Default I need some information help from some Florida forum members!

I saw a post about 6 months ago about either a dealer or private collector in Florida that has a large amount of Corvettes displayed in a LARGE BUILDING (maybe a closed KMart/Target ?). We (Oakland Raiders) will be spending a week between our games with Jacksonville and Tampa in Sarasota and I'd like to check this out on our "off" day.
Anyone know anything about this place? How close it might be to Sarasota?
If you read this Jacksonville Elmer, I owe you a beer if you can get to the Jacksonville Marriott Sat night Oct 22 !!

I know I could look it up but is this within reasonable driving from Sarasota? How about from Jacksonville or Tampa?
Thanks for the help!

About an hour from Sarasota.
I've been there 4 times. You won't be sorry.

American Muscle Museum located on Sarno Rd. in Melbourne, Florida. Owner is a gentlemen by the name of Mark Pielock. He has over 250 antique cars estimated to be worth over $25 million. The massive Building has just been completed. The Solar Panels alone are estimated to cost well over $1 million. I heard a race track will be available on the property. I believe the 1st Event to view the building and the collection of cars is sometime in October 2016. I been told he has the largest collection of Yenko Chevrolet's. It's going to be amazing to view Mark's collection.

Beer is good. Are you staying at the Marriott off of J Turner Butler Road and I95? That is 11 miles from my house.

From Tampa to Punta Gorda is 104 miles. 294 miles from Jacksonville.
