Collectorsshow July5 Collector’s Showcase Rick Treworgy’s Muscle Car City f you’re a car guy or gal, specific to GM models, Muscle Car City in Punta Gorda, Florida is the place to see. With over 99,000 square feet Iof classic cars spanning 80 years of makes and models, Muscle Car City is one of the largest automotive memorabilia stores anywhere. You will even find the Muscle Car City Diner, a retro 1960s style diner including homemade ice cream for dessert. Owner, Rick Treworgy started his personal collection at age 17. At first Rick’s interest in old cars was purely economics, but as time passed he found a certain charm in old cars. He bought, sold, and restored those cars keeping his hobby alive. After 40 years, and a collection of over 200 vintage 1950s to early 1970s, mostly Chevrolet muscle cars, Rick opened the Muscle Car City Museum to share his world class collection. Rick’s Corvette collection includes one or more of each year from 1954 to 1975 and several of each series from 1975 to 2014. The classic collection boasts GM performance cars from 1957 to 1972 Camaros, Chevelles, El Caminos, Big Block Impalas, Pontiac GTO’s, Oldsmobile 442’s, and a huge assortment of Hot Rods and antique Chevy’s. If you ask Rick what is his favorite, his reply is always, “the next one I’m going to buy!” At Muscle Car City, you can also bring in your hot rod or muscle car to the Muscle Car, Rod & Performance Shop for restoration or other automotive need. If you are looking to purchase your own muscle car, check out the Car Corral for hot rods and other high-performance vehicles. Along with the museum is one of the largest automotive memorabilia and gift stores, which offer a variety of vintage and modern automobile collectibles. The store selection includes licensed apparel, vintage signs, diecasts, toys, and jewelry. Muscle Car City also hosts a monthly Car and Bike Show every third Saturday with live entertainment, trivia and door prizes. Trophies are awarded to the five Top Choice entries. The Living Well with MS Charity Car & Bike Show will be held on December 12, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This show includes dash plaques, trophies, music, a 50/50, and door prizes. Make sure to check the website for an upcoming Relay for Life benefit, as well. Muscle Car City is currently located at 3811 Tamiami Trail, Punta Gorda.

  • Inline Tube - at the Chicago - Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals 210
    Inline Tube - At the Chicago - Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals 210 For years we have been saying if someone created a show for all national winning muscle cars it would be off the hook. It has now happened. In 2008 Bob Ashton has took over and reorganized the Chicago Chevy Vette Show to include all muscle cars and re-named the show "Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals". The show is now open to all makes and models of muscle cars. What makes this show truly unique is that it is an autorama style show that is all indoor and under one roof. The cars are displayed with information telling about the particular cars and the hoods, trunks and doors are open and many with the wheels off to show every detail of the restoration. This is a application entry show so you must send in photos of your car for consideration to be accepted into the show field. This year there were over 500 cars on the show floor and the competition was stiff. This show will certainly turn into one of the premier events for muscle car showings in the country. Inline tube was proud to display our 1972 442 W-30 with the many customer cars on the show floor. Inline tube is a company that manufactures high quality concourse level restoration parts for classic cars and trucks. We attend events to show car guys that; with some hard work and the right parts your project could turn out like ours. At this event there was no shortage of high end cars displaying Inline Tube products.

  • 2006-Pontiac-GTO-Dealer.Pdf
    pontiac.com Imagine a 400-horsepower, aluminum V8 inside a 2+2 coupe so muscular, it appears to be shrink wrapped. Imagine the handling of competition-inspired suspension and brakes that you control from an interior awash in aromatic leathers and brushed nickel. Now, imagine it all wrapped in a concept so powerful that it is still the only one of its kind 40 years after its ground-shaking inception. Designed to redefine performance for another generation. And set the industry on its ear all over again. The 2006 Pontiac GTO. DESIGNED FOR ACTION. 4 IT STARTS WITH POWER 7 LS2 V8 ENGINE 8 GTO MOTORSPORTS 13 STRUCTURE, BALANCE, AND HANDLING 14 TRANSMISSIONS 15 POWER DELIVERY 16 WHEELS AND BRAKES 21 QUALITY AND SAFETY 2 3 INTERIOR DETAILS 24 ROOM AND AUDIO 27 SPORT APPEARANCE PACKAGE 29 AVAILABLE COLORS 30 KEY FEATURES GTO SHOWN HERE AND ON PREVIOUS PAGE IN PHANTOM BLACK METALLIC. SOME PHOTOS SHOWN IN THIS CATALOG MAY CONTAIN OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT. WD IT TAKES MORE THAN MUSCLE TO RAISE THE BAR. GTO is about balanced performance: acceleration, handling, steering, and braking. What +R performance starts with, of course, is power. In elevating GTO to the exalted 400-horsepower realm, engineers trimmed this nimble coupe’s power-to-weight ratio to less than 9.5 lbs per hp. That’s better than every car in GTO’s class* (Mustang GT is saddled with 11.6). It also beats P such renowned sports cars as RX-8 6-Speed, Nissan Z, and the BMW 3 Series coupes, including the vaunted M3.
