Hands down the CAMARO!  This first generation of the car was perfect until ruined in 1970.

To my eyes the Barracuda just doesn't flow smoothly any way I look at it.

Camaro by a country mile. While I admire the Plymouth's Italianate lines the Camaro has the powerful looks and is the real thing.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I went with the Camaro. Now if the Cuda was the fastback edition, it would have gotten my vote.

Camaro. If the comparison was for the 1970 Cuda and the split bumper Z 28, the results would be closer but the Camaro would still win IMO.

While I really like the Barracuda, that Camaro SS396 is at the top of its form. Outstanding!

'69 the only Camaro I really liked.

'69 the Barracuda was really a compact car not a pony car until '70.  In '69 it is a glorified Valiant and actually should be compared to the compact Chevy Nova.

My favorite year of Camaro; it wins easily against the comparatively plain looking Cuda.  Mind you this Cuda coupe trimmed out to a higher level is very nice too.

Well I'm not a magnet for a chickmobile LOL but the Barracuda is my pick. I like the Camaro too but the Barracuda, I've always liked that body style.
