I think it was to build it as Peter would have if it hadn't had the plug pulled. Remember the originals were built as rebodies for the 289 chassis, the new one has a complete new chassis design which allows the car to be lower and even more aerodynamic than the originals could have been with the limitations that were in place. It is more of an evolution with the "feel" of the original design. I think, IMHO, that if you look at an original and a Brock Coupe next to each other that the Brock Coupe is a much more sleek and supple design.
