So your car lover has a den full of automotive art & a garage full of cool memorabilia, what now. What to buy for the well heeled car nut who has everything? How about a Vette to park in that Garage? Great idea, but you’re buying for a pretty special person, shouldn’t it be a really special Vette?

How about this ‘67 Corvette Roadster from Legendary Motorcar? You remember Legendary, they are the guys who brought you Dream Car Garage on Speed Channel. That great looking garage they used for the show isn’t a set, it’s the actual shop where these guys bring magic back to life.

Great reality based TV, like great blogging, demands a certain amount of transparency, or honesty to become really great.

Over the years, The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame has moved several times while trying to find an appropriate venue to display its’ collection of historically significant race cars and memorabilia. Finally, it looks like the CMHF has found a permanent home at Legendary Motorcar in Milton, just a short drive west of Toronto. Legendary is the home base of Peter Klutt, host of Dream Car Garage on SpeedTV and the building actually houses the show studio, along with an incredible collection of cars. To showcase this new home, the CMHF is holding a Grand Opening on Saturday, June 10th. The entry fee is only $5 per car and the event runs from 11 to 3. I’d be willing to bet that they may be offering tours of the whole facility. If they do, take the tour as the place is stunning.
The Collection is home to such gems as the Mackenzie Financial Indy car that Scott Goodyear drove to victory at Indy and a Canadian built Walter Wolf Racing Formula 1 car along with a number of other cars that have won in the hands of Canadian drivers.

Along with the opening at Legendary, there is a track day at Mosport. This event will give participants the chance to experience one of the most important tracks in North American racing history. Several important Canadian drivers will be on hand including Scott Goodyear, Ludwig Heimrath and Marty Roth. Registration is limited to 50 participants and you can find more info here.
