I'm starting this list on a vintage exotic high note. Parked in Lot 663, there will be a 1982 Ferrari 400I 2+2 GT. Pininfarina coachwork, 4.8 Liter V12 engine, and it's one of 883 produced.
A few lots away at Lot 670, you can find a 1970 Volkswagen Bus Custom Beach Bus. 1970 Hawaiian style customized beach cruiser that is licensed for the street as well. It has custom seating for seven, full cage and custom stereo. This is a one of a kind custom bus. And yes, I would honestly drive this... in Venice, California.
Another cute car, a 1969 Goggomobil TS-250 Coupe is parked in Lot 675. 2 cylinder gasoline engine, 48 mpg, 0-60mph in 26 seconds. Amazing room for two adults and two small children. Rack and pinon steering. Fully restored. And since we're being honest, I would drive this... but not with two small kids in the car.
Located in Lot 686, you will definitely find a 2003 Nissan 350Z with the VIN of #0001, which makes it the first production 350Z made. Just over 250 actual miles, 3.5 liter V6, 260hp, 6 speed transmission, power windows, power locks, track package and much more.

Laser straight bodywork and excellent Ferrari red paint. 770hp (YES!!!!) fuel injected engine, stall converter, automatic transmission and Foose wheels. From the Michael Jenkins Collection. I'm just thinking about all the trouble I would get into owning a Dodge Challenger like this one.
