As just about every baby boomer-era enthusiast will recall, there was a time when the adage “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday” translated to real life about as literally as any such truism can. And, as a result, many of the muscle cars that grew to become icons of the time owe the entirety of their popularity to their race-prepared brethren. It was that realization that compelled Werner to shift the focus of his collection. Having already acquired top-quality examples of his favorite muscle cars, he found himself wondering what to pursue next, when it dawned on him: why not seek out the cars that “made” the cars? And so began the journey that would ultimately lead to the creation of one of the world’s most historically significant collections of vintage race and muscle cars. In large part due to that top-shelf nature of Werner’s cars, he has typically been one to hold onto the vehicles he acquires, noting that others have even jokingly referred to his garage as a black hole. But bidders in Harrisburg this July 31 through August 3 should prepare themselves for the opportunity of a lifetime as some of the most amazing muscle cars, famed race cars and more from Werner’s collection are now slated to cross the Mecum auction block . With more than 40 cars and even a few motorcycles in the group, the list of his track stars and muscle cars is a long one and rich in history. These are, after all, the cars that made the cars, and in a way, that also makes them the cars that made the hobby. A heady assortment of true heyday heroes, the Todd Werner collection is an exceedingly rare group boasting authenticity, originality and pedigree in spades. Opportunities like this are as rare as the race cars themselves, and 42 of the 44 vehicles from Werner’s collection will be offered at no reserve, so don’t miss the chance to make one of these thoroughly vetted victors of the racetrack your own this August Page 2 of 39 Serving the Mopar Collector Car Community Since 1952 © MMC Detroit LLC MMC Detroit LLC www. mmcdetroit.com Auction Description: Lot S137.1 Expensive when new, the Hemi Challenger R/T was quite exclusive; insurance rates and increased emission controls would eventually cause the Hemi and R/T options to disappear forever in 1971, the year this black beauty was built. What makes this car unique is its matching-numbers drivetrain, original black exterior paint and original black interior, with two original broadcast sheets to verify it. Always powerful enough to demand respect, the Hemi package was not for everyone, but by 1971, it had been somewhat domesticated, thanks to the hydraulic cam design. Of course, little else needs to be said about the 426/425 HP Hemi V-8 engine’s notoriety, as it had already established a legacy of victory by this time. Dual 4-barrel carburetors, a high-flow exhaust system, a NASCAR-circuit engineered reciprocating assembly and 10.25 compression were part of it to the very end. Behind that, this car has the right stuff, as the engine is backed by the heavy-duty A833 4-speed manual transmission, which in turn mandated the Sure Grip Dana 60 differential. This car also came with both power front disc brakes and power steering. The interior is sheer muscle-car-level equipment, with the touches that came standard when you ordered the deluxe R/T package. Of all the components installed on this Dodge, the N96 Shaker scoop bolted atop the engine and emerging through the hood was the most dramatic. Like the engine and the R/T package itself, the Shaker also disappeared from the option sheets at the end of this model year. The car rides on factory date-code-correct 15-inch wheels, highlighted with the larger performance tire size, again a factor that helped set this model above its peers. The current market has recognized Hemi E-bodies as the pinnacle of the era, with examples of these cars often outdistancing other brands in the genre. One of only 71 Hemi Challengers produced in 1971, this is an excellent opportunity to be “back in black.” Page 3 of 39 Serving the Mopar Collector Car Community Since 1952 © MMC Detroit LLC MMC Detroit LLC www. mmcdetroit.com Summary of Findings: Item Discovery Monroney (Window sticker) Information and photographs review only 1 Warranty documents Information and photographs review only Owner’s manual Information and photographs review only Owner history None submitted at the tiem of the review Broadcast Sheet An image of one of the broadcast sheet was submitted IBM Card (s) Information and photographs review only Internet research No negative information discovered Original photographs early in it life None submitted at the tiem of the review Item Discovery Numbers Matching Y N VIN tag Yes, the VIN tag is original 2 Trim tag The three trim tags on the LH inner fender is original Body VIN Primary Factory OEM Impact stamped on upper LH side of the radiator core support Body VIN Secondary Factory OEM Impact stamped on LH side of the cowl Engine VIN Nunbers matching for the car Transmission VIN Nunbers matching for the car All numbers matching Critical numbers in this section Item Discovery Exterior and paint Information and photographs review only 3 Chassis/ Frame / Floor Information and photographs review only .
