Plymouth, '71 the only year I liked the Cuda.
Buick, one of their nicer looking.
Ford, just don't care for the Mustang after '70.
I am not fond of pony cars but do like at least one of each:
'70 AMC AMX
'69 Camaro RS SS
'70 Challenger T/A
'68 Cougar GT-E
'71 Cuda 440- 6
'69 Mustang Boss 429
'77 Trans Am 6.6

I went with the reverse order, Boss, GS, 'Cuda.
I had a '70 GS 455 for 22 years, and the one pictured is actually a '70. It had a unique grill, while the '71 GS used the same grill as the Skylark. '71 GS:

Oh my John, you are truly the master of this "which craft"!
Leaving and ties or associations with any car brand behind, I'm going on my perceived 'looks' of each car.
That Hemi Cuda is Killer Kool. Then the 'Stang, then Buick.

Buick, Plymouth, ford.
I like the shape of the Buick, I sorta like the Plymouth but not enough to place it at number one. I like earlier Barracudas more. Same with the Ford. Mustangs got to big. I like the shorter earlier models.

Plymouth Barracuda, Ford Mustang, then the Buick GS. Not my favourite year but I would love a fresh drive in any.

I voted Buick. My uncle had a GS 455 and it was a screamer. I had a '73 Mustang which was pretty quick with a 351 but build-quality was NOT a feature......most problematic car I ever owned.

For size and interior space + appointments, the Buick is much more my kinda car than the other two. Of the other two, absolutely the 'Cuda.
