The Index of Effluency, given to the team that accomplishes the most with the most terrible “race car,” is considered the true top trophy in 24 Hours of LeMons racing. This time, the long-suffering Property Devaluation team finally piloted their oft-repaired Fairmont wagon to a glorious 22nd-place finish.

Four door and four eyed Foxes FTW.
Man, I just love seeing Murilee's LeMons updates on TTAC...
And FWIW, team Property Devaluation is run by one of the coolest dudes on the planet. While I may be saying that because he speaks the same Fox language as myself, there's no doubt they deserve this victory.
I'm glad they finally figured out why they were blowing windsor V8s all the time, now that the motor is sorted, they are gonna be a forced to be reckoned with. This is my prediction.
My dear mother had a '79 Zephyr sedan in fecal brown, with light brown vinyl benches. The frequent overheating was because it was shipped from the factory with the wrong radiator. When mom would drive me to school, it would stall at the top of the same hill on a left turn onto a busy street, every morning without fail, leaving mom cranking it over while blocking two traffic lanes. The daily stall was the only thing it did reliably. It was the ugliest vehicle ever made, one of those exercises in right angles that results when a kindergartner draws a car. I wish I had it back.
My family had a 1982 Ford Granada wagon *only year it was a Granada* with the 232 CI V6. That was my first car and when it was running, it ran like a champ. Much like every one else who has owned one, boy do I miss it. I am very very happy to see that people are still running these cars! Well Done Team Property Devaluation!!!!!
