I bought my Corvette at BJs.... plus I got a free case of Dr Pepper, and a slice of pizza.

Muscle Car City is a short ride from our home in Florida. Went there a couple of years ago with a high school friend of mine. I have to say, I did shed a couple of tears reminiscing about the "old days".

It's a "must see" for any Baby Boomer or muscle car lover.

Very nice. Glad they finally found a use for one of those vacant, Wal-Mart eye-sores. Wish it was a little closer.

Where is this !!! If it is in Florida, we play in Tampa Bay and Jacksonville this season. I've got to go on another road trip on the Sat before the game !

The Muscle Car Museum is in Punta Gorda, FL. It is a phenomenal private collection. Been there a couple of times - it is definitely a worthwhile stop for 2 or 3 hours of eye candy. Everything there is a GM product - Corvettes, Chevelle SS, Camaro, etc. - all years all makes. I have not been there since the C7 came out so I don't know what they have done. Nice little restaurant inside to set you up for the ride back. Strongly recommend.

The amazing thing is that about 95% are 4 speeds.

It's a great collection and the owner is a great guy. It is just 40-45 minutes south of Sarasota.
