That museum looks awesome! Most intriguing car I saw was when I was at the Santa Monica Main Place near Santa Monica Pier I remember walking into a store and in the store this guy had a 1967 or 68 Corvette with a 427 six pack convertible. Blue convertible. Talk about a crazy fast car. I think it was a 435 horsepower 427. I bet you a Dodge Hellcat could run circles around it today.

LTC (Join to see) - It is quite the museum. We met and chatted with the owner and his wife and for people as rich as they were, they were down to earth nice people. I'm not a car person but I dont mind looking at a beautiful car and he had plenty of them!

Thank you, Alan, I'm so sick of this Ford versus Chevy stuff. I'm not much of a European German kind of car guy because I like working on vehicles I can work on myself when I was younger. The car wanted to buy wood in my mid-twenties was a Buick GNX but it never happened. I hung around guys who had small block or big block this or that. I would read Car and Driver or go to Peterson's Museum in Los Angeles look vehicles. Thank you for the compliment.

Dodge Hellcat will still handle better than the Dodge Demon. European Sports Car people are not happy but they have to be admitting that a lot of Mercedes-Benz patents and Transmissions lineage is in this vehicle. I'm sure this car will be popular in the European Union.https://youtu.be/msUdk08Nhe8
