PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – For years, Todd Werner has been collecting rare, one of a kind race and drag cars as well as other valuable automobiles. Recently he decided he is going to sell 44 cars out of his collection.
“I have heart in all of these cars. I went and hunted each individual car, researched them. So, my heart is in my car collection,” said Werner. “It’s just time for a change.”
Housed in a warehouse and workshop in unincorporated Pinellas County, the cars will soon be headed to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where they will be featured at Mecum Auctions in August.
Only one of the 44 cars will have a reserve or minimum price—a 1970 Superbird driven by the king, Richard Petty. Werner says he won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t sell.
“This is the only car I have a reserve on,” said Werner. “If I take it home, I take it home.”
