Just for fun I looked at the difference between Judges and non Judges in terms of option count and total cost:

Judges had on average 10.8 options (including the judge option itself) but this includes the pattern judges that averaged 11.9 options (Judges that were not pattern had 10.4 options including the Judge option).
Non Judges averaged 13.8 options or three and a half more options than judges that weren't factory forced with 12 options), that is a 31% difference, or 47% if you discount the judge option itself.

Cost-wise things are quite interesting... non Judges retailed (not including shipping costs) for $4,211 on average, Judges averaged $4,197 (Pattern cars at $4,269 and non pattern at $4,176). If you deduct the $337 of the judge option itself it is interesting to see that Judge buyers (and or the dealers) ordered their cars with $350 less of other options than non GTO's in order to stay in that low $4,000's price range. This is indicative that the median market acceptance for a muscle car like the GTO in 69 was not very elastic. The typical GTO buyer just wasn't going to spend hundreds more on a Judge than a regular GTO buyer but was willing to give up some other niceties in order to get the extra performance look and feel of a judge.
