Editor note: Information about this car was taken from an online article from the American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne, Florida.  The 123,000 square foot complex houses the collection of Mark Pieloch. Mark has been a car enthusiast for over 40 years and has amassed over 250 cars that range from classic 1950’s to 1970’s American muscle cars, to modern “sophisticated” muscle like a 2017 Shelby GT350R!  The 501(c)3 museum, located on 42 acres in Melbourne, includes 90,000 sqft of vehicle display area, an 18,000 sqft showroom, and an adjacent 15,000 sqft maintenance and restoration facility for the collection. The private museum, located at 3500 Sarno Road, is not open to the public, but is open to host numerous non-profit fundraisers, car activites, and educational tours for school-age children.
