Cessna plane remade into junkyard racer

Amateur racing driver Jeff Bloch is set to cause a stir at his next race meet after creating a 'junkyard' racer from a 1987 Toyota minivan and a 1956 Cessna 310 light aircraft.

Named the 'Spirit of LeMons' in homage to the iconic Spirit of St. Louis aircraft - the first solo flight to fly non-stop from New York to Paris - the unusual competition car is designed to partake in the '24 Hours of LeMons', a race series in which entrants are limited to a $500 budget to build their creation.
