It's Just Not Fair!......Some Guys Have All The Luck

[Ghoste]

Yeah, for some reason though I thought he had just about all of them.  (the Cuda drop tops that is)

[TUFCAT]

Bill also owns a few '70 Hemi cuda conv.'s also... Best mopar collection in the world, hands-down... (not just Cuda's either - wide array of HEMI cars)...

That may be the case.......but Tim Wellborn may have the best collection of 1971 Chargers I've EVER seen.  I think he lives in AZ also.

[Ghoste]

I'm all messed up today cuz I thought he was a 'bama boy?

Suddenly, I think you're right!    In fact, you ARE right....I just googled him  AZ-- AL?  (what's the diff?) 

See Tim Wellborn article below:

I WILL have a garage like that one day

[hemi-hampton]

Hmmm, One guy say's muffler Bracketts must be right since car restored to be correct, If correct since when did Chrysler paint their undecarriages. Since the left side unbolts & right welded it's obvious the undercarriage was painted with left removed. Then added later. BUT, In my opinion if they were going to add later they should have painted orange to match.  LEON.

Why would anyone give a rats a$$ about the color of muffler hangers anyway?

[Ghoste]

Because if you and I split all the Hemi Cuda convertibles in the world between us, how else am I going to prove I have the bigger wiener unless I get that Mopar Nationals OE Certification?

Right! I gotcha.

[mikesbbody]

to have a collection like that, a house like that etc it really doesnt matter too much where it is imo. sure arizona is hot as hell in the summer but i could deal with it 

[hemihead]

The cars & shop are nice, but why the need to post pics of your house in the ebay auction for the car? 


Oh yeah, it's the my dick is bigger than your dick syndrome.   

That diease is an epidemic in this hobby

If you've got $1,275,000,000.00, you can live like him as the house if for sale also.

It's a bit North of Phoenix.

The house is owned by a fella named Greg Nelson  http://www.moparponderosa.com/index.html   who is buying Bill Wieman's place in Scottsdale, AZ.  Bill is also selling off a car or so. 

1.2 billion!! ? 

Mike i think you mean $1,275,000

Ya this guy lives just south of me, anyone want me to go inspect it for them? 

Whats the deal with the different color exhaust hanger brackets?  Are the supposed to be that way?  They must be if this car is all correct.
Also the e-brake cable on the right has a rubber sleeve on it and the left side doesnt...?

On Chargers with dual exhaust the unpainted one is added (bolted in) as the car goes down the line if it gets duals, and the other is welded in as all Chargers get that one of course. As far as the cable thing i would have to look at mine to see.

Correct. The passenger side hanger was standard and painted on the car. If the car had dual exhaust then they added a drivers side hanger on the line and that hanger should not be painted.

[hemi-hampton]

In reality, Since Chrylser never painted their undercarriages, none of the hangers should be painted. When you do redo your under carriage & decide to paint it, both hangers should be on, why would you even take one off? LEON.

[Mike DC]

   

What cracks me up is that there are books full of obscure trivia like that.

And then when I start looking & calling around to find a basic measurement for the correct original ride-height on stock leaf springs . . . nobody has a clue. 



This hobby can be very inconsistent & selective about what it cares about and what it doesn't.   

     

[hemi-hampton]

Might be hard to see with the dark Lighting but I like to paint both my Hangars, as can be seen on this B5 blue 440 6 pak Cuda. Since painting undercarriage is not correct any ways how can you say both should not be painted or one should & one should not. If you want correctness go the primer with overspray route. New trunk & frames & trunk extension & 1/4's & partial floors on this car. LEON.

[PocketThunder]

Correct. The passenger side hanger was standard and painted on the car. If the car had dual exhaust then they added a drivers side hanger on the line and that hanger should not be painted.

I learn something new everyday on here.

Damn dude that is baddddd assssssss

I'm not really that impressed with the house, but the choices of cars, and collection of them is pretty impressive. As far as calling it the best collection in the world? That will always be debatable. I know people have said its the largest collection of HEMI E body convertibles in the world, but are you guys sure of that? I'm thinking there is another gentleman that has had at least 5-7 of them since the early 80's. And there is another gentleman in just south of me (about 150 miles) that has 2 or 3 factory HEMI E body convertibles as well.

[SFRT]

I cant stand convertibles.

[Mike DC]

 
I'd much rather have a whole fleet of nice cloned cars than a handful of numbers cars.

[Ghoste]

I'm happy with one.  One more would be nice though, a daily driver cruiser and full bore bruiser.

[69_500]

I don't want a bunch of cars, but just probably 3 and that would make for a happy garage, and a happy owner. 

[The70RT]

Yess bad assed to say the least. I was wondering so no undercoating in the wheel wells? I was thinking doing mine body color in the wells but was questioned on that?
