comments
We received this gem at Hooniverse HQ from Leo (Thanks Man!) and what a mash-up it is. This is a combination of a second generation Prius, and a Subaru Baja Pickup Truck. Read more after the jump…

At Least Four People Will Want to Kill Me if I Buy this Car

In case you didn’t catch the updates from last weekend, the Uberbird needs a new motor. Funny thing about the BMW M30, the motors tend to outlast and out-value the cars they’re stuck in. Thus, buying a running but beat-to-Hell 5-, 6-, or 7-series can be cheaper than just buying a used motor. This is…

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passing by…

Ok, so what we have here is a retired, righthand drive Postal Jeep (which could be a great LeMons theme by itself) but here in the Great Northwest, these typically end up as repurposed, earworm-spawning, change collecting machines of mass-parent-irritation.

Porsche 911 Turbo Rearend Has Us Scheming
/
/
comments
Simply put: yes. A 415hp turbo pancake six, plus six speed transmission, plus suspension out of a 2001 996. Maybe not the simplest would-be transplant (or the cheapest at $25k), but if it were easy everyone would do it, right? Along the same lines, while more than doubling the output of an older 911 (or…

This Celica AllTrac Will Go to The Crusher if You Fail to Act!
/
/
comments
We’ve been told by more than one reputable source that the Turbo Celica AllTrac isn’t the most reliable car out there. Shocking to think that a late-80s Toyota with a rare drivetrain and turbocharged 190hp motor wasn’t fully optimized for longevity. Regardless, it’s a rare bird and an example of the kind of awesome risks…

350-Powered Toro Lawnmower Ad Has Highest Buyer:Product Sanity Ratio Ever
/
/
comments
…and that headline is why I’ll never be employed doing this professionally. The point is, usually absurd contraptions like this 350-powered Toro commercial mower come with an ad whose insanity quotient matches the product. All caps, exclamation points by the dozen, bizarre claims that violate two of Newton’s three laws, et cetera. You can practically…

What Would You Do With Three Yugos?

One is lonely, two is company, and three’s a crowd…which is precisely what your spouse will say if you drag home three Yugos. Looks like somebody’s sleeping on the couch tonight.

Please Please Please Let it Stay Under $500

Typically cars make their way to LeMons in one of a few ways: luxury maintenance costs/depreciation, cheap econoboxes that were cheap to start with, horrible rust/flood damage, or just being a total turd to begin with. Massive collision damage typically renders them undrivable. Not so in this case. The 302c.i. powered ’67 Mustang runs and…

Three Point Zero 3.0s for a Three Followed by Three Nines

comments
…which is three times three. By our count that’s 31 threes. No, it doesn’t make much sense, but it’s the kind of logic you’ll need to rationalize picking up this trio of partial BMW 3.0 CSs. For your money you get three cars and two engines. Two of the cars are red, one’s silver (with…

Topless and Classy at the Same Time

comments
Classic Mercedeses devoid of greater than six liter motors do little for me personally, but the cache of a vehicle such as this cannot be denied. This 1957 Mercedes 220S Cabriolet appears to have halfway through a restoration, judging by the condition of the undercarriage and the primer job. It sports a dual-carbed six cylinder…
