That car was built to run in the 24 Hours of LeMons. That’s basically a racing series for old, beat-to-hell cars (max budget excluding safety equipment is $500, with lap penalties assessed for going over) and you stand a much better chance of getting your entry accepted if you decorate your old crapcan.
