In November we told you about 15 prime Mopars that Tim Wellborn was sending to auction in January–Wellborn Muscle Car Museum Thinning the Herd.

More pics and a list of just some of the options after the jump!
It hurt when we saw the first reported crashed Challenger Hellcat but that damage seemed superficial. This one looks to be terminal. Said to be sold in Colorado and crashed an hour later, it seems that Hellcats in the wrong hands are dangerous but sublime ones seem to be downright cursed! Find more info at Street Legal TV. More pics after the jump.
