Same here. At the time we were considering the SHO and Impala SS as well. Would have had one of each of I could have.
My 5 speed '93 SHO was a pretty good sleeper car.
Love F1's as well. Come to think, I like a lot of cars.

I'm gonna say yes. This is in the street in front of the house, and not actually in the driveway.
I had to look it up when I saw it. Yes, I think it was some kind of conversion. It was cool
I have a neighbor down the road that has 2 or 3 Firebirds setting out in front of his house from time to time.
There's a right hand drive Nissan Stagea here in town, I've seen it twice but I could not get my phoooooone out fast enough to snap a pic. Will keep trying though. Of course it doesn't exactly meet the criteria of "cars you don't see anymore", because it never came to the US, but you didn't say "cars you don't see in the US anymore" 
Dang. Going to High School in the mid 70's, I never got to have any cool cars. My older brothers had some great cars though. I still remember walking past a car lot in Roseville, California and seeing my first Super Bird up close. I was probably in Junior High at the time.
Yup , growing up in the 70's and having enough money as a high schooler in the 70's aren't the same .
Here are examples of my 70's muscle cars that I could afford !
I believe this is a '65 Corvair Monza. Kroger parking lot.
Well if driveways count...
Most people period have never seen one of these. I had never seen one in person till I bought it bone stock sight unseen.
My wife and I joke that it was our first major purchase because we went and got it the month before we got married.
For me, asserting my creative stupidity from the beginning of our relationship has really helped her answer her own questions with what's wrong with me from time to time

I followed this thing around for a while. Pretty bad ass.

Similar situation, no opportunity for photos. Earlier this week I had an “on road connection” (the positive kind) with a fella in a RHD Nissan Gloria. I had to look it up to find out what it was.There's a right hand drive Nissan Stagea here in town, I've seen it twice but I could not get my phoooooone out fast enough to snap a pic.

I was 2nd owner of a 1965 Corvair Corsa hardtop in 1966 (my 3rd vehicle sequentially). Fun story about that one; I was prepping that Corsa for slalom events (parking lot pylon racing) and wanted a set of GY Blue Streak tires. Few shops for such specialty racing tires back then, so the closest dealer to my SoCal location was Carrol Shelby's skunkworks. When I got there for installation, I asked permission to look around which was granted. Such a head trip for a young guy to watch brand new Cobra and GT350 cars in various stages of assembly. The following year, I started in as an SCCA turn worker (Riverside's RIR primarily) with my 1st ever brand new car (1968 Camaro SS/RS 350 4-speed), which I worked regularly from 1967 through 1973 during the glory days of TransAm, Can-Am, Motor Trend 500, Rex Mays 300 and scores of regional and national sports car racing. Great memories that can't be replicated now...

Cool Iron Pig .
If that was a long bed, it'd damn near be a twin to the '60 I had (color and all) when I was 16. First drivable vehicle I'd owned. Threw a rod through the side of the block on my way to pick up my first future ex-wife for a big date.
So, Cordoba in the background?
