A mousetrap has a strong spring that can hold a lot of energy. However it can only move through an arc of 180 degrees. So the challenge is to gear up that movement so that the half turn is several hundred turns of the wheel.
Here is a design.

AHAHAHAHA I had to do this last year XDD
Get some wheels and put them on dowles on the car. Make sure they move really easilly so you might want to put some candle wax on the dowles.
take a piece of string, tie it to the end of a looonnng dowel and put the other end of the stick to the metal piece of the trap that snaps closed. then toe the end of the sting to the back wheel "axel". Twist the string around the back wheele, , pull back the metal snapper and letter rip!!!
Also, try googling "Mousetrap Car" and it'll give you a load of nifty ideas :]

For a decent ar to be made out of those materials, you will need a prayer and a miracle!
