Planning a new build, 65 GTO or 67 Chevelle, what do you guys think?

[PhillySpeedNYC]

coming from a mostly original background with classic cars my current mustang really made me love this pro touring segment a hell of a lot more than concour original cars which is what I have been accustomed to for the last 25 years.

over the last few months I really came up with a game plan for the next car i do from the ground up.

Engine will be an LS Based motor, probaly an LS7 or LS9 with mild work
Gearbox a TR6060 or I may go automatic not sure

Chassis and Suspension I am dying to use a Roadster SHop full chassis and this is most likely what i will use

Wheels Forgelines or HRE

Brakes Brembo 16 inch up front and 14 in the rear


Now based on coolness factor i don't think i can go wrong with a 65 GTO or a 67 Chevelle. To be honest even though the first Gen Camaros are so overdone i still would love to build a mean black 68 Camaro one day.

I havent seen many GTO Pro Touring builds as Chevy seem to top the category for all resto and pro touring.
I picked the 65 GTO and 67 Chevelle as those are my favorite styles for those models.

What suggestions can some of you guys make? Should I do a coupe or drop top? Are both of these cars similar in size and weight if not which would make a better handling car based in dimensions? I plan on keeping my current car and just want something a bit different now that i can pick and choose how i want it built.

I have been searching hi and low for donor cars of each marque as i want to get building by the end of this summer.
