  • Nick Name Jeff G 78's LeMons/ChumpCar 260Z
  • Description I found this Z on CraigsList for $450. It was a true crapcan that had been in a barn for at least 15 years. From what I can tell, it was parked after the owner gave up on the car. Every mechanical system on the poor Z was either worn out, poorly repaired, or robbed for another car. It was full of dead mice and 3/4 of a large shop vac of mouse poop.

    Luckily, the rust wasn't too bad, though it did have some here and there. For what we needed, it was perfect. The title had been lost, so the price was right for a racecar.

    We spent nights and weekends over two months cleaning and repairing everything in preparation for its first LeMons race in October '09 at Nelson Ledges in NE Ohio.

    Once built, we gave it a BRE looking paintjob with red and white Rustoleum applied with foam rollers. It came out way better than we had ever hoped.
