Dodge Charger wins this one hands down.  Pontiac GTO is a strong second and Mercury third.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

The hands down choice for me is the GTO!  I wouldn't have any of them towed from my driveway, but if I can only have one, give me the GTO.

I owned a 68 Charger in 72-75 (similar to above) and it has my vote.  68 GTO is very cool as well and the Merc is no slouch.

Charger, no contest.  To be fair it should have been a Dodge Coronet for the comparison.

@brush, When I hear the name Dodge Coronet, I just can’t help but see a rattletrap taxicab.

I went with a tie.  The late 60's brought great muscle cars for all makers.  These 3 examples show that.
