The Lingenfelter Collection started out as five cars packed into a modest three-car garage and has since grown into a beautiful collection of more than 150 unique cars in a 40,000-square-foot space. It has been an amazing and exciting transformation. While the collection is only open to the public for a legendary event once a year, it is available for corporate and charity events, silent and live auctions, and car-club specialty showings. Born the son of a General Motors executive, Ken grew up with lust and appreciation for stylish, high-performance automobiles. Finding success in the real estate settlement industry, Ken bought his first Corvette in 1977. Additional cars were acquired as his passion for performance cars grew. Having sold his company, he has dedicated himself to assembling a collection of significant muscle cars, Corvettes, and exotic European cars worldwide. In 2008, his passion for speed and excellence led him to purchase the assets of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, a company founded by his distant cousin John Lingenfelter. Many of Lingenfelter's Performance Engineering products have been instrumental in establishing performance thresholds. The talented team at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and The Lingenfelter Collection will continue to enhance the passion and create excitement among hot-rodders, racers, and exotic car enthusiasts that reach far beyond their imagination.
