Ken Lingenfelter, in addition to owning Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, also owns a private, world-class auto collection.

The cousin of Lingenfelter Performance founder and former NHRA driver John Lingenfelter, Ken acquired the performance mod shop in 2008.

Today, we are fortunate to get a virtual tour of Ken Lingenfelter’s car collection thanks to Summit Racing’s Al Noe, who visited the collection back in February.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
