culture|garage’s 24 hours of LeMons car*

The race isn’t until September in Toledo but we are already getting excited, perhaps egged on by Jalopnik’s coverage of the top 50 cars at Thunderhill. You read it here first, culture|garage will be fielding a 1995 Saab 9000 Aero in the Midwest LeMons competition. Currently, the car sits in an alley, pretty much stripped of everything. As it is at the forefront of importance in a race vehicle, we have already begun concepting paint schemes for the car, join the fun. Why a Saab 9000 you ask? Well because a Saab is the epitome of reliability, we like leather and want to prove once and for all that FWD is God’s gift to car enthusiasts. Realistically, because we got one for dirt cheap and one or two of the guys are brainiacs with making Saabs sweet and between us we have enough parts to make three complete cars. Stay tuned for more.

* We haven’t actually registered. We don’t have a complete team determined. And the car is subject to change. Other than that, we are sooo doing this race!

Great car idea, but isn’t a Aero Saab 9000 worth a bit more than $500. I’m planning to do LeMons in August in a 1991 Mercedes 300TE Wagon and I’m a bit worried that the value is gonna break the rules.

Mike, this one doesn’t have a title, etc. It’s also in pretty rough shape, it’s not uncommon to find them in this price range. I would think you would be fine with the 300TE–hell someone used a newer gen Protege and won the Thunderhill one and the wheels alone were worth more than $500.

Ah. The Merc I’m gonna pick up also doesn’t have a title. Infact it has mushrooms growing in the trunk, and the seats, carpets, and headliner are rotting too.
