My parents’ friends had one. I was unimpressed with it other than in a straight line and even then it wasn’t that great by modern standards. For about the price of the average family sedan today you can get a sedan that’s just as fast if not faster, safer, actually stops and goes around corners and actually gets more than 12mpg. :P

I wonder how many of today’s cars would be considered classics and collectibles 50 years from now.......

Nah, the '69 was much better looking:

Seriously, the CAFE limits need to go the way of the dinosaur. Technology is allowing the car companies to make substantial improvements without government mandates, and competition forces the best to market (if the gov't stays out of the marketplace. My 2015 Impala with a V-6 goes 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, and does a 1/4 mile in 14.7 at 97 mph. Compare that to my '69 GTO at 7.3 seconds, and 15.7 at 88 mph. Plus the Impala handles better, gets twice the mileage, has zinc-coated steel that won't rust, a MUCH better sound system and Bluetooth. Yeah, it sounds like a [insert female body part] until about 4,500 RPM, but it PERFORMS. Today's V-8s are WAY better than anything that could be touched back in the late-60s and early-70s. Let them continue to be produced.
