Corvettes for Sale at Wal-Mart. Well, Not Exactly

....recent email I received

MY - OH - MY, WHAT A COLLECTION
This guy does not have any automatics and has over 2067 big block Corvettes. He also had a Roman Red 60 Impala convertible.
He has several 442's including a 64. He has one of only 2 or 3 1970 big block Corvettes with the aluminum engine. That is probably a million dollar car!
It is all GM and all muscle.

Though the building is in Punta Gorda, Florida was once a Wal-Mart, it's not any more. When Rick Treworgy saw that it was vacant, he decided it would be the perfect place to showcase almost 200 Corvettes and other GM muscle cars he owns in a vast collection begun more than 30 years ago. He bought it, and now, it's open to the public.

Called Muscle Car City, the venue is attracting thousands of people who harken back to the golden days of muscle cars and their youth. It's also drawing a newer generation of enthusiasts.

That museum is closer to me here in St Augustine, and looks really cool as well. I will have to visit that

When I saw the Corvette subject it brought back memories of my 62 Vette

A friend of mine and I had just pulled a 'road trip' to Newport RI, then Cape Cod, then Montreal, Canada, then Lakes of NY, We rode into town right at the height of the new 'miniskirt fad'. I had trouble keeping my friend (and myself) from jumping out of the car to go chase all those lovely ladies.

When we stopped to ask this one lady who was walking her dog, my friend jumped out of the car and ran over to take this photo.

Regrettably, it was only a few weeks after this photo that the car was stolen from a friends condo in New York where we had stopped for a party on our way back to DC.
