Nearly 50 years after he bought his first Corvette, Ken Lingenfelter will be sharing a lifetime of knowledge as a new at-large member of the National Corvette Museum’s Board of Directors.
“Corvette has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am honored to join the National Corvette Museum Board,” Lingenfelter said. “The Museum is a vital institution that preserves Corvette’s incredible history while inspiring future generations of enthusiasts. I look forward to working alongside this dedicated team to help drive the Museum into an exciting future.”
Lingenfelter’s connection with General Motors dates back to his childhood when his father was a manager at the Fisher Body Assembly Plant in Euclid, Ohio. Ken went on to buy his first Corvette in 1977, and his collection of Corvettes, muscle cars, and exotics has continued to grow ever since.
His passion for making great sports cars even better took a big leap forward in 2008 when he purchased Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, founded by distant cousin John Lingenfelter.
Ken has been actively involved with the NCM over the years as a member, donor, and exhibitor, with several of the significant Corvettes from his collection having been displayed there, including most recently his 1954 Corvette EX-87 Duntov Mule.
“Ken’s passion for Corvette is unmatched, and his knowledge of performance, innovation, and the enthusiast community will be a tremendous asset to the Museum,” said Kaye Wagner, National Corvette Museum Board Chair. “We are thrilled to welcome him to the Board at such an exciting time as we build on the momentum of an incredible 2024 and prepare for an even bigger 2025.”

Many thanks,

Congratulations on a great addition to the museum board! What a nice guy with all the appreciation and passion for these great automobiles.
When taking delivery of my 1989 6 speed Z51 convert (my second new Corvette) the 230 HP 5.7 was a big disappointment. More so it peak (LOL!) HP was at about 4800 RPM.
I turned to Lingenfelter for a total engine ‘rebirth.’
335 HP at 6000 RPM.
Not unlike what Chevy finally did in the 1996 GS.
(Did they reverse engineer it? LOL.
