What he is saying is re manufacture the 1967 GTO with modern technology. That is a good idea. I would buy one. Front wheel drive egg shaped cars suck.

If you did that, it wouldn’t be a 1967 GTO. I’ve driven a 1968 GTO that someone did an LSx swap in and installed modern brakes with a Hotchkiss suspension. Yeah, sure, it improved some with all the modern tech - but the car was still pretty bad by modern standards. In fact, the modern powertrain pretty much overwhelmed the chassis.

I would also remind you that several attempts have been made to ‘bring back’ older musclecar (and other) designs in modern incarnations and most failed to sell.

Classic look with modern technology.

I would like to see the CJ style come back. Again with modern insides.
