    If LeMans taught us anything it’s that we’ll never be as cool as Steve McQueen a racing program needs more than one car to be truly successful. If LeMons has taught us anything, it’s that spare parts are your friend. You can see where we’re going with this, right?

    WWJSD?  I would totally take it to LeMons if there was one close to me.  Fiats do have an extensive racing history, why wouldn’t I want to Hoon the hell out of it?

    Reader SmokyBurnout has recently taken up the wonderful art of papercraft. He stumbled across a template for a 1984 BMW 635CSi. Not content with the basic German goodness contained in the kit, he decided to produce his own version. The result has my jaw on the floor. Hop the jump for photos of what this…

    Never has a car so begged for LeMonization. Sure, the extra size might put you at a little disadvantage over the more nimble e30s and Sentras on track, but we need to remember: this is an endurance race; driver comfort is paramount. When it comes to comfort, nothing delivers like a 7-series. Just look at…

  • $600 1965 T-Bird: LeMons or What?

    /

    The problem with searching for LeMons cars is that it’s too easy to come across potential daily drivers. For instance, we’ve got the 65 T-Bird sporting a 300ish HP 390ci, but with a blown transmission. The good news is, usable C6s are like $9, and rebuild kits go for half of that. 390s are easily…

    How’d your Saturday go? This week we decided to skip Cars and Coffee this week in favor of More Sleep and Coffee. We needed the extra energy to spend a day reveling in bottom-end Automobilia. You see, for nearly a year I’ve been sitting on a pile of BMW 6-series trim and interior bits. Basically…

  • From France to Fontucky- Shock and Awe LeMons in a 404

    So, you doing anything this weekend? How about driving over to Fontana and picking up a ratty but seemingly complete ’68 404? With an out the door price of only two Benjamins, and a seller who might take even less, your LeMons fantasy could become a brie-infused reality by Saturday afternoon.
