- Two Subaru Imprezas from the first Gymkhana videos
- Porsche 911 SVRSR "Hoonipigasus" from Pikes Peak
- 1994 Ford Escort RS Cosworth "Cossie V2" rally car
- 1978 Ford Escort, Block's first rally car
Terry L. Karges, executive director of the Petersen Automotive Museum, emphasized Block's transformation of motorsports content and his significant impact on automotive culture and pop culture.
The museum will partner with 43 Institute, a foundation established in Block's memory, to host a special cruise-in event on April 5, following National Ken Block Day on April 3 (symbolizing Block's racing number 43).
Lucy Block, Ken's wife, commented: "This exhibit is such a meaningful way to celebrate Ken's legacy and I can't think of a better place than the Petersen to bring it to life. It's not just about the cars, it's about Ken's lasting impact and the inspiration he brought to motorsports and car culture."
The exhibition opens February 15 in the Petersen's Meyer Gallery and runs through October.
