Great comparo! I'll take the Buick. That stage 1 was a torque monster, 510 Lb ft compared to vs 482 for the Hemi.

The BUICK for me too!  I like the Charger, but not a fan of the hidden headlights.

The front end treatment in '70 ruined the look of the Charger for me (68 was best by far) and the Buick is beautiful and powerful; it wins this one.

Buick for me also. That 455 was in our Caprice Wagon and was outstanding in all ways except good fuel mileage. Looks are more conventional for the Buick. There was a time thatI preferred the Charger.

Buick!  Had this GS455 for 22 years, sold in 2017.  It was the most civilized muscle car I've ever driven.  Rode smooth yet cornered flat.  Torque up the wazoo and very easy to break the tires loose.  It had a very cool horseshoe shifter.

I love the '68 to '70 Chargers, the '70 is the one of the three I like the least.  But it looks like I am alone voting for the Charger.  As usual I just don't like the Buick styling.  Most of the time here it is the actual picture people choose from, today it is the unseen drive train seems to be making the choice.  Sorry but I rate them by the make & model of the car pictured not the colors or drive train in the pic.
