John Lingenfelter became known and respected worldwide for his skills as a racer and performance engineer.
John sustained serious injuries in an accident at a national NHRA event and passed away as a result of subsequent surgeries on December 25th 2003. After his passing his company Lingenfelter Performance Engineering continued to carry on their founders legacy by turning out some of the fastest cars on the planet.
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) recognized that their skills could be used to the benefit children served by Kids Wish Network. Like John Lingenfelter did, many of these children are also fighting for their lives. The crew at LPE will be converting an already powerful brand new 2008 Red Corvette Convertible into a car worthy of the Lingenfelter name. This one-of-kind tribute to their founder, friend and mentor will be signed by the “build crew” and become an instant and desirable classic. Most importantly, the net proceeds will be used to benefit many more deserving children.
The car will be equipped with an all aluminum 427 cubic inch block and will pump out an incredible 570 horsepower. Custom body modifications will clearly define this car as no ordinary roadster and the special exhaust will announce its arrival. As a tribute to John Lingenfelter the Corvette Dream Giveaway Grand Prize winner will be announced December 25th, five years to the day from his passing.
