Younger enthusiasts I do believe knew about the car.. but they couldn't afford it.

It wasn't that it was a good car it just wasn't a big model name with the pubic in general. The people with the money even if they were "enthusiasts" just did not care. Enthusiasts do not get cars made nor sold the general buying public does. It didn't gain it's major rep and mystique until the younger crowd was exposed to it through film and games.
