You can be sure they aren't crap.  In spite of the press release I can't help but wonder if it really is related to some other personal issues.  I need to get down there and tour the museum and sooner than later maybe.

It has nothing to do with that.  He's out of room and he wants to get a bunch of new rare Mopars to rotate through the Museum.

So,,,, he just thought he'd lie to Hemmings that  day cuz......  ???

Did you notice they never actually talked to him in the blog.  They quoted him from a 2005 interview, then the referenced a press release from Mecum.  But never actually talked to him about the sale.  

The Reunion was cancelled because he had to take it easy.  That's true.  The rest is just Hemmings jumping to conclusions.  Even in the blog Tim is quoted as "According to Mecum's announcement of the sale, this doesn't mean the end of the Wellborn Musclecar Museum. "The goal here is really to make room to continue rotating the museum inventory," he said. "Space is limited, so we can't just keep adding to the current group of cars, and we want to keep the muscle car displays fresh."

Now that makes more sense.

Awesome!  What engine and trans combo on that 72?  I don't see 400 Magnum or 440 Magnum under the Charger script on the front fender so I'm going to venture a guess its a 318 or 400-2bbl?

Here's a shot of the museum via Google street view. I thought that the place would be much bigger appearing on the outside hence the problem of collector cars being too crowed.

he should buy a bigger building and expand the collection :cheers:
