From this AMs paper....

Local guy uses an abandoned Walmart to house his huge collection vintage muscle cars and opens it to the public.

http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20090312/ARTICLE/903121058/2055/NEWS?Title=A-new-museum-with-muscle

The other local paper said the collection has 150 Vettes, GTOs, Chevelles & Camaros.

GT182, the link to his website says he's got Goats and 442s in there too.

Yeah, I saw that Willy. But they are way out numbered by Chebbies. Besides, I'm a bit partial for an obvious reason. ;) :costumes:

Just got a early report from one of the guys at work. His brother in-law just went. He said it was pretty busy. They couldn't get into the little diner at all.

I'm tossing around the idea of heading there next weekend. The Florida International Airshow with the Blue Angels will be in town and the two locations are only a few miles apart.

I drooled so much on my keyboard it hardly works!

Hope you can get over there FAC and get some photos to post.

The closest I ever came to owning a GTO was almost buying my housemate's 1970 GTO with the 400 cubic inch engine. It had the dual gate his & hers gear shift. It was in the early 80's and he had just finished making her top notch. As soon as he was done he found a '67 Corvette rag top that he wanted instead and was trying to dump the GTO as fast as he could.

He wanted a wopping $1700 for it and it was in near perfect condition. The only interior blemish I remember was a tiny split on one corner of the vinyl dash. I'm still kicking myself for not having enough sense to buy that thing and try to hang on to it.
