So many of you have heard of the Lingenfelter collection. I’m lucky living in SE Michigan that it’s close by (See, I keep telling you lot Michigan and the Detroit area is an awesome place to live)

Any way some great cars. Link to full folder https://picasaweb.google.com/117219542842084007677/LingenfelterCollectionOpenHouse

Some pics

Sweet SWB Bus outside

Quite a collection of red purses If you have to have a stick figure family, at least have it in the back window of you Ferrari wagon

Smaller than it looks in pics, much smaller

I still maintain satin and flat colors make any car look STUPID

Now we've all seen those C5 Corvette's with the nose and tail of a 53 Vette tacked on that just look stupid, tacky, ugly and, well ugly. This is the same idea, but for me at least it just plain works. I have a stupid amount of want for these. It's a C6 with 63/64 styling cues.

So Freekin cool

20 years ago when I first moved here I went to look at one of these (twin turbo Calloway) for $20K, stupidly I turned it down as it was an auto not a manual, and I still stupidly didn't believe in auto's at that time.

Ade already posted most of the cool stuff, but here are a few additional shots I got.

There were a few of these Firebird-ized new Camaros:

This is a "Falcon" somethingorother. Apparently made in Michigan, at least according to one bystander:

F-cars? Oh, yeah. In addition to this 288 GTO, there's an F40, 328 GTS, an Enzo, an FF, a 458 Spyder, and soon a LaFerrari.

Vector W2:

Yup, a real 959:

There's a whole room of just Corvettes. Most are awesome, some are just awesomely bad. Like this:

The third room was pretty much all GM muscle. 89 Turbo Trans Am:

NASCAR homologation specials from the mid-80s, Grand Prix and Monte Carlo:

Hey, how did that get in here??

Another from the "awesomely bad" file, this is a custom third-gen Firebird called a "Knightmare", no doubt trying to capitalize on the popularity of "Knight Rider":

A cool E28 that was parked out front:

That white/blue "TrashCan" Camaro behind the Calloway was their showcar for their booths on that conversion. Beautiful car that even got the Pontiac treatment on the inside.

Also, I miss the days of them bringing collection cars down from Decatur, IN to Muncie dragway.
