About this event
BMW CCA HEART of DIXIE 2019 Wellborn Muscle Car Museum Tour
Saturday, March 23
Wellborn Muscle Car Museum
4124 Broad St., Alexander City, AL 35010
Lunch at Big B Bar-B-Que
On 23 March, we will be traveling back in time when a 350 cubic inch V8 engine was a “small-block” and American Iron ruled the road.
Beginning with a meet up at Peach Park (2300 7th St S, Clanton, AL 35046), we will go east on AL-22 to the Wellborn Muscle Car Museum in Alexander City. Tim and Pam Wellborn have amassed the nation’s largest high-performance Dodge collection. It has 71 Chargers alone including a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi that his dad bought new. It has been featured in several magazines and TV shows and is located in a fully restored car dealership, which was built in 1944.
It should be a lot of fun. Don’t be shy about bringing your Mustang, Charger or Firebird for this trip. If you bring a 2002, I bet that Mr. Wellborn would race you for pink slips at no additional charge.
