Whats your favorite year GTO poll
 
What is your favorite GTO? If I do this right you should be able to only vote for one year only and the results will be public. Sorry LS guys only "real" GTO's no corporate nonsense!

GOAT WHORE 12-28-2013 11:28 AM

Oops, only 10 options. Looks like the 73-74 guys have to be placed on the outside of the field, again. Oh well, might give them a fighting chance. :D

so does that make 73s and 74s not real GTOs? how about 72s when it was an option on a lemans..as a matter of fact..64s it was an option on a lemans...

so why single them out?

and this is about the 25th poll on who or whats the best...except those worked...

Mark, pretty sure there Is a poll up above and hey you don't have to vote if you don't want too :usa2:

Funny stuff for sure Mark. Computers :censored:
I knew this type of poll had to have been done before but I've never seen on so......
I remember when I was a kid 65 was the heavy favorite and 68 was not so popular. Goes without saying that 73-74 were not even up for consideration. Heck Paul Zazarine's original restoration guide did not even include 71-72 :eek:

marxjunk 12-28-2013 12:10 PM

I remember the 68s as being called parts cars...they where the red head in the room...


i do remeber the 65s always being the most popular...then it went to 67s, then 66s became popular because of the trips......69s have always been hot around here..cant even buy a 70 around here...71s not enough to buy..72s are everywhere around here..and i mean everywhere....a few 74s and hardly any 73s..theres been one for sale here for 3 years...hes dropped so much, now hes trying to trade it off


I like them all, if they are ruff, or are perfect..and somewhere in between...there was a time when 71s and 69s are all i looked at....i had a 65 trips car...never got it done...

Had to vote 66 as it was the very first car I bought and was my daily driver. But that one is long gone and I now I'm fortunate have the 2nd one. 66es are special to me because of the louvered tail lights, and the grills.... like 64, 65, and 67 are one year only. Besides, 66 was the first year for the 'coke bottle' look on a muscle car, and that look was copied by other manufacturers.... so it must have been a good idea. LOL

Voted 66 as well and it too was my first GTO at 19 yrs of age. I don't own a 66 now but still my favorite.

They are all great cars and each year has its strong points. I am blessed to have every year of American GTO and my 66 has been my transportation and daily driver for a few years now but, I really miss driving my '72. '72 has to be the 'best' year (interior, WW5 option, etc, etc ) but, not every ones 'favorite' year. '71-3 had almost no advertising. '65-70 had all of the advertising and that really helped make them legends.
'68s and '69s are way up my list too but, as I said, I like all of the American ones even '74s.

Old Blue 66 12-28-2013 12:45 PM

I voted for 66. Stacked headlight GTO's are my favorite and the 66 just makes everything come together. The taillights are the best of any muscle car from that era.

jmt455 12-28-2013 12:53 PM

I like them all, but the VOE option and the front end styling on the 70 puts it at the top of my list.

goatless 12-28-2013 01:00 PM

The '66 just looks the way a muscle car should look- lean and muscular.
'69 is my second choice.

'64 was too bland. '65 was getting a more aggressive look. '66 got it right. '67 is just a cluttered up '66. '68 looked modern, but still had old style interior. '69 fine-tuned the '68 styling and added a modern interior. '70 seemed a bit bloated- '71 and '72 even more so. '73 was nice enough, but heavy. '74 was just a Nova- Just kidding, seeing who is still reading. ;)

I agree with the 66 tail lights, I believe possibly the best ass end of any car period!
Jmt, I voted for 66 and I own an origional VOE car. :eek: lovey 70 though! One of my favorite years.

I like the '65 because it's leaner and meaner than the later cars, and has the best dash layout, IMO. My first GTO (and car) was a '66 GTO, and I'm partial to '66's as well. The 389, tripower, and the ribbed metal consoles, etc. I also have a '67, and think that it looks great, and actually like the '67's grille better than the '66. Tail lights....about the same. I have a '66 mirror and '66 window cranks installed on my '67, as the plastic '67 items are cheesy and fall apart. '66 also has a much nicer pattern on the bucket seats, IMO. So, I can't decide: I voted for '65, but I like '65,'66, and '67 the best.

Can't vote as it's a tie for me between '69 and '72 with '71 being a close second.

ANDYA 12-28-2013 02:20 PM

I've owned my 70 GTO for 27yrs but my favorite is a 65. Oh well, maybe one day I will be able to get one.
