Plymouth, although I like the front on the Ford.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I’ve always liked the GTX, one of our neighborhood ruffians had a ‘68 440 Sixpack that was scary fast and scarier squirrely! I don’t think I ever recall seeing a ‘68 Torino with hidden headlights. Aftermarket maybe?

@kevins 

that’s exactly what I was thinking and I absolutely love it. so I’m not sure which car to pick. but I’m gonna have to go with the Plymouth because it is a proven commodity. Now if the Ford were a coupe and had that front end it’d be my choice.

The mid-sized Plymouths for 1968 - 1970 were exceptionally well-styled, and had fantastic powertrains! The "Win-You-Over-Beat" wins today.

I hate to say it, but that's not a stock 1968 Torino GT.  It may be AI enhanced.  Not an attack John, just an observation.

This is what it should look like:

1968 ford torino gt

That said, I vote Torino since I had a 1969 Ranchero.  The GTX looks rather plain.

I like them both.  The grill on the Ford is excellent
