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!
|
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

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: |
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

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

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.
