I am sorry to hear that Cliff has passed. He was one of the great car guys and just an all around nice person, he treated everyone the same, with great respect.

When hear or seen the name Cliff Ernst, I always remember the magazine article of him in front of a multi-car garage with his Camaros visible in each doorway.
One in every color.
I'll have to dig up the magazine out my collection and re-read the article again.

Here's the article about Cliff's Yenko Collection from the October 1993 issue of Super Chevy. I'd love to hear Cliff and Floyd Garrett bench racing!

He will be missed by his family and close friends. However we all felt in awe of his passion and his willingness share his cars with all of us through magazine article, and car events he sponsored. He made a huge impact on the musclecar hobby and will be missed. RIP....

RIP, read all those articles in the past.

Guessing he did a lot for the scene, finding and restoring cars.
