WELCOME TO THE AUSSIE MUSCLECAR MUSEUM
Australia's first and only dedicated muscle car museum opened late March 2005. Take a virtual tour then an actual tour through history as you view road-going examples of the legendary race cars that made put Australia on the world motorsport map. You're in for an exciting journey as you watch the evolution of the Australian muscle car from its inception in the early '60s to the present day.
Creator and collection owner Jeff Bloom has painstakingly combed the entire country, in the process forming the most diverse and largest privately owned collection of Aussie muscle cars ever assembled in the world, deliberately choosing unusual colours and options to faithfully recreate the era. Most cars are identical or very close to their original specification, but occasionally Jeff breaks protocol with some non-original 'improvements' (for instance, he has a thing about Falcon hardtops needing very large wheels, particularly rear ones). Where possible all original parts are kept to be one day reunited.
Regardless, arranged in year/model formation together, the cars look breathtaking. This website cannot even come close to recreating the spectacle, but we've done our best through the miracle of technology. Do yourself a favour. Organise with your car club or association to get in and see the collection in the metal and do a guided tour. It's an event not to be missed.
Our website will be regularly updated with new photos, historical information and links to other sites.
Email Us with your thoughts, suggestions and comments. We're keen to hear what you have to say. Enjoy the show!
Our thanks of course go to the many individuals who worked tirelessly to make one man's dream a reality: Spray and panel gurus Wayne, Peter, Frank, Warren & Darren (and their various offsiders), technical advisors Mark, Mike, Peter & Ben who’ve probably forgotten more about their specialty make than I will ever know; my graphic designer, cameraman, image & web guru and great mate Paul from Gravity Central, spannermen Mark, Grant, Craig, Craig “Platt-boy”, Corey, car transporters John and Paul and Alan and Craig “Herm”, sidekick and partner in crime Adam (who’ll do anything for me as long as I lend him my Porsche – and remember him in my will), caretaker Alfred and “Bundy” the killer Collie for keeping a close eye on the place (and for helping start or push or tow stubborn cars that did not want to cooperate), Jeff Richardson from Surf City Garage for being generous enough to supply gallons of spray detailer and microfibre cloths (and all of the other stuff) free of charge to ongoingly keep the things clean, the multitude of car washers too numerous to list, my brother Greg for being ‘my hero’ and the inspiration to do this crazy thing in the first place, my sister Chrissie for keeping me grounded when I started losing my head, past lovers (you know who you are) for humouring my ambitions and aspirations and dragging yourselves off to numerous car shows, swap meets, car club runs and more, all in the name of relationship ‘bonding’. We salute you all!
