Looking for a Lemons Car

Preferably Toyota/ Honda (We know those product lines best).

Ideally 22r Powered Toyota. But definitely something that has the ability to be driven on a track for 4 hours on 1 tank of fuel (hopefully not a huge tank).

I've got a few prospects now, but don't like any of them.

Late 80's Volvo Wagon 5 Cylinder 5 Speed suffered from a tree fall
I just don't know anything about fixing these, only 1 guy on the team has any Volvo Experience and he says he'll quit if we get it (too unreliable).
Late 80's Jag XJ V12 Auto
Again, I just don't know anything about these things. And WAY to much Fuel. Anybody?


Edit:
For those that don't know about Lemons

Think you could talk this owner down? The 4A isn't half bad, but I'd take the thermostat out just in case. Speaking of which, do you have to count the cost of the gas to get the car or not? If this one is driveable it might be a better bet. Is Texas too far?
