I lost my sister to breast cancer and watched her go through all the things that she needed to do, so this is near and dear to my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Detroit News got a sneak peak of the collection to whet your appetite.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Ferraris, EVs, \u2018Vette appetizers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Pink is the only color missing from the rainbow of liveries in the sprawling collection. Purchase a pink sweatshirt from Lingenfelter\u2019s merchandise shop in Bay No. 1 to benefit cancer victims, then jump into the collection. A blood-red 1990 Ferrari Testarossa welcomes you, a shrieking V12 engine asleep amidships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It is flanked by a 1972 Chevy El Camino converted to electric power (Lingenfelter Engineering has an exclusive contract with GM to convert old vehicles) and wife Kristen Lingenfelter\u2019s wicked, flat-back, 670-horsepower Corvette Z06 SCCA autocross car. Speed runs in the family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Along the bay\u2019s left wall is a summation of the progress that Covette has made in just one generation between the front-engine C7 and mid-engine C8 Corvette supercar. Both models are top-shelf, rear-wheel-drive, track-focused ZR1s with white skins, black rear wings like scorpion tails, and sticky Michelin tires.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/business\/autos\/2026\/10\/08\/step-inside-the-eclectic-lingenfelter-private-car-collection\/92153496007\/\">Read full article here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want Corvettes?
