Good video talking about Cliff and his cars. I did not know he was a engineer.

You going after the injected '57 hard top, to go with your sport sedan Charley ?
I'll take the '58 Impala and the '62 Super Duty...

I love that 58 but I'm guessing this collection will hit the moon.

it is a nice video and great collection.

I'm surprised they didn't mention his Yenko cars. Some are shown in the video.

Cliff was the King of the Yenkos

I’ll have to go back and look, but I’m pretty sure there were several cars up for auction in January of 2024. I distinctly remember a Lemans Blue Yenko Camaro and a few other really nice cars. If I’m correct I bet others will be at Kissimmee in January 2025.

Cheers,
Marty

Default I was wrong!!

Well, it happens from time to time. I was wrong…
Although there were some cars from his collection, none of the Yenkos crossed the block. What can I say, there’s like 3500 cars there. I can’t remember them all. 😂

That explains when I once asked Cliff which car he admired the most,he said "All of em,I admire the ingenuity that went into in each & every one of them."
