I was in "the sweet spot" during my H.S. years... '66-'69. All the great cars, but they were unobtanium for me.
Fortunately, my best friend's parents put him in a '68 Torino GT Fastback (just a 302 2v), then a '69 Mach 1 (351), so that helped get me through. Lots of dragin' the main on weekends.
The Torino was that nondescript Seafoam Green. A sad color.
The Mach 1 was in Winter Blue... a beauty.
There was a healthy number of screamin' Roadrunners, Chevelles, Camaros, etc. in my small town... mostly guys who had gone directly into a decent-paying job in a textile mill right out of H.S. and still lived with their parents. Two 'Vettes... a '64 convertible owned by a rich kid and a '66 coupe owned by a doctor.
