This Florida-based billionaire has the world’s highest number of Yenkos within his $32 million car collection.
His impressive haul has been turned into a museum, with each of the 440 cars put on display.
Whilst it’s not open to the general public, private events can be organized.
The museum in Melbourne is the work of Mark Pielock, the president and owner of Pet Flavors, who makes pet health products.

Inside the world’s biggest Yenkos collection
The collection is housed in a 123,000-square-foot space, and has decades spanning vehicles on display.
Yenkos featured prominently among the multitude, with one of each make and model appearing.
The car was the brainchild of Donald Yenko, who modified Camaros with engine modifications and appearance packages.
A tour of the collection was shared to YouTube by Mr. JWW, in which Pielock’s extensive range of Porsches were laid out.
Among them were some vintage Porsche tractors.
The tour guide showing him around noted: “The Porsche tractors we have are all the models.
“By that, I mean that they are all from 1957 to 1963, and they made four styles ranging from one-cylinder to four-cylinder.”
Only 120,000 tractors were made by Porsche before stiff competition drove them into extinction.
Tractors are big business, given their prominence in agriculture, and go for big bucks – just take a look at the one that went for the same price as a Lamborghini.
Have any of the cars been driven or are they garage queens?
It appears that some of the cars are getting more attention from Pielock than others.
Nearly 200 of the cars have less then 100 miles on their odometers, whilst over 40 are coming in at less than 1,000.
He’d certainly be missing out on this prize that Toyota send to drivers who hit mileage milestones.
The museum itself isn’t open to the wider public, but special events are put on, mostly for educational purposes.
This includes educational tours from first grade up to college, with a University of Delaware motorsports team paying a visit.
They also host a ‘Thank you’ event on Veterans Day, in which 3,000 to 4,000 veterans and their families can view the cars free of charge.
