my son for his 16th birthday. Long story short I sold it in 2002 to a man that lives in or around Lincoln Nebraska.
VIN 136370A104330

Thank you for any help you can give me. I'm getting old and need to see if I can make a wrong right with my son before it's too late. We haven't spoken to each other in 15 years. Again thank you very much 💯🇺🇸🥃

1970 Pontiac GTO Judge Ram Air IV

Introduced partway through the 1969 model year, the Judge was a $337 package over the base GTO ($3,267 for the hardtop coupe, $3,492 for the convertible). It bundled a Ram Air 400, rear deck spoiler, Rally II wheels on raised-letter rubber, and tri-color graphics running the full body length.

For 1970, the formula returned alongside a mid-year addition: the 455 cubic-inch V-8, made available when GM lifted its displacement restriction on A-body cars, rated at 360 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. The 455 suited heavily optioned, air-conditioned cars; buyers after outright output stayed with the Ram Air IV.

That engine (a 400 CI V-8 with round-port cylinder heads, a high-lift camshaft, aluminum intake manifold, and a sealed air cleaner ducted through the functional hood scoops) carried over from 1969 with minor casting revisions, rated at 370 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque.

Of 40,149 GTOs built for 1970, 3,797 were Judges: 3,629 hardtop coupes and 168 convertibles. Roughly 10 percent of all Judges (about 370 units across both body styles) received the Ram Air IV. Of the 168 convertibles, 17 had it. The Judge package was discontinued after 1971; the convertible body style was offered in 1969 and 1970 only.
