Default Car Collection

I thought that the forum members may enjoy drooling over this collection of cars with numerous Corvettes of all years.

Wow That's not a collection, it's a HOARD! Reminds me of a pharaoh's treasures .

So that's the mythical ZL1 Camaro, that I heard about but doubted it existed.

Really is sad to see a group of really nice cars just wasting away.......instead of actually being put to use out on the road.

On another note......guess it is good that somebody is keeping some history for future generations to look at (or laugh at, for that matter).

There was a thread under the Southeast section about this collection:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/sout...o-open-up.html

Apparently this guy is about to open up a museum in Punta Gorda, FL. We're planning a vacation to the area sometime next spring/summer so of course I was interested. At some point I did read that the cars do get exercised regularly, so no worries!

Great collection (always nice to have money), but I wonder if he drives any of them. I saw a show on DIY last week about Jay Leno's collection of Dusenbergs (I think he has at least 9 of them). All of them, and the rest of his collection, are driven on a regular basis. Now that is
