The Bull Oil Grand Prix 24 Hours of LeMons takes place in South Haven, Michigan, but the LeMons HQ staff flew in via Chicago. Just as we were making jokes about greasing some alderman’s palm, etc., we saw this Corvette.

Remember the Holy Nickelbag mid-engined, twin-turbo GMC van LeMons racer? The Morrow’s Auto maniacs have returned to Gingerman Raceway with victory in mind!
Yes, this is a 1966 Ford F250 with a vegetable garden in the bed.
My much-traveled daily-driver ’92 Civic arrived in Colorado in June, but the California registration tags were good until September 30th. Why pay for three months of registration twice? Eventually, however, I had to get some Colorado plates… and installation of said plates caused the car to start dropping parts on the highway.
Not far from the ’72 MGB-GT sits this well-picked-over (yet still stately) Mercedes-Benz W120. I can’t figure out the model year, but let’s say mid-1950s.
My grandfather, a serious gearhead and ice racer, tends to focus on the vehicles he’s owned when telling stories about the old days. World War II, for him, was all about the Army shipping him to exotic lands full of Government Harleys.
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the City That Rust Sorta Ignored: Denver, Colorado. I found a very, very nice FJ40 in my neighborhood this morning… and then this much rarer Land Cruiser rolled up.
Back when I had a chrome-bumper MGB-GT as a daily driver, I’d have killed to find this nearly-intact car at a cheap self-service yard!
We of the 24 Hours of LeMons Supreme Court always like to come up with penalties that refer to current events and/or local interests. For example, the Mark Sanford’s Love Letter To Argentina penalty in South Carolina.
I’ve already ranted about the Soviet performance in the 1970 London-Mexico Rally, but we can’t possibly have enough Moskvitch 412 worship! English Russia has come through once again.
As you saw yesterday, I’m finally getting into the junkyard groove in my new hometown. This Denver self-service yard has some great vintage import iron, and today we’re going to check out this early front-wheel-drive Mitsu-Dodge as it awaits its date with The Crusher.
Just in case a shopper forgets to stuff his pockets with fuses, this junkyard provides a convenient shopping solution!
Judge Jonny found this fine Killdozer video for us, and it’s fully El Camino-ized!
