    You know, I haven't called the junkyard to ask, but I'm betting a Porsche 928 *frame* is worth more than 500 bucks. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Jim Hubert: We have a copy of the Craigslist ad asking $250 for the car.. And we've since found 5+ 928s for under $500.. one even runs! Not that we bought them, but when friends and 928 enthusiasts (or haters, this LeMons) knew we were building one, we were deluged with e-mails and Craigslist leads. We bought 2, a 79 found on Craigslist for $200 and a 84 found across from a friends house for $256 (the price was $260 but we were $4 short on pickup) One was stripped out and in pieces, the other was a theft recovery with a slipped timing belt and totally screwed up wiring. The 79 was our first choice to run, as it is light and has a 5 speed, but the K-jet injection was missing too many parts and we just couldn't get it on track for under $500, and we'd have to build a wiring harness to boot. So, onto the the automatic 84, a complete L-jet car, with some seals, o-rings and a timing belt our total is just over $400.. no BS. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Evil_Genius: Oh, and we also found $1.39 in change and a 14ct gold ring in the car. We sent the ring to a re-refining company and will be getting a check to apply to the budget soon. Did I mention the way-bitchin Sky-Tel pager we found as well? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    I knew it was a matter of time until an XJ showed up.

    Also, gotta love the Crown Vic team who named themselves "Save the Whale". A guy on tB calls his "POWERWHALE", and I endorse that as well. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    When I first saw Phil Frank was going to be at the race I thought the creator of 'Nigel Shiftright' was back from the dead and ready to do battle on the racetrack. So is this his son? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    That Alliance looks pretty sweet, or as sweet as any Alliance can be. I remember the GTA versions being pretty astounding handlers, so this should be interesting. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    The Alfa love makes me happy. The cars are getting what they want and the mechanics are getting to curse in various languages again.

    I am willing to award bonus points for any team that curses the entire time they're fixing their alfa... IN LATIN!

    This list is so sucktastic, it's almost certainly a black hole. The supercollider has nothing on this level of planet-destroying rampage to be unleashed.

    Slushbox 928? Goner. 2-633 CSIs. A Charade? More RX7s than you can shake a stick at? Corvair and a 914?

    I wish I could even be bothered to wonder what Team Apathy will show up with.

    Either the 505, the Eldo, or the Legend is going to run away with it. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    Hmm, I notice that the cars are clustered in the 1983-1987 range, makes sense. Pre-Post Malaise and cheap. It is interesting to see them organized by year. 73 cars 1/2 the field covered by those 6 years.

    I'm pretty excited about the 928-- I know a bunch of people in the LeMons Inner Circle (which, I believe, is the seventh circle) have always considered the 928 one of the holy grails of raceable $500 cars, and I figure if anyone can make it work for two days of racing, it's probably Evil Genius Racing. I think this also might mark the first time a car in the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage (remember that?) has competed in LeMons.

    Of course, a 928 isn't a real Porsche, no matter what old man Lieberman says. real Porsches are air-cooled, which is why I'm excited to be a semi-official member of the Big EASY team. We may have a VW flat 4 instead of a quad-cam V8, but we've also got a kickass roll cage partially built by yours truly, and the decklid has a paddle-wheel on it to make it look like a steamboat. Big Easy, get it? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    Does it make me more of a jalop if my daily driver is an entry? Sadly, I'd bet the majority here would find a '97 Maxima boring...
