The Charger is beautiful, but the GS Stage 1 was an absolute beast! Some say it was the quickest domestic car made in 1970. That 455 boasted a very conservatively factory-rated 360 HP but a massive 510 lb-ft of torque at an incredibly low 2800 RPMs. They're both really great designs. I vote for the Buick.

I prefer the 1968 Charger so my vote goes to that great Buick.

I voted Dodge despite its design being adulterated. I'm not sure I would vote differently in 10 minutes it's so close.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

@jkuvakas I have to agree with John.  As much of a fan of 70 Mopars, the Buick design just makes it stand out.  As well as the 70 Chevelle if it was included in the choice I would have a hard time deciding.  But the Dodge is very close.

As for me, I'm choosing the aesthetically pleasing Dodge.

I agree with JK's Buick performance comments and find the beautiful, brawny Buick to be the easy winner in 1970.  IMHO the Charger styling was perfect in '68, slightly less so in '69 with the taillight change and spoiled in '70 with the chromed nose surround.

I like the Charger but that Buick is outstanding.

@sizedoesmatter 

It was a great car, lots of torque, and refined driver.  Someone else is enjoying it now. 🙁

Buick for me. The torquemonster was king.

Dodge ruined the Charger with the bumper and tail lights in '70. Though I don't care for Buick's generally this one definitely wins.

My favorite mid-size car the '68 Charger.
