I really don't think they were trying to copy the 67-8 or 9, but give it that flavor sorta. I like it, its kinda there in style and I am a GM guy so thats what I have to go for, Besides I have owend 23 or so 67-71's and I know that this will be a way better car than any of the old ones ( I am sure to get flamed for that) but as a daily driver I am sure it will be better. Besides what else is there in a coupe these days?
