Super Chevy went back to talk to Cliff 13 years after the 1993 Yenko article.

The 2006 article is on the Motortrend site here.

I used to take the my 4K car to all the Forge shows. I vividly remember the third annual show referred to here. If you are a Camaro Super Car guy the trip to Mr. Ernst place that Saturday night would be something you’d never forget.
I had a ton of pics of those days but when I moved to my new home in 2008 they didn’t survive the move. 👎. Mr. Ernst reminded me of Floyd Garret, just another car guy at the show checking out the cars.

I remember having a few conversations with Cliff, he needed some rear sway bar parts for a Deuce he was doing, very nice, honest guy.

I was told by a very good source that 4 or 5 of the Camaro's & 1 Nova will be up for sale soon by the family.

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...

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."

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
