Pontiac. I like its nose and fender flares.
I'll join the thank you chorus for John!

They are quite similar but I slightly prefer the lines of the Pontiac. Specific motor choices might alter my opinion. Thanks John.

I like them both but prefer the nose, tail end and spoiler design and decals of the Buick.

Thanks, gents. I saw the photo and immediately thought of John B. I certainly lack his gift for making these decisions a challenge. But sometimes things just show up right in front of you!
For this, I have to go with the Buick. The 455 in the Buick generated 510 lbs/ft of torque and was one of the great unsung heroes of the muscle wars.

Man, when I read some of the posts with reasons given for "which car" some choose, I realize how different I am. Perhaps I'm an oddity for a guy when it comes to cars, because I've never in my life given thought to the horse power, torque, how fast it will go, how much noise it makes or anything else.
I'm all about how the car looks inside and out. If I like those things, it's a favorite car. For todays "Which One?" it's a TIE. I've always been gaga for both cars and would love to have either or both in my driveway anytime.
And with due respect to all of you who choose one car over another because of the engine etc., my apologies to you, because I only care that it has an engine. I want my cars to be comfortable and easy to drive.
But most important to me, it's how they look to my eyes that matters! I've never bought a car to impress someone else or to boast of its get-up-and-go from the stop-light. As I said, I'm odd for a guy.

@georgeschire Great Sentiments George. I have to agree, when I look at the photos for comparison, I too am only looking at the body and not what else the car has to offer. Since the photo we are looking does not show engines, or interiors I always thought that the photo is a comparison of just which body looks better.

We're on the same page. LOL, and if someone started sharing a "Which One?" each day of just engines, I wouldn't bother to play along. I see nothing interesting whatsoever about an engine. But hey, that's just me.

For me it was the '65 - '67 Pontiac I loved and the '64 - '65 Buick. Other than those I don't care for either make.
Today the Buick looks better in the pictures.

@brush I’m sitting on the fence big time, having owned a ‘70 LeMans Sport 400, I’m familiar with the GOAT’s main traits. It was an outstanding automobile in all categories for the time. As much as I liked that car, I never really cared for the added graphics on the Judge. I think the GSX looks totally badass with its sharper lines and much more tasteful graphics. I am an engine guy, and the standard 350/510 455 would be loads of tire shredding fun. The rarity factor is a bonus too, less than 700 were made! Being a life-long Pontiac guy I’d feel like a traitor if I didn’t call a tie. Thanks for the brain-strain John!
