Re: Where Do You Harvest Lemons?

NorCal racers should check out the San Francisco towed-cars auction, which takes place every Wednesday morning and always features at least a dozen great Lemons cars priced under 200 bucks. Hundreds of cars to choose from, and most of the bidders just want gangsta-mobiles or late-model Japanese cars they can flip for quick cash.

Re: Where Do You Harvest Lemons?

Well, I know where I'll be every Wednesday from here on...Thanks!

I throw the 1911 45 in the seat and do that regularly. I have found some crazy cars in the hood but they are always too far gone even for Lemons.

Yes a CHL makes it more comfortable to go out looking for a good lemon.  A house that has three cars in the weeds on the side of a clapped out house can produce some interesting finds.  Usually 80s and 90s luxo barges, some 80s rwd GM offerings like Monte Carlos, Regals, the odd Olds...  A rare display of better judgement saved me from a Monte Carlo SS Aero.
