Pontiac. The Charger was losing its looks.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
The Charger wasn't as handsome as it was in '68 but the GTO was more homely in '70 than it was in '64 - '67. Charger by tissue-thin margin.
Great comparison John. Wouldn’t mind having either one, but slight edge to the Charger. The GTO didn’t need the silly Judge graphics. ✌️

Interesting pairing. I very much like both but prefer the GTO slightly. Would take, either as a driver.
Charger! I have always thought that the mid-size Mopar "refresh" for '70 improved upon an already beautiful design.

Charger for me as well. Not to say the GTO was not nice, I would not mind either, but if I had to pick it would be the Charger.
I can't type GTO fast enough!!! General Motors was running on overdrive with their '69, '70, and '71 Muscle Pontiac's, Oldsmobile's, and Buick's. All three cars for those years were totally knocked out of the ballpark with looks. While over at Chrysler, their Muscle Dodge's and Plymouth's were big and bulbous in comparison. And what's up with the Chargers grill? Sorry, the "no-headlight" look loses me.

Charger for sure. '68 to '70 Chargers can't be beat.
GTO '65 to '67 great, all GM mid-size '68 up styling looked terrible to my eyes, while Dodge and Plymouth looked great to me.
Both of these cars were better looking in earlier years. I give the GTO the nod by a slim margin.
Agree with Jack that earlier years were better for both these cars. I would still lean slightly towards the Charger for the overall body style.

Charger for me too. I prefer its roofline, body style and interior.
