Shimmy in the 60-75 range is a classic wheel balance symptom for these cars, and it is usually more pronounced when letting off the throttle. Easiest way to test is swap the front tires to the rear and vice-versa, or just take them in for balancing (e.g. if you have free balancing with your tire purchase package).
