I loved my '67 2000TC. It did handle well, and the monocoque design made the
body incredibly tight and strong. You could slowly push each door closed
with your little finger.
Pretty good power from the 2000cc 4 banger, for a good sized 4 seater. I
loved downshifting on the Interstates to pass.
I miss that car!
