With the 4rd round pick in the draft, Koenigferrarilamboseggviking, picks in the 60's category, the fantastic Ferrari 275 GTS. By todays standards it isn't very good, but it doesn't matter, just look at it:
What else could you want? A vintage convertible Ferrari, that looks like this. I can't think of anything better.

I will go to the 70's next and select the Dino 246GT/GTS
Quote:
Calls for more power were answered with the 2.4 L (2418 cc) Dino 246. The motor was a 65 degree, dual overhead camshaft, 9.0:1 compression ratio, iron block with alloy heads. The European motor produced 195 bhp (at 7,600 rpm), and was available as a fixed-top GTcoupe or, after 1971, an open SpyderGTS. The American version had an exhaust air-pump, and timing changes which created 175 hp (130 kW). The GT had 3 Weber 40 DCNF/6 or 40 DCNF/7 carburetors.
The 246 Dino GT weighed 2380 pounds. The 246 Dino GTS weighed 2426 pounds. The body was now made of steel to save cost. The 246 Dino had a 2.1-inch (53 mm) longer wheelbase than the 206, at 92.1 inches. The height of the 246 was the same as the 206 at 43.9 inches.
Production numbered 2,487 GTs and 1,274 Spyders, the latter being built from 1972 to 1974 only, for a total production run of 3,761.
The 246 had a top speed of 146 mph (235 km/h).
The Dino's 2.4L V6 found its way into a number of other Italian performance cars after its application in the 246, most notably the Lancia Stratos rally car.
Team Custom Carb is proud to select, with its fourth pick, in the category of European Car
The Audi R8
Is there a more desirable, more attractive car being produced anywhere in the world today? I doubt it. New for 2010 is a 545 bhp V10 version of Audi's Porsche-killer.
SebC selects in the Race Car category, the Porsche 917, which in 917K form set a record for the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1971 that stands today. The 917/30 entered in the 1973 Can-Am series had 1580 horsepower and is the most powerful "sports car racer" ever (I'm assuming that excludes dragsters).
In the 60s category, SebC selects the Ferrari 250 GTO. Le Mans rules were that you had to build 100 cars to enter it, but somehow Ferrari got away with only 39.
With its fifth pick, team Custom Carb is proud to select, in the category of Exotic Car
the Ariel Atom
This British two-seat fun-wagon is designed for one thing and one thing only: awesomeness.
Powered by a supercharged 300hp Honda engine, the 500 bhp/ton power-to-weight ration allows the Atom to turn in insanely quick times on any track you can find, even though its top speed only comes in at around 150 mph.
While it's not the most beautiful car in the world, nor the fastest or most expensive, it just looks like so much crazy fun that team Custom Carb couldn't run the risk of it ending up in someone else's garage.
New for 2010 is an RS version with a 500 horsepower V8 engine, which will give the Atom twice the power-to-weight of the Bugatti Veyron.
for my next pick i will go to the exotic category and select the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina.
There is a great thread on FerrariChat.com about the design and development of this car. Jim Glickenhaus is a very active member on the site and shared it all with the members.. I am a member on the site and it was very cool to follow.
Jim bought the last Enzo and delivered it to Pininferina and the did their magic. You have to love the guy he uses his cars.. This is no garage queen. He has already put 7000 or so miles on the car.
