My first real reliable car was a 68 April Gold convertible automatic. It was the world to me and that Pontiac solidified an already strong passion for GTO. Sunday mornings would start early driving to Englishtown Raceway Park. Low 14's were typical with a best of 13.93. Excellent for a pure stock car 35 years ago.

Yeah...I gave this some thought, since I also own a 69, a 68 LeMans and a couple parts cars. Thought this "entitled " me to be able to vote again, for the 68, of course! But then someone that owns 39 parts cars would be able to vote 38 more times to alter the outcome.

As in all things that require a vote, only those that are deceased and/or are from Chicago are voting multiple times.

looks like the voting has stopped, and 1968 is the winner!

Since 1982 the 69 has been more popular then the 68.
Here we have the most popular of the square body style a 65 and the round style, as I call them, the NINETEENSIXTYNINE!
If this wasn't so then tell me why would Albert Drake put those two cars on the cover of his iconic book?

That settles it. Those are definitely, without a doubt the two best MYs. Now I need one of each.

Correct me if I am wrong but they didn't make a Judge in 68. The Judge is an option on a GTO. One more reason 69's are superior.
