For you muscle car lovers, man this guy has some nice ones.
Tim Wellborn doesn’t go for foreign cars. Never has, not since the day his father rolled up to the family home with a 1971 Dodge Hemi Charger.
“I’d sit in that thing and dream as a little kid,” says Wellborn with a soft Southern drawl. “I turned 16 and wouldn’t you know, the keys just disappeared to that car.”
Wellborn laughs deeply. “That’s probably why I’m still alive. No 16-year-old kid should have the keys to a Hemi. But ever since then I’ve been a muscle car guy.”
Some might say he’s been the muscle car guy. Wellborn has over the decades amassed — thanks to a successful Alabama-based kitchen cabinet business, which he sold a few years back — one of the nation’s top collections of fast Detroit iron.
