Paul,
The "Wheels and Windmills" Car Show is held a week after the Laguna Seca historic weekend so next year you can pop in and take a look as you head down to LAX. (How's that for a plan. You would enjoy meeting some of these folk. I will even buy you lunch.)
They have all sorts of vehicles, such as my friend's 1951 "Baldwin Special" that his father raced and he has beautifully restored it.
But as you can see it can not be touched !

This great Pontiac behemoth 2+2 was sold back in the days when gas was 35 cents a gal.
It only has 45 miles on the odometer !
