Next week, Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City—located in a former Walmart in Punta Gorda, Florida—will close forever. Treworgy was planning to retire, although COVID-19 accelerated his plans, and he's sending his collection of more than 200 cars to the auction block. Mecum Auction will take bids beginning January 22

Anyone who can amass a collection like that doesn't need the money.

'74 is pretty rare these days. You see a lot of the others, but seldom a '74.

2nd gen. is my preference these days. Just kinda' tired of the 1st. gen.
