Many of you know that some friends of mine and I ran (and won) the Detroit version of the 24 Hours of Lemons this year. We took a white 1986 Toyota Celica-Supra to the event and we ran the full 24 hours (that race was a true 24 hours, there was no break in the middle). Anyway, team hot rod showed up with a Lincoln (go figure) and they covered the event. In the article, they show a picture of the winning Lemons team, that's us.

We've been looking for a beat up 3rd gen for the next one. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif)

Ironic that you should mention a celica...

I bought a celica here in Georgia for $100 -- the body is in good condition, interior poor. The engine was clearly ONLY a blown head gasket so I bought it thinking it would match the other successful (light and 5speed) lemons cars.. I thought it had a 5SFE engine in it, but when I got it home and ran the numbers it was a 4A-FE (the 1.6 version). It was about that time when my Lemons team began the "backing out" phase. It is a 5 speed, the car is an STX, not a GT (though it has a GT spoiler, GT rims and GT taillights).

So, i'm sitting here in Atlanta with a $100 celica that I don't have any help with. My sons and I started the build and decked the head and were starting to put it all back together to run for atlanta region or GRM events -- but this this engine it does not appear to be a contender. I am going to start building it back next weekend if it doesn't sell. I reserve the right to change my mind about the sale once I start building it again.

So, this is the part of the story where I offer the car to anybody on this board who wants it for $80. If you don't want the current head, $100 with everything (i have $71 worth of machine work on the head). --- An important note -- the car will come with a bill of sale ONLY -- I have a 100% legal bill of sale, but the actual title is stuck in some bankruptcy court with a $120 lein on it. So, no title -- perfect lemons car.
