This is the weekend to be there. Did you drop coin in the juke box? works with good volume and awesome record collection in it. Some of the 45 you can play are actually worth a fair amount of money .

Thanks for the pics!

You could spend days in there...

 

[71dodgechargerrt]

I had a chance to go though there in January, when I drove up I thought I would be in and out in a couple of hours. I spent the better part of a day there, the place is unbelievable there is so much to see, what a collection. I you are in the area its well worth it. I was staying by Disney and it was not far from there...

He has an 4 door Hemi Coronet in there that was originally ordered by the FBI. I thought is was brown or blue, but maybe that white one is it. I don't think there were 2 in there! I'd have to look at my pics. I think I have a close up of the placard.

 

[Tempest 455]

Thought the 4 door was white?

I was there about 10 years ago, could be wrong.

Fortunately for me I live 1 hour south. I visit often and cant wait for " Mopars with Big Daddy" this month! Daytona Turkey Run also. Man I love November!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Budnicks]

It's Hemi-lishous

I haven't been there in almost 10 years now, looks allot like it did back then still

I loved that place, I loved the vintage race cars,
especially the FE Dragsters, Swamp-rats or whomevers
especially the old 60's & 70's, AFX, Gassers or F/C's, my personal favorites

thanks for sharing,
it looks like some duplicates/reposts there too,
so I just thanked both posts...LOL

 

[64BEL]

I found my pic of the placard. Correct - it's the white car.

 

[tommyg29]

Thanks for the pictures.
I could only spend about 15 minutes because the wife was in a hurry.

Went in both buildings this past Saturday. All I can say is amazing and any MOPAR freak HAS to check it out. My 8 year old loved it.

I remember going there in 1988 or so and seeing rows of Hemi blocks and heads for $500 to $1,000 a set. They were all former racing sets that had some minor cracks forming when they were xrayed. No good for 3,000HP top fuel work but great for the street.
