Working overtime on a real puzzler John!! Ya done GOOD son!

Maybe the toughest one yet for me. Different year's I may go a different way but for the '70 year I'm going Plymouth.

Not taking into account the color or vinyl roofs, or the black body markings, I LOVE the Plymouth's integral bumper/headlight surround instead of Dodge's separate pieces. I also think the canards/winglets are cool on the Cuda.

I have to go Dodge in this very close call. Part of my reasoning is based on history. When the 1970 Challenger was introduced, I thought it was of the most beautiful designs I has ever seen and I still do today. Perhaps it distorted my thinking but everything I saw after that was in second place in my mind including this very nice Plymouth.

The Plymouth looks better to me, and it's smaller too.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Beauties both, but the bigger, bolder Challenger wins for me!

I find both of these quite attractive. While I have only driven the Challenger, I suspect both perform very much the same, spritely and with panache.

Challenger for me.  That is why I drive a 2019 today.

Challenger in '70, Cuda in '71.  My favorite of all pony cars, the Challenger T/A

Of the two body styles offered for comparison today I give the nod to the Challenger by a nose.  I prefer its grille, tail end and slightly less spartan interior.  I LOVE both cars though.

Tough one for me today.  I've been Ga-Ga over both the 'Cuda and Challenger since day one.  I voted TIE!

Very close, but I like the Challenger grille and taillights a little better.

I've liked both since '70 but the Plymouth has always been my favorite. To me, its styling is still fresh, vibrant and handsome today. I'm kind of a Ford guy... But I think the '70 Mustang is a disappointment compared to the '69. And I've always thought the '70 Firebirds and Camaros were works of art from GM also. And I have to say it again but I was lucky enough to have a '70 Trans Am in '74. But the only '70 muscle car that is still DDG in my mind is the 'cuda. 

John, this was a tough one ! 👍
