DEARBORN - The American Muscle Car Museum, located in Melbourne, Florida, first opened its doors in the fall of 2016. Housed in a 123,000-square-foot facility and displaying over 250 muscle cars, the museum holds one of the world's most impressive collections of rare performance vehicles. The privately owned facility is owned by Mark Pieloch, who uses his collection to host his ‘Rev Up’ charity to benefit the American Cancer Society. The facility is also a "green" building that uses 100% solar energy with 1,200 solar panels.

No museum is complete without the proper car décor to pair with its collection. Along with the many rare cars the collection includes vintage balloon-tire bicycles, auto-related neon signs, antique gas pumps, jukeboxes, pedal cars, vintage soda coolers, and motorcycles. Tickets cost $150 for general admission, $250 for a VIP tour and $2,500 for a corporate table. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Longtime Shelby enthusiast and SAAC-MCR club founder Jeff Burgy took some time to stop in for a visit at the museum and snapped photos of some of the more notable Fords he found on display there. He agreed to share his photos with us, so check out some of the Blue Oval beauties in his gallery below:
