Re: Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum
It is about 8 miles from my house. I could go once a month. Floyd is a great guy, and there most of the time. Let me know if you do stop, maybe we could do it together, then do lunch.

Re: Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum
Bill,
I haven't decided exactly when I'm leaving yet, but would like to get together. Will let you know later this week. Jim

Re: Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum
Jim,
Be sure to take lots of pictures...especially of the Monaco Orange 69 SS Post Sedan Chevelle. Dan.

Re: Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum
Jim.....as has been said, the visit is well worth your time and Floyd really is a down to earth guy. If hes there, coax him into talking about the times that he raced in the ARCA series. He was using Richard Childress engines and thats how he met Dale Earnhardt Sr whom he has great respect for. This is the main reason that my Earnhardt Intimidator Camaro is there - Floyd's friendship with and respect for Dale Sr.
Although Floyd cut his teeth on vintage muscle cars, hes no stranger to modern muscle. By now, he should have his 06 Z06 Vette. If you're a Chevy guy, you'll enjoy the Chevy muscle motors on stands along one wall. All the great ones are there. Floyds website: www.musclecarmuseum.com

Re: Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum
I stopped there in 2001 with my 1969 L78 Camaro convertible and Floyd came out and spent time looking at the car, we then spent hours after museum closing just looking at his Chevelle project and all the cars in the museum. He is really a nice guy, got a great picture of him and I in front of the Camaro.

Re: Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum
We were there two weekends ago. I wouldn't make a 12 hour trip just to see it, but it's well worth stopping in there on your way. A very wide variety of cool rare cars.
