Rear Side marker lights on '68 were Pontiac arrowheads, '69 used the GTO Crest

Front side marker for '68 was a wrap around in front valance, '69 had a small circular "bullet" marker. Front turn signals were in front valance and had a "bomb site" cross hair in them.

'68 front grill didn't have a center horizontal bar like the '69

Rear bumper for '68 had tail lights in bumper, '69 had them above the bumper

Trunk lid was different because of tail lights

Hoods and Endura were the same but the '68 had the Pontiac arrowhead on the endura '69 did not.

'68 had the Endura Delete option for GTO to get a chrome front bumper ala the LeMans. Very few of these left the factory but I did see one that was documented at a GTOAA show.

Rally I wheels went away as an option for '69

Exteriors were very similar but beyond that there are many differences. '68 to '69 saw a number of safety changes which is why the dashboard changed. '69 also saw the introduction of the collapsible steering column.

Did you ever see the TV Ad for the '68 GTO with the line of guys in lab coats taking turns whacking the front of a '68 GTO with a crow bar? Very funny!
