    Honestly, the Renault 5 is a mistake. The two generations share nothing other than a resemblance in design.

    @Instructor: The first gen R5 was built in Iran until 2000. Parts of it were still in production in 2006 as the Pars Khondro Sepand P.K. (on a Kia Pride chassis, no less).

    The fact that he offers to happy to sell the (mismatched) Fiat wheels for $250 and then scrap the rest of the car says it all. I'd rather have a Strada...

    Too bad the owner didn't finish before he lost his nerve, or came to his senses...as a project, it's about half done, but as a LeMons racer it's about 90% done... hmm... excuse me a moment -

    @HoonThatFerrari: I think there's a theme right there. !/2 from a guy with a screen name of 62ImperialCrown (Now that would make a great LeMons Car right there!), and 1/2 from a guy with a screen name of HoonThatFerrari (A car that will never be cheap enough to run in a LeMons event EVER).

    Team ImperialFerrariYugo. Paint the car an appropriate shade of red, make plywood fins with appropriate Imperial Tail Lamps, (or better yet, take 4 Lantern Type round lens flashlights, and mount them to the front bumper, like the Imperial), Make sure the front fenders have a Ferrari Crest, a wing type spoiler at the ass end, and voila, one hell of a theme.

    Anyway, it has a Fiat Engine..... and doesn't Fiat own Ferrari? Oh, and look, they own most of Chrysler now.... How's that for Karma?

    @UDMan: You'd want to use a couple movie usher's flashlights for the taillights as well.

    If I'd kept that '62, it would qualify as I paid $500.00 for it (although those were 1982 dollars). Tough as a tank for the back roads of the San Diego reservations and an excellent highway cruiser - until a Nova hit it in front of my house and shoved it into the curb which screwed up the front end. (The bastard got away, too.)

Perhaps you saw that I was able to form a team from all over for the New England Lemons event, with drivers from Ohio, Cali, and the New York Metro Area, wiht a mechanic from Long Island, and a car from Vermont (The infamous 63 Corvair)... so it could be done.

I'll pony in with a thousand upfront - that'll cover the cost of the car, and at least a portion of the safety upgrades.

    That is, providing the first purchase we agree to make are new wheels lugs all-around...

    Hey Murilee, just in case you haven't thrown your laptop against the wall in frustration, I have another candidate for Part II: The Lotus Esprit, produced from 1976 to.... what? A week ago yesterday? :-)

    Maybe you need another list (who knows, you might be a masochist) of "Longest running exotics". Surely the Pantera and Esprit would be near the top of the list, along with the Countach, Diablo and Jaguar E-type. Of course, some clown would STILL want the Jeep CJ on the list. :-)

    @BLeyland: I was just searching their terribly limited pool of information. Basically, a continuous chassis needs to be confirmed between the Brigand/Britannia (603 S3) and Blenheim (603 S4). This seems quite plausible, and the even more likely 603-603 S3 link would just be showing off. As it stands, each just seems to be a mild restyle and rename, with a few variables in drivetrain and suspension.

    Sorry, but world's "oldest" car made in same factory and assembly line is VAZ 2121 Niva. First car came 1977 and still in production. 32 years, no other car can't beat that record. IF, it can be M-B G-Wagen.

    Wikipedia:
    The Niva (2121) was Lada's (VAZ/AvtoVAZ) first non-Fiat based model. Much of its mechanicals are carried over from the Fiat based Lada models, though the body, four-wheel drive system, and front suspension were designed by Lada. Production began in 1977 and continues today (as of 2008) with only minor changes to the engine, rear hatch design, and interior trim levels.

    it holds first place but im a little disappointed that you didn't count the Beetle as running thru present day. I will accept it due to a serious lack of interchangeability between the New & Old Beetle. The distinctive body is still essentially the same however.
    And yes (as I am sure a few realized by reading the article) you could have same production year New & Old beetles sitting in your driveway if you knew where to find an old beetle dealer!

    Sorry to say it, but you have missed the Morgan 4/4. It was initially built in 1936, and barring the years during the war has been built every day since. They are still available new, just not in the U.S. where safety restrictions prevent it being imported, or so I last read.
