For a long time I had trouble identifying the year of GTOs newer than 1967. I hope this page will spare others the embarrassment of not knowing a '68 from a '69. Be sure to maximize the size of your web broswer window so you can compare the pics more easily.

1969. Hidden headlights were a popular option on the '68 and '69. The '69 grille has a horizontal chrome strip in the center of the grille.
