I went with the Buick. Not that I don't like the Dodge, I just prefer the previous years.

Dodge. Love the loop bumpers and the stripes.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I voted for the Buick.  I like the design of the Dodge but the grill is a turnoff.

Don’t mind either other than a bit too large.

That Buick was a torque monster, and many claim it to be the quickest production car made in 1970. My vote goes to the GS.

I like the Buick's Air of Quiet Authority vs. Dodge's In-Your-Face attitude.

Buick. My uncle had one and it was a screamer. He picked an unappealing (to me anyway) orange color but other than that it was great.

Love both, but I went with the Dodge being the Mopar fan that I am.

Enjoyed this for twenty-two years. With that 455 you could pull a house off its foundation!  My pick today, BUICK
