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.

Hey, thats not a fair fight. That's a 69 judge convertible on the book cover. That would be (arguably) the epitome of 60's muscle against any year GTO
Or model of any muscle car for that matter imo

Well fiddle de Dee, I voted for the 1969 on accident, old eyes! Why wouldn't the 1968 be first in the voting pole? Haha.
I love them both but the '68 front grill and being car of the year and of course me owning one puts it first in my book.
My brother owned a '69 judge convertible before he passed away in 1977 and my oldest brother bought a 1966 Dodge Cornet 500 in bright yellow before he went to Vietnam.
They both passed way to early. I couldn't buy a dodge but as a tribute to both, I painted my '68 Mayfair Maize Yellow.

Look out, you're making a pretty good argument for the 69!

Close! Voting without my glasses, probably happens quite often, in Florida anyway!

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.

Yet another poor argument.

The cover clearly features two quintessential GTOs, which would suggest the '65 (a '64 would be equally proper but, even in 1981, the '65 was becoming everyone's fave) and the Judge, another seminal Goat.

But, all things being equal, we are comparing styling between 1968-69, so the Judge package should be irrelevant to the comparison/poll.

Another poor argument? Only in your eyes my little explorer friend. You must of forgot who authored this thread, that would be me. I put no stipulations on why you liked one or the other better and certainly did not limit it to "all things being equal" or comparing styling only! Of course you are welcome to judge (pun intended) based on options offered for the various years.
Don't make me send Hobi out there to straighten this debate out.

So you make a poor case for the '69, then get upset when I point it out?

You indicate you like to but can't take it.

And the Canadian with a poor grasp of grammar has what to do with this?
