The '69 is my favorite year for Chevelle styling; it gets the nod over the nearly equal but comparatively boxy GTX.  I would be very happy to own either of them.

I love the roof of the 70 Chevelle much more than the 69. For 69, I'll take the GTX please John!

@perrone1 I feel the same about the '69 vs. '70 Chevelle roof design Tony.....only the opposite...lol.  I especially like the C pillar of the '69 in blue.  The '70 is my 2nd favorite Chevelle.

The '69 is my favorite year for Chevelle styling; But I love the Plymouth as well, so I went with a tie.

Another head scratcher. My choice would have been easier if the Plymouth were a Road Runner. But the higher trim level of the GTX makes this a decision I need to consider carefully. I'm voting for the Chevelle for that gorgeous roofline and the sonorous 396.

Back in the day I disliked the Chevelle, but in my old age I soften and now like the '69 & '70, but I still like the GTX more. However I still would but the Charger or Coronet R/T, as a matter of fact I did:

69 Coronet RT Brush
69 Charger Brush

Coronet R/T new & Charger SE used, not mine but twins to mine.

I’m a big Chevelle fan, but I never cared for the 68-69 styling. Back in the day a friend of mine bought a new 69 GTX base model, 440-4 bbl automatic in a bronze color with matching interior. In my opinion the performance wasn’t anything to write home about, but I did, and still do really like the styling of Chryslers ‘B’ body cars of that era.
