Wheels of Yesteryear - Mopar Heavy Museum in Myrtle Beach

[Keystone]

I did a quick search and didn't see this posted yet, so I thought I'd let people know.

We stopped in Myrtle Beach, SC on the way home from our FL vacation. The wife wanted to go to the outlet stores and luckily for me I found this place right next door. Reasonable $10 admission and I was amazed at all the Mopars! I'd say it's about 4:1 over the GMs and Fords.

They're apparently expanding soon too, as in the last room there are a whole bunch of "coming soon" placards. So if you're in the area and have some time to kill, it's worth checking out.

I went in 2012, very cool place. I spent a couple hours looking at it. As for the coming soon stuff, I remember a LOT of them back then but it doesn't appear to have changed much.

I wonder if one person owns them all?

Nice way to get a tax write off on "business expense" restorations.

If I recall right, a majority are owned by the guy but several are on loan from others.

Beautiful collection.
Something inside me says it's a shame that these cars aren't driven, especially the way they should be...........

I live right next to the place and it's great, including all the memorabilia on display. The cars are all owned by one person who had the passion and the foresight to buy them during the early 1970s gas crunch when they weren't worth anything. He had them on his farm and decided to open the museum. I do believe there are a couple of cars on loan as well.

Thanks for posting! Awesome. I picked out the Joe Dirt-mobile right away lol.

Better than them sitting in a field rotting.

That explains the survivor style conditions of a few of them. I know there were dings and little spots of rust on a few here or there. That makes the museum even better. I kind of have a soft spot for survivor cars more than clones or hundred grand restoration jobs

We think alike, these cars need to be enjoyed

Thanks for sharing, way cool!

Agreed, driving them is 90% of the fun of owning them.
But to each their own.............

We don’t know that they aren’t being driven...

So, i take it you are just here to argue.
Good for you.
