"Now, for all those dying to know, I can provide some hard data.  The rear
parcel shelf on a US 1971 GTV is 1.5 inches shorter than the shelf in a 1969
GTV, and the area under the rear seat cushion is longer by the same amount
in the later car.  It makes sense; this woul provide an inch or two more
room for rear passengers.  And it had the advantage, perhaps fortuitous,
perhaps deliberate, of keeping the coupes in the Group 2 Touring Car class,
where they had a long record of victories."

That makes about 8" of usable space versus the old 6.5".
