<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: tom406</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I completely agree with Don's assessment of '68's being the unloved years of GM musclecars. If you compare to '67's and '69's, Vettes, Chevelles, Camaros (esp Z28s), GTO's, Firebirds, etc, they're almost always a harder, and ultimately cheaper, sell. I think its a combination of evolutionary styling really getting &quot;nailed&quot; in '69 for many of these cars, and the colors offered. I strongly prefer the GM colors offered in '67 and '69 over those offered in '68. </div></div>

Comparing a '67 with a '68 is not a good comparison because it's a different generation that has different appeal in the market.

I may be a newbie here but I agree with Don's statements about the 68 model year being a bastard child for most muscle cars. I don't know why but they seem to be.

I found a couple 69 GTO drivers for you to look at that compare favorably if not better than the white '68 GTO you have been looking at.

For $24,500 you can buy a real PHS documented '69 Judge

For $22,000 you can get a super nice '69 GTO that was owned by the same guy for 30 years.

Neither of these cars are mine however I feel they both appear to be excellent candidates for you. Green isn't so bad when the paint is new.

I have a 68 HO GTO and had a 68 RS/SS 396... but I too refer to 68's as the Bastard Child! A 68 Yenko or a 68 L89...
