Well that is a tough choice!! Caddies are always available! Old camaros are not!! I know what you are going through ..... I have a 93 hawk and a nice trans am!! I bought a vette just to have luxury vehicle because there are some places you need a higher end car....

I'd get a G8 GXP over all of them in your situation, cuz you already have the perfect classic, and I think the GXP are BAD *** but thats just my 2 cents.

James If u pass on the 69' let me know but a 69' would look awesome next to your 67'. If you get the 69' it will turn into a project and the CTS-V will be ready to DD. If your planning on getting a pad then go with the V. Goodluck!
