The 1968 GTO is my favorite of the 68 and 69. Not only was it my first car, it was the first year of the new body style and was Motor Trend Car of the Year.

The '68 was the first car to incorporate a colored bumper that was an extension of the body of the car itself. All cars today do not have a bolt on chrome bumper and the '68 GTO was the first car ever to start this trend that is now standard on the industry with regards to styling.

Yes, improvements to under the hood things were made in '69, but the '68 grill work, interior work and the rear bumper looked better in '68 and were not improved for '69.

No offense to the '69 owners, but '68 is the best year of all GTOs. Have owned mine for 45 years and have no plans to ever sell it.
