Wellborn Muscle Car Museum Thinning the Herd

Tim Wellborn has amassed an incredible collection of muscle cars over the years.  At Mecum’s  Kissimmee auction in January, half of his 46 cars will be crossing the auction block. With his first taste of muscle cars being his father’s 1971 Dodge Charger, he has always held Mopars in high esteem. Of the 23 cars going to auction, 15 are Mopars! Find more info of these very special cars at Hemmngs. Pics of Tim’s Dodges and Plymouths that will be leaving his collection after the jump!

Mopar Treasure Yard

Hot Rod magazine’s Ryan Brutt stumbled upon a shop that appears to specialize in Mopars. While the exterior looks like a graveyard, given the fact that the shop houses restored Mopars, one can only hope that these diamonds in the rough are only biding their time until they shine again. Find more info at Hot Rod. More pics after the jump!

1966 Dodge Coronet Moonshine Runner

Recipe for a car to run moonshine: 1. A big block Mopar (of course) in a nondescript color. 2. Extra rear leaf springs to maintain a stock ride height when laden down with moonshine. 3. A rear light disconnect switch for running in stealth mode. Bring A Trailer is featuring this 1966 4-speed Hemi Coronet that once belonged to moonshine runner Wily Clay Call. The 426 is not original but all else appears to be. Now I’ve got that Steve Earl song in my head. Find the original ad DC Classic Cars. More pics after the jump!
