Topic: The most reliable Lemons cars
I've been present for 14 of the 19 races in Lemons history, and I can think of only two cars that nearly always keep running all weekend long: the Ford Crown Victoria P71 and the Volvo 240. Neither is particularly fast, but they're cheap, easy to drive, come with excellent brakes right from the factory, and junkyard parts availability is just ridiculous. I'd say 95% of Lemons P71s and 240s don't break down at all, which is about twice the success rate of such favorites as the E30, Integra, and 300ZX. Actually, it's about three times the success rate of the 300ZX, but we don't need to go there.
So, to all you newcomers putting your first Lemons team together, consider the P71 and 240 if you want a good shot at maximum track time and minimum bloody-knuckled wrench time.
However, if you want to be an instant Lemons legend, get a Renault Fuego Turbo!
