only amongst the uninformed ;)  '71 is obviously the best year, and not just
because i own one..

seriously, for the most part 'which gtv?' is a matter of personal
preference.  imho the '71 provides the best of both worlds - the best
dashboard ever put in a car, the clean grille of the earlier models, the
wonderful 1750 motor, combined with the mechanical upgrades of the later
models, such as hanging brake pedals, electronic fuel cutoff, blah, blah,
blah.  the '69 would take the cake with it's neat seats and gasketed
windshield, but it has the problematic dual booster brake system with floor
mounted pedals that are impossible to get serviced.

to each his own, you really can't go wrong with any model year gtv.
