Wow, wow, wow.....one more WOW for good measure. Excellent design and even better taste in cars! Now if there was only a way to be in that place (doors opened of course) and fire up all those V8's and let them sing a little bit!!

Great garage and equally nice collection of cars. Would assume you are a NCRS member and attend the January meeting in Kissimmee. Went there a couple of years ago and had a wonderful time. Only guessing, but would think that all of the Corvettes are Top Flight Cars. They are all certainly beautiful and well restored. Are any of the Vettes survivors?

Can relate well to the '63 SWC, and the '62. The '62 looks like it is maybe a big brake car and FI as well? Are both of the '63 cars FI? ZO-6 maybe? None-the-less, very nice examples of some beautifully restored cars.

Good to see you are enjoying your collection and where you keep them. Time and resources which are well dedicated to your life-style. Nice!

Hope you have a ton of fun with the new project you wrote about and will be looking forward to seeing that project as well.

Best,

Ody.

I'd like to hear more about the pickup. Can't be too many factory 409 trucks ever built. I know some of the bigger trucks had them, but never heard of a light duty with a 409.

Very cool place and collection.

I mentioned earlier that I am building a second toy garage for my motorhome, trucks, and trailers. Floorplan is attached. The building has (3) 24'x14' insulated overhead doors. It is about 4700 SF. There will be a bath and a 15'x30' storage room with a mezanine in the rear for storage. This is the floor plan.

1carguy,

Impressive credentials you have gathered for the Corvettes. Unless immersed in the NCRS culture and that of Bloomington, few outsiders understand the importance of the awards your cars have obtained and the lengths the owner has to go through to achieve these awards. Clearly, you have lots to be proud of. Well done and congratulations to you and family.

I've have had my '62 since November of '70 and was used for the first date with my wife of 40 years. 340 hp car and mostly original paint. It has a Top Flight award. My 63 coupe is an original #'s match and Top Flight car. Also have a 65 Coupe, 396/425hp car with Bloomington Gold and Top Flight awards. The '65 was previously owned by Dr. Dobbins, author of the '63-67 Corvette Fact Book. The '65 BB Coupe is the "centerfold" in his book.

Thanks for taking the time to describe your cars.

Ody.

I recently finished an annex to my toy garage. The building is 70' deep by 60' wide. I posted pictures earlier on another thread. The images wdere much to large. Hopefully the pictures below will be better.
