The Ken Lingenfelter collection, Brighton Michigan


Dec 2010 update: For a video of the garage, that the video owner insists you see on Youtube instead of here (WTF?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMQMgwouKlU&feature=player_embedded

New gallery (Mar 2010) WITHOUT the damn watermarks: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=750371

One of Ken's cousins was John. A red Lingenfelter in the photo at: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147630&highlight=ken+lingenfelter is the commemorative edition for the death of John. It has 740 HP! The collection seems to be driven quite a bit as evidenced by current registration. He also just built a new addition out back for another 26 cars to be delivered from another warehouse.
Only 21 Reventons were made, 20 for sale and 1 for the Lamborghini Museum.
His warehouse has three separate rooms with around 40 cars or so in each room. The first one has foreign exotics, the 2nd has Vettes, and the last is muscle cars. More rooms are being built
Ken made his fortune in the title industry. He sold his company for something under 500 million. His dad was a GM exec, he bought LPE after John died.

Terry's private museum is located near Denver, Colorado.

Terry writes: "I started about 12 years ago with my Dad's 54 Ambassador. I pulled it out of a field where it sat rusting away for 18 years.

It took 3 years to get it back on the road but once I drove it I was hooked and wanted more! I have about 360 cars mostly Nash, Rambler & AMC but do have a few X brand cars. I like all cars but do favor the Nash & AMC most.

I had the garage built 9 years ago to hold the 30 cars I had at the time. I started opening the garage to our local Metropolitan club for a club picnic. Many of the Met people are also in other clubs so the news traveled fast about the garage being a cool place to gather for club events. One summer I hosted 18 clubs! The Met club was here for the 8th time this summer.
I do not open the museum to the general public but car people are always welcome to visit. Feel free to e-mail or call anytime.–Terry, 303-646-9063"
