One of my favorite midsize Mopars. Looks as good today as it did 50 years ago! A very successful "refresh" of the '68/'69 body style.

Chevelle because I recall its reviews to claim it was the best. I actually prefer the style of the Plymouth, but the Chevy even looks better made.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Like both but the nod goes to the Chevy for build quality.

All though the '70 Chevelle is the Chevelle I like most; the '70 is my favorite mid-size Plymouth which I much prefer to the Chevy.  Plymouth please.

Mopar for me.  I always thought that those Chevies (68-70+) were bulbous and heavy looking.  I for one, didn't like them at all.

If I'd have had my choice of these two back in 1970 when they were NEW, I'd have taken the Plymouth.  But TODAY if given the choice, I want the CHEVELLE!

Chevelle by a nose for styling and build quality.  Love them both though.

The Plymouth just for looks, one of the best looking Mopars of the era. Its shape said "I'm Lightwieght and Fast". The Chevy's said "I'm Bulky". I really know nothing about the quality of either car. or which could out perform the other
