The Revs Institute, Florida. Not to be missed!

I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago and visited the Revs Institute Museum. What awaited me completely blew me away. It's a private collection of some of the finest vintage and classic road and race cars in the world, all owned by one man, Miles Collier. All the cars are running and are 'exercised' every twelve to eighteen months. The museum is situated in Naples and advance booking is required as they only admit 200 people a day in total. I stayed about four hours in there and could have stayed longer. The best $17 I ever spent. If you're in the vicinity for holidays don't miss it. Now sit back and enjoy!

Some mighty exhibits there. The Veedub with the rear filler caught my eye, unusual ?

It also has wide wheels and indicators in an unusual place. I wonder if its 4wd?

I did a bit of digging, apparently it's a Porsche under the skin:

Even has aluminium body panels.

I also like the Le Mans Porsche complete with spare wheel:
