— -- Engines will be revved Tuesday in Punta Gorda, Fla., as Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City opens its doors. The museum will feature nearly 200 muscle cars think Chevelles, Camaros, Corvettes.

Museum owner and auto aficionado Treworgy owns 64 Chevy Corvettes and 12 Pontiac GTOs, so opening a museum chockablock with cars seemed like a natural move. There's a speed shop next door for muscle-car enthusiasts to trick out their own rides with hard-to-find parts.

Information: musclecarcity.net or 941-575-5959. Tickets: $10, $30 annual pass. Children under 12 free with adult.
