When I was in HS a man I knew had a ‘71 Ferrari Daytona convertible (Fly Yellow)...
In ‘76 it was stolen in Portland, OR and was missing for three days.
On the third day police caught the guy — the drivers door had a big dent in it but otherwise the vehicle was just fine.
Upon arrest the thief asked: “Hey, who owns this car?”
Police: “We can’t divulge that information.”
Thief: “Well, who ever it is tell ‘em it will do 150 no sweat.”
Growing up, I knew a young man in my school who drove a Corvette that would do 150+.
Time frame? I graduate HS in 1966. He was 3 years ahead of me.
I did not own a car at all then.

Very cool cars. Convertible coupe $706,000. GTS/4 Spyder $1,300,000. I remember Car and Driver saying that while driving one they were challenged by so-called muscle cars which had no chance. Maybe during a Cannonball Run.
