This may be splitting hairs, but that's what lawyers do, so here goes...

I'd venture that ANY vehicle that is not in the current year of production is a "limited production vehicle." Look at it this way, there will NEVER be another 1983 V6 Berlinetta produced by Chevrolet. Every one of these cars is rare in the sense that the number of original cars will do nothing but decline. Each of these prized and endangered vehicles that remains on the road must be preserved because if it is not, then the vehicles will become extinct.

It doesn't matter that in 1983 you could've ordered 100,000 v6 Berlinettas and Chevrolet would have ponied up and made the factory put them out. Now, in 2007, you couldn't get a brand new 1983 Berlinetta if you were willing to pay $10 Million. The number of original cars produced is "limited" by the fact that it is of a 1983 vintage, on the road in 2007.

Until I see a statutory definition of "limited production vehicle," I'm sticking to this story.
