So who was the creative genius behind the 74 GTO...or do you consider that to be a "classic"...imagine if the GTO wasn't killed off back then and kept evolving along the the lines of the 74 model until the present day?
When you consider that, the 2004 model doesn't seem so bad after all.

No, I don't consider the 74 a "classic". I think '70 was the last good year for the GTO and only with the Endura Bumper option. I had a 66, 68, 70. Although your comparison with 74 & 04 is a good one: GM taking an ugly car, slapping a GTO badge on it and trying to market it as a GTO. History repeats itself.
