Not my favourites, but if I has to choose, the Oldsmobile would come first.

I like the looks of the Buick more, but I understand  the 442 was a better beast,

Technically they are both the same car, but with Buick and Olds specific fits.  I went with a tie.  I like them both.

I think you'll find the GSX to have about the same HP as the 442 but a lot more torque.

WOW!  Being honest, I have to say that I don't ever recall hearing anyone say that the GSX or 442 were not a favorite.  They were both Boss cars in the Muscle era.  But to each their own.  Smile

Now this was tough!  I get all ga-ga over both of these cars whenever I see them at car shows.  Of all the Muscle Cars, they are both my favorites.  I mean, I love Challengers and Camaros, and many others, but GM absolutely (in my opinion) nailed what muscle was supposed to be in style and power. 

Now the above said, since I don't like to vote a "Tie", MY VOTE GOES TO OLDSMOBILE!

As usual, I prefer the Buick to its Oldsmobile counterpart.

These two are so close in performance that for me it comes down to looks.  I pick this Olds over this Buick by a nose.  I would love to own either one.

Both look great, but I'll take the 4-4-2. I recall contemporary road reports saying the Olds was the best handling muscle car.

Not fond of GMC products in this period, but prefer the Buick over the Olds [never thought I would say that] and for 1970 I would prefer the Chevelle of the GMC offerings.
