Wow, what a collection... thanks for posting the link.  How did you find out about it?

I wonder what the story is about the last gen Camero with the "ZL1" package and a 427.  I've never heard of such a thing.

My Dad sent me the link, he goes to local car shows up in Ohio, so hangs out with car people.  He probably figured I/we might want to check it out sometime.  As I was looking thru the FIRST link, I was thinking it would be cool if he would open it up to the public.  Then, seeing the 2nd link to the now open museum was pretty cool!  There actually looks to be a lot more cars in the museum also.  May check it out next time I'm down that way.

The Corvette club might also be worth looking into, as well as the yearly Concourse de Elegance event they usually have around Mt. Dora one weekend a year, tons of Ferrari's, Lamourghini's and other exotic cars parked on the streets for the public to peruse.  Do you guys know about this already?

Or even easier, start hanging out at Old Town in Kissimmee on Friday and Sat nights (starts at 7 or 8pm?) to see the classic car show parades there, it's very nice.  Then you can walk around and see the sites and amusements while you're there.

It's an easy drive (1.5 hours or so) if anyone wants to plan a Village BBS trip down to there.. no political discussions allowed
