Rick Hendrick's Heritage Center is a very impressive place ... tours of the Heritage Center are included with a purchase of a vehicle from the Hendrick Heritage Collection, and is not open to the public. So, if you would like to see the Heritage Center it's going to cost you a few $$$$$.

Or you can join the NCRS and get invited for a private tour.
We got to see the place in 2010 during the NCRS Charlotte National, I was doubly fortunate to walk through the amazing collection with our very own John (John Z), it was like having a private tour guide, he knew something about all the race cars and thee rare production cars.
Only bad thing, we weren't allowed to take pics, but now it's on TV?

Had a chance to see this collection a few months ago with my Corvette club. All I can say is you have to see it to believe it. It is Chevrolet Heaven.

It must take all day to go through that large a collection, along with the buildings and exhibits. lt looks like a movie backdrop ghost town!

Our tour only lasted about an hour, but you could spend all day and probably not see everything. It's just a fantastic collection. His 67 Corvette collection consists of every color combination available both coupes and convertibles. If I'm not mistaken I believe they were all 427/ 4 speed cars.

I see he has the last '67
Wonder if it's on loan or did he buy it from Mr. Pratt?
