It wasn't a scam, friend of a friend was talking to the guy to go pick it up, but someone else beat him to it. 

Same way this one wasn't a scam as I spoke with the seller via phone, and he even offered facetime. (also in Washington area)

Yeah, I used searchtempest (actually autotempest) and then saved all the searches. Problem with searchtempest is I don't see a way to only show stuff you haven't seen before. The CL alerts send me an email everytime something new is posted

My advice would be to be patient.  I decided on a whim to buy one.  That moment, I started searching and found one on Craigslist 3 hours from me. Rust free 60k mile car. The first one I looked at.  The owner told me he had another guy coming tomorrow to buy it and pay his asking price.  I haven't been in the market for one since 1985 so I didn't know they were collectable cars.  I thought sure there is but I bought it anyway.  But knowing what I know now....

That's true  for what I know of it. I just browse through every so often. I know what's new and what's old

I searched all over the West Coast but didn't really see anything I liked in my price point. I picked mine up from a guy who replied to my wanted ad I placed on craigslist. He didn't have it listed anywhere. I'm in Oregon though so there are quite a few of them around me.

I'd say put out some wanted ads just in case someone stumbles upon it.
