Kerlin Motor Company x Hennessey Performance: Built for People Who Don’t Do “Stock”
Kerlin Motor Company is an Authorized Hennessey dealer in Indiana with secured 2026 model year allocations across Hennessey’s most in-demand Ford-based builds. Here’s what Hennessey does, what makes Kerlin different, and why ordering through Kerlin is the cleanest path to owning a Hennessey.
What Makes Hennessey Performance Special?
Hennessey is a Texas-based performance engineering and special-vehicle builder known for taking already capable vehicles and turning them into something that feels unfair to physics. Since launching in 1991, Hennessey has modified 15,000+ vehicles, and their modern builds commonly include comprehensive engineering, validation testing, and a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty on applicable packages.
The headline is power, but the real value is how they deliver it: components, calibration, supporting systems, repeatable testing, and a finished product that’s meant to be driven, not just posted.
What Makes Kerlin Motor Company Special?
Kerlin Motor Company has built its reputation the old-fashioned way: by doing the right thing when nobody’s watching. We’re a long-standing Indiana Ford dealer with a deep bench in specialty and performance vehicles, because customers who care about capability tend to care about trust, too.
Why Buying a Hennessey Through Kerlin Makes Sense
Buying a specialty vehicle should feel exciting—not confusing. Ordering through an authorized dealer gives you a cleaner, more transparent path than hunting for a unicorn on the internet.
- Credible ordering pathway: A defined process for specs, timelines, and documentation.
- Better alignment on build intent: We help you spec the right package for how you actually drive (daily, towing, off-road, track).
- Financing + trade structure: Work with a dealership team that can structure the full deal, not just the performance package.
- Long-term relationship: The purchase is one moment. Ownership is years. We plan for the years.
