GTX please, like them both, but after driving and riding in both back when they were [new] slightly used, much preferred the ride & handling & size [comfort] of the GTX. The Chevelle did seem faster & pulled a little better.

Richie had the Chevelle SS 396

John had the GTX convertible 440

68 GTX John Sears
69 Chevelle SS 396 Rich Lundgren

Both are exceptionally nice and powerful cars from the muscle car era.

I like both a lot. The Chevelle speaks to me for brute force while the GTX speaks to me for luxury. Today I'm going for luxury. Plymouth.

Tough call, but I'm not going to pass up an SS 454 done up in red with white stripes.

Gents, thanks for your replies.

I love them both very much but the '69 is my fave Chevelle; I just love its styling, which actually makes the awesome GTX look dated IMHO.
