Do you like old Chevy muscle cars? (Lots-o-Pics)

[heySkippy]

So, I was just out driving around last weekend and found myself about 50 miles downrange in Punta Gorda when I came across a very nice little roadside attraction. It's the Muscle Car City Car Museum, and here is a mess of pics.

Despite being billed somewhat generically, the museum is about 95% Chevrolet with the rest being a few Pontiac and Oldsmobiles. Not a Ford or Mopar to be seen. Nonetheless, it was impressive and contained the most Corvettes with chrome bumpers (I love Corvettes with chrome bumpers!) that I've ever seen in one place. Here we go.

Do you know what kind of filtering is being used? I haven't had any problems with my sarasotadetail.com domain being filtered in the past.

You talking about this one, recropped and zoomed from the first pic above?

It was funny because while I was there I specifically looked for a split window car and could not find one. I wrote this thread for another forum a few days ago and mentioned in a post that there wasn't a split window car and of course everybody pointed out to me that I had a picture of one at the top of the post. I don't know how I missed it, senior moment I guess.

That was something that was special about this museum. They had a lot of high-spec cars. It's one thing to have long rows of C2 Corvettes, but it's another thing to have a row that are all 427 cars and so on. Even the odd Oldsmobile 442 row was mostly W31 & Hurst models.

Three 63's in the photos. The hood vents were supposed to be operational to exhaust the engine bay heat, but they didn't do what the engineers were looking for so the operational aspect was removed and static ones for looks remained.
