I've always thought the hood tach took distracted from an otherwise perfect hood.

Sounds like the makings of another fine poll.

Me too and driving the car with it drives me crazy. I like the plain and simple scoops no tach.

I love em both, but I prefer the 68 just slightly. I had a Solar red 68 with a 4 speed, that thing was a blast. I don't own any GTO's at this moment, but I do own a 68 Lemans HO with a 3 speed manual trans, posi, buckets.

Looovvveee the hood tach. Its way better than the dash tach or a sun tach "clamped" to the steering column, or a tach on the console. Too bad there was condensation issues back in the day. Not a problem for me these days as it will never be out in the rain.

Going to put one on my '68 firebird convertible.

Bumpy hoods are sexy, hood tach all the way!!

I am surprised the poll is as close as it is. I figured 69 would be way ahead.

I am quite surprised as well.

68's are the new 69's.

I thinking it's about right and can't pick a favorite. I've owned both years and each provides lot's of fun.

I'm also a bit surprised the voting is so close too, barely favoring the '69 at this point at 42 to 39.

I think the '68s were underappreciated for a long time, and that's been turning around recently.

I started a copycat poll regarding the '64 and '65 GTOs. will be interesting to see how that one turns out. The '64s were also underappreciated and have seen a surge in popularity.

i still think 71 are the best...(just kidding....or am i??)

but i like both 68s and 69s..im just more partial to 69s...i personally think its the APEX...they just got it right...they refined the 68 and made the 69s better...but i will say a chrome nosed GTO with a ram air motor and a stick shift does make my shorts tight in the front..i'm just sayin'....

Mark, here are my 71 455 HO 4spd next to my 68 Ram Air 1 at a car show. I like 71's and 68's!!

Here you go Mark....no RA but still...One of my favorite local cars. Factory triple black, Endura Delete car.

My first was a '69 (auto) and since then, I have had two '68s (one four-speed and one 4-speed converted to an auto). '69s were my favorite, now it appears to be the 1968. I wouldn't "step on a '69 to get to a '68" (thanks Tony H.), but I voted '68. I struggled a bit as I vote. As I see it, either way we all win as they were both winners.

[John Eiseman]

Currently have both, a 68 and 69. The 68 convert has lots of nostalgia for me and have owned a few. The 69 is moth balled and far from being a runner/driver. So for now I'll say the 68's, more so for their uniqueness, i.e. wing windows, dash appointments and other irregularities.

[GOAT WHORE]

John, I can't remember, is your 69 RAIII car 4spd or auto?

[John Eiseman]

Its an auto, but have most of the parts needed to make it a 4 or 5 speed.

[Greg Reid]

Wow...it's a dead tie. I have to say that's surprising. I thought it would be a '69 runaway.

It's neck and neck
