Default Shocks for '65 Fastback

My '65 Fastback is getting bouncy. Any ideas for shock replacements for street driving?

Only shocks for me are Koni's.
I had them on my '67 coupe as a teen and I loved the ride and handling, a set will be going on our '65 coupe.

We put Koni's on my 66 a few years ago and I really like them. They also have the advantage of being period correct if that's something you're looking for.

I did KYB's up front and a good set of nice riding Monroes in the back.

Koni and kyb are both good shocks just depends on how you want it to ride.

I have KYB gas adjust on mine. The work well, but are a bit on the stiff side. When I replace them,it'll probably be Koni shocks.
