This past weekend I was driving through Tennessee and decided to stop by Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum. I didn't have my digital camera, so I bought a disposable camera. Here are some pictures. The quality is terrible but it's the best I could do for now. There is a 69 Yenko Camaro with 4000 miles on it. Does anyone know the car? I hope the link works. It's the first time I used the Webshots site to host pictures.

Thanks Rick. I can't figure out how to make it open to the public. I guess I need to find a new host site.

If you log into your pic site and copy and past the url here, i think that may do it. Or we need your log in info, and you could change that info after we have seen the pics. Roger

Roger, I'm sure the car in question is a green, low mileage,
car from WIS right ? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the pics James, I enjoyed the tour. The 62 and 63 Catalinas sure turn my crank. The 62 is obviously a Super Duty with the two fours. Can't read the sign for the 63, it has a single four so it may not be a Swiss Cheese SD. Obviously my favorite was the 69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Post Coupe SS L89. I've got several pictures of it and some day I hope to see it in person.

Cool photos James. Floyd always has a premium collection of American Muscle on display.

Did you happen to notice my Dale Earnhardt Intimidator Camaro? It sits in the first row of cars, to the right, just as you enter the display area.

Of course, theres always the chance that Floyd had it out street racing. He has the keys and is quite fond of it! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

I attended the Camaro Nationals going back approx. 12 years ago in the Smokey Mountains and took my then 10 year old son to the museum. He caught the fever and to this day still pulls out his pics of Floyds place.

I have been there virtually recently and I do know a secret. I know what Floyd's all time top favorite muscle car is! Anyone else been there virtually recently? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Nice guess. You got the make and model. Just not the motor or year.

Give that man a cigar! 'cept I don't think that is a representation of the winning answer.

This surprised me as I thot from Floyd's other choices in his top 10, that he would have picked a BIG car.

I was there about a month ago, and Floyd stood and talked with my family for about 45 minutes. Really a nice guy.

He is also VERY FOND of 409 cars. I've been 'Upstairs' and seen some of his stash.

Can anyone guess who his favorite NASCAR driver is?

We were just there a week and a half ago for the second time in 2 years. Floyd is an extremely nice guy. Beautiful cars...I just wish it was a little brighter in there. My digital camera doesn't work worth a crap inside his place http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
