Did Anybody get Pics of all of Tim Wellborn's 71 Hemi Display at Carlisle?

RT DAVE · July 13, 2006, 01:18:35 PM

I've only seen a few pics of some his cars that were at all Carlisle. Anybody got any more? I snagged two from dart girl's photo album already. Thanks in advance.

Just exactly how many car haulers was the guy supposed to hire?

Charger_Fan · July 13, 2006, 02:37:11 PM

I tell ya, if I ever have that kind of money, I'll be just like that guy...one killer collection!

Of course, I'll have to pick something else to collect, since Tim's already cornered the market on 71's.

I believe he has 23 of them.

chargerkid · July 13, 2006, 03:15:53 PM

Tim has 23 of the 71 Charger/Superbee Hemi's. He has a total of 40 hemi cars.

NHCharger · July 13, 2006, 08:07:22 PM

a few more shots.

RT DAVE · July 13, 2006, 08:16:21 PM

Thank you to all who've posted pics. I was considering going to this event just to see these cars but came to my senses just a few days before the show.

Lowprofile · July 13, 2006, 10:03:51 PM

I love that gun-metal grey w/ black.

Its good to be the King! Nice collection!

I was told that one is "all gunmetal". It's hard to tell in that light and even harder to tell in the pics. That interior looked awesome though.

Me too. But if you or anyone here ever makes it to San Francisco you are welcome to check out one that Tim doesn't have. By the way, only one hood open? Makes me think the other 22 just have 426 badges! That's my story and I am sticking with it. Kim

I heard some guys discussing the open/closed hoods. It seems that every so often they would change which hood was open but they never had more than one open at a time. I don't know if it was to provide better photo ops or to keep people coming back for more. None of the hoods were open when I was around.

I have never done a big show like Carlisle, but at the ones I do the main point of interest, by far, is the engine, much more so than the car as a whole (and the whole car is very decent). I have a routine at the shows: turn the entry card over cause I never have it judged, pop the hood, tape the dealer's window sticker on a window, put a laminated write up on the radiator support with a copy of the broadcast sheet on the reverse side, and after about an hour and a half, I take off the air cleaner, pop off the airgrabber spring and shove open the scoop. Oh, and I give out cookies. Hey, thanks for posting the pictures -- I was interested in how they looked and they look very, very polished. Kim

I wonder if he ever comes here to the forum?

Chargerguy74 · July 14, 2006, 05:10:18 AM

Is that Bee butterscotch....or just a dark banana?

I kinda like the fact the hoods are closed. It so hard to get pics of cars in their natural state (hood closed) at a car show. My guess is the engine comparments on all of his cars are prolly pretty much spot-on, so one open at a time was probably sufficient if somebody wanted engine compartment pics. two cents here. Thanks again for the pics.

FJ6N96 · July 14, 2006, 11:05:40 AM

I was in a state of awl when I first walked into building T. It just about made my eyes water. I own a FJ6/71 Superbee with the standard 383 engine, it's just amazing to see so many of them at the same time and all different colors

I talked to Tim a few times at the show.He is a very nice guy! :yesnod:He even let me get behind the ropes to take pics of the cars!Paul was his "caretaker"of the cars that weekend,and he let me take pics as well.I was actually taliking to Tim the most about the GY9 Dark Gold Metallic Hemi car that used to belong to his dad,if I remember correctly that was the car that got him infatuated with the 71's.He actually told me that his dad's old car is his favorite.
Throughout the weekend many of the hood were open!And on Thursday they were not roped off!

Post some of those pics! If you can't post em email em to me.

I look at those pics and try to imagine myself at a dealership circa 1971, call me crazy but I would love to see and compare all of the window stickers and pretend I shopping for one.

Mr_fixit · July 14, 2006, 10:27:11 PM

What color is the dark blue one? (next to the gunmetal one)

That's the best color, isn't it?

hemi68charger · July 18, 2006, 12:52:14 PM

Here's a picture of the King and one of Tim's Hemi 'Bee's...... I'm proud to say I'm the one that got these two together for a Dodge commercial..

PS: It COULD have been my '71 (Whitey), but the photo crew didn't want black or white cars.... So, I turned them onto this one.............

mikesbbody · August 16, 2006, 11:12:28 PM

hey rtdave if you are still looking for pics of tim wellborns 71 hemi chargers email me at mikesbbody@hotmail.com i had quite a few taken and alot came out good i wont try to post them as there are too many but i could mail them to you on a cd if you like.
Also i want to say i got to talk to tim and he's a real gentleman just like it said in the magazines. It took 2 18 wheelers to get the chargers to the show he told me he was worried about a possible accident involving the trucks as the cars couldnt be replaced. (i think thet will be the last time 10 of his cars are at on show according to what tim told me anyway)
His car guy told me he needs 3 more and he will have 1 in every color i sure hope he completes that collection. Also i have read some comments re: why one person would want so many cars all i can say is i would do the same but since i cant im glad somebody else has. I just wish these people had a chance to talk to tim an i think the they their opinions would change I will always remmber him as nice, friendly guy who has a killer collection btw the hoods were open or closed depending on what day you were there.

71 RT · August 17, 2006, 08:54:05 AM

I have a dumb question, and I am NOT trying to stir up anything with anyone....but in the 6th picture of Tims cars there is a dash emblem I have never seen on a 71 R/T. The "arrows" to the left of the "Charger R/T" above the glove box, is this something that was factory installed. The only reason I ask is because I have looked at a number of 71 R/Ts in my life, including survivors, and don't recall this emblem. Anyone out there shed any light on this for me? Just curious if anyone else has this emblem on their 71 r/t?

Goldfinger71 · August 17, 2006, 10:21:24 AM

I don't have it on mine.But I can say that for many years that emblem has been there from the first pics I saw of the car a long time ago......No I have never seen another like it either,but has been on the car it seems forever.

1fine69 · August 19, 2006, 01:48:24 PM

damn what a very nice collection! i hope he takes them on the road from time to time at least!!!!!! i really don't like them too much ( at least they are not my first choice ) but they are really cool when they are done right!

THE CHARGER PUNK · August 19, 2006, 03:49:19 PM
