I wonder if the Miles Collier car is in their museum in Naples, FL, where I live. The Collier Family is very prominent here (our county is named after them) and their museum, The Revs Institute, is an amazing place to visit if you're ever in the area.

Yes # 4 is at the Revs Institute (Collier Museum), but due to Covid the museum is presently closed.

Interesting Serial #3 (numbered 65 in the photos) is listed as Bob Patterson's in Vette Vues with a photo of the serial number. John Cannon was listed as the driver of the Dec 3 1963 Nassau race - finishing 8th.
Did Patterson own 2 of the cars?

----As far as I know, Bob's GS was #4. The confusion came from the racing number which for some reason was 3. Bob kept the original racing number and that has caused interesting comments for years. Bob also owned only one Grand Sport!.....Bill S

Mark, any idea if the museum was impacted with Ian flood waters ?
I am SO bummed about that hurricane. We were informed that our Feb accommodations were lost in the surge and are now booked on the other side, in Palm Bay. It will be warm, but not the same. I prefer the gulf coast to the Atlantic. Would have liked to go to this museum.

If anyone is in the area of the Collier Museum I highly suggest visiting ESPECIALLY if you have any interest in sports car racing from the 50's - 70's.
We used to go every few years when my grandparents lived in Naples - it has been 20 years since I was there and have considered making the trip JUST FOR the Museum.

Think it might go Penske/ClassicMotors Bill Roadster 001, Wintersteen/Simeone Roadster 002, Bob P. 003, Miles Revs 004, Penske Coupe/Bill Tower 005 (no expert, though!) ...?

Did Straman do 001 & 002? (see, no expert!) ...
