American Muscle Car Museum, Transport museum in Melbourne, Florida.
The American Muscle Car Museum is a private transport museum in Melbourne, Florida, dedicated to American high-performance cars from the 1950s onward. The building houses both a large exhibition floor and restoration facilities, bringing together cars from many different American manufacturers under one roof.
Mark Pieloch has collected cars since 1974, and the museum holds his personal collection as a private, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization rather than a public attraction. The models on display begin with 1955 cars, with many from the 1969–70 period, and the facility also includes a conservation area where cars are restored.
The museum is a private 501(c)(3) organization that hosts educational tours and charity fundraisers for Brevard County non-profits. Its collection also extends beyond cars to vintage balloon-tire bicycles, automotive neon signs, antique gas pumps, jukeboxes, pedal cars, vintage coolers and motorcycles.
The museum does not operate as a regular walk-in attraction, so it is best to contact them in advance to ask about group visits or scheduled tours. Once inside, plan for a long visit, as the collection covers a wide range of vehicles spread across a large space.
The museum is not open to the public: it operates as a private 501(c)(3) collection and event venue, hosting educational tours and charity fundraisers for Brevard County non-profits. Its 123,000 sq-ft building runs entirely on solar power from 1,200 panels.
