American Concours d'Lemons

[UglyAmerican]

American lunatic Jay Lamm runs an endurance circuit race at various locations in the States called the 24 Hours of LeMon, for cars costing less than $500 (not including mandatory roll cage). More here http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/

 

As opposed to the UK, where there is a good supply of functional 500 quid cars, here in the colonies any running beater usually goes for $1500-$2000 minimum.

 

Some complete nutters decided this year to put on a Concours D'LeMons, atrocious shite cars from American history (and some Euro/Japanese trash too).

Mamma Mia - confirmation that a roadworthy US-spec Renner 16 exists!

 

I received a number of 1983 issues of Road&Track last week, and there were a couple of quality ads for these ("High Tech Imports from Dodge & Plymouth!") - the Technica package was a nifty digital dashboard, as was the rage back then. Plus the 2.6-litre 4-cylinder lump with an "MCA-JET", whatever the hell one of those is! Great pics.
