68 is my 3rd least favorite GTO right behind 73 and 74. Kind of weird as 69 is towards the top of my list, if not on top, and the 68 is very close in style in a lot of ways but in the ways it's not is just way too wrong for me. Have felt this way about 68's since I was about 19.

I owned a '69 and loved it. '68s are nice, but there's just a bit too much "old school" way of doing things vs. the '69 being slightly more modernized that add to making it easier to maintain and the functionality - along with sharing more parts with the '70+ cars. I give the '69 the nod in this particular instance but it's not an easy decision as both do things really well. I prefer the '69 bumper and tail light assembly, but I sure do like the vent windows though... |

Yeah, that's strange.
I wonder how 1968-69 would do compared with 1970? |

Had a 68 GTO, and a couple 69 Leman's. Personaly I like a 69 Lemans with the big ol' chrome nose better then any of the bunch.

68 gets my vote. The grille work is cleaner looking than 69 and I like the taillights better too.

69's look better all around. Better interior, front end and rear end. Pontiac learned what was wrong on the 68's and corrected it with the 69's!

Hands down winner in every respect is a 69 GTO.

Since those 598 are not unique viewers, likely means some of us who have voted returned for an update peek.
Interesting how the percentages have progressed. When I first looked 68 had about two thirds of the votes. Now 69 is ahead by a nose. |

I think goat whore is right . I have a 68 and someday would like a 70 , but really I don't know if I have a favorite anymore . I've even come around to the 73&74 . If I had to pic just one gto , I think I'd have a panic attack !

The only thing I like better about a 69 is the seats. Vent windows rock, especially if you don't have AC. I agree with the above statement, I have checked this thread 5 or 6 times myself.

69 because I have one and that is when the judge came out. Otherwise I would be impartial.

Have to go with the 69 since I own a convertible. Both are great looking cars. I do like the rear lights better on the 69.
When I was at the dream cruise in 2010 Jim Wangers showed me his favorite car - a 69 judge. Does that make it 33 to 32? |

I'm voting for 69 only because I have one, LOL. Kinda like trying to pick your favorite snowflake, they are all beautiful.
