Cool The Lingenfelter Collection - Exotics, Muscle Cars, etc. **PICS**

Want to see 150 of the baddest cars on the face of the planet, in one place? Figure out how to get yourself invited to view Ken Lingenfelter's collection in Brighton, MI!

Check out The Lingenfelter Collection on Facebook for more pictures, videos, and info!! http://www.facebook.com/TheLingenfelterCollection

Here are some pictures from my visit there earlier this week. Special thanks to TMS Forum member Stinger1982 for taking me on a tour of the place!

Lamborghini Reventon. #12 of 20.














































































This is a concept w/ mainly brand-new parts that pays homage to the original:


"68" Camaro on C6 Vette frame & powertrain








Row of Novas & Chevelles:




Real Shelby GT500, none of this "eleanor" bull****:










2000 Cobra R. Can anyone tell me what's on this car that didn't come on any other Cobra R?












Road Runner 426 4-Speed Convertible. One of two ever made. Nobody knows where the other one is.








Paint on this Camaro was amazing:


Yenko Chevelle and COPO Chevelle:






Callaway Vettes:




Carbon-Barrelled Wheels (not an applique):




Paging Scottwax:


The original V8 Corvette Prototype:




Ferrari 288 GTO 2.9L Twin Turbo V8 (same as featured in the F40):


Check out the tension springs on the exhaust bolts:








Saleen S7 TT Intakes:


Saleen S7 TT Interior:




Veyron Interior:


Vector!




Rolls Royce:




Mercedes McLaren SLR Engine:


Scale Model of the Reventon that comes w/ the car for another 20 Grand or so...


670hp before break-in...FUUUUUUUUU
If you have questions about a specific car I might have more pics of it, or get in touch with the Lingenfelter caretaker crew on that facebook page!

There's too much win in this thread. TOO MUCH. I think I spotted every dream car I can think of in those photos. GTR, DeLorean, Shelby Cobra, S7, nearly every 'Vette and Ferrari known to man...

That Ferrari GTO has had my number since I was in high school!

How do you pick what to drive with that array of automobile at your fingertips? Probably a Wheel Of Fortune apparatus...

Awesome pics. At least he is taking care of his collection unlike the rotting collection of the sultan of Brunei.
