There are several around here. A dealer in Clearwater (on Gulf to bay) specializes in older muscle cars, the museum in Tarpon Springs, and there are a few others.

If you're interested in heading toward the gulf, I will get you the names addresses and contact information.

Shadow, I think I saw a thing where the Tarpon Springs museum may have auctioned off their cars.

Default As mentioned before...

and I support and back up the suggestion...is to visit Old Town, near Orlando on Route 192.

Here, on any given Friday or Saturday evening, you can possibly take in anywhere from 200 to 300 cars all types, eras, model years of your favorite, and be mostly antiques/muscles cars! Its certainly a trip back in time.

Another huge show, with approx 1500 to 1600 cars, is in Daytona at the Speedway. This show occurs I think every March/April time frame. Going to the Speedway web site should shed some light on this event. Other members help me out with this information if you can!

We´ll be there from 23. feb - 01. march. Have just that week for the corvette. We know it´s not enough time for anything
I didn´t know that your car dealers are opened at saturdays/sundays, too.
That makes things easier.
The battle plan is, that we´re gonna buy the zed at sunday or even monday, then we have some free days until the car must be stuffed at the harbour.
So far now, I want to be there when they put my car into the container. I´m afraid they scratch something.
Sarasota is just a little bit south from Tampa, right?
That might be on our way back from Orlando

Sarasota is about an hour south of Tampa (40 minutes by Z).

Yes, you don´t have it. But that´s no problem. I´m glad you don´t have it.
Every trip on the german autobahn @fridays, when everybody wants to get home as fast as possible seems to be a dangerous journey for people like me, who don´t want to play with the car at full throttle.
I´ll try to plan our route for a visit in Tampa! (Ron Fellows---oh yes )
