Mike Norris's shop "Next Level Performance" in Orlando Fla. is probably the best Corvette Shop in Fla. There is a nice car show in Plantation Fla. on University Dr. near 595 every Friday afternoon.

There's a huge Ecklers in FtLauderdale that keeps track of all the shows and events; I think they still have a ton of Vettes from every year around there someplace.

Too bad you can't take that beautiful vert down there Tino! My wife and I are leaving next Wed. for a little road trip to Florida also. Possibly Ft. Myers to catch some Twins pre-season baseball. Might have to check out some of the places your thread generated. We decided come Hell or high snow we're taking the vette
Have a great trip! Steve

If you not familar with the area around University & 595 ask anyone in the area where "Towers" is. The cars gather in a huge parking lot near Towers.

A received a flyer about a show put on by the Citrus County Corvetted Club and I believe it was in the week of March. You may be able to do a search and find out info on their club or ask in the Southeast section as suggested above.

You might want to visit Roger's Corvette Center in Maitland outside Orlando. He has one of the two ZL-1's produced, and several L-88's, including one with about 12 miles on it. He keeps about 100-120 vettes in stock.
