Like both but in this head-to-head, I'll take Plymouth for the win today John!

2 great models, and very close on my decision today. I will choose the GTX.

I like both of these cars very much but give the nod by a slim margin to the more aggressive looking Plymouth, with its deep Mopar rumble.

Immediate response without any thinking about it...PLYMOUTH!

Plymouth by miles. While I like both cars a lot and drove both cars back in the day the MOPAR is far superior in every way I could judge a car. For a week back in 1967 I drove a friends [we both just got out of the Army and lived 250 miles apart, Green, N.Y. to Shelton, Conn.] new '67 Fairlane 500 with a 390 4 speed and I had bought a '66 Coronet 440 with a 383 4 speed. Both very similar to today's cars in the poll. Both cars pure factory stock the Dodge won every 1/4 mile run [4 or 5]with us swamping cars and the Dodge won every time by a hair to a couple of car lengths [on the street]. The Dodge was more comfortable, roomier, better fit & finish, road better, and handled better. Dodge is a couple of hundred pounds heaver and 2+- inches longer than the Plymouth basically same same. Would enjoy having either one of them today.
'65 to '70 great years for all mid-size cars. I never went back to liking full-size cars.

Plymouth, easily. I absolutely love this styling generation of mid-size Mopars.

I neglected to mention that the Plymouth interior is a bit nicer IMHO.

I picked the Fairlane. I've always loved the bodystyle. And if it's a 427 model, all the better.😊

Plymouth is very nice but I slightly prefer the lines of the Fairlane. Nice model Geno.
