Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum Sevierville: 93 Cars, 30,000 Horsepower, One Film

Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum is in SEVIERVILLE, and it publishes here with a single video because a single qualifying long-form film of it exists. Fortunately the one film is the right one: Dennis Gage of My Classic Car walks the museum with Floyd Garrett himself. Garrett, a North Florida native, picked Sevierville for its car-show scene, and at filming the museum held 93 cars totaling some 30,000 horsepower — 'enough to pull the state of Tennessee out of the Union,' as one customer joked to him.

Dennis Gage of My Classic Car walks Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville with Garrett himself. The North Florida native picked Sevierville for its car-show scene; at filming the museum held 93 cars totaling some 30,000 horsepower — 'enough to pull the state of Tennessee out of the Union,' one customer joked. Highlight: a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt lightweight, fiberglass panels and Lexan glass over a 427 FE rated at 425 horsepower.

Garrett chose Sevierville for its car-show scene

The star car

The highlight is a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt lightweight — fiberglass panels and Lexan glass over a 427 FE rated at 425 horsepower — the kind of factory drag car that anchors a collection rather than decorates it. The tour treats the room as Garrett built it: a working enthusiast's museum, not a showroom.

Why one film

The only other long-form candidate the wave found was a different museum entirely — the American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne, Florida — and it was rejected rather than mislabeled. Pages here do not pad. When more full tours of Garrett's museum are published, this page will carry them.

The visit it suggests

Sevierville's car culture is the context: the museum sits in the town that hosts the area's big car-show weekends, chosen by its founder for exactly that reason. The film is the visit, until you make your own.
