Wow. As I think back, growing up in the Seattle area, I really wasn't cognizant of any rare cars. I'm sure they were out there, but from my eyes cars were either fast or they were not.
I remember seeing a few Cobras in the late 60s, plenty of Fords, Mopars Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Chevrolets and a few odd AMC fast cars.(Fastest at High School was a 401 dual quad AMX, gold). Most cars were highly modified with big meats, traction bars, carb changes, headers, loud exhaust, air shocks and hood scoops anyway, so the original pedigree would be hard to determine.
The one stock car I remember and wish I had belonged to a guy named Walt Moss. he ran a stock '68 Firebird Convertible, Vedoro green with a black interior, 400/auto. I loved that car.
