I'm fed up with my Wastelands Warrior Caliber SRT4 taking so long at the body shop, so I picked up an older brother to him for some playtime: 1987 Dodge Shelby CSX. Number 339 of 650. Hopefully will pick it up this weekend. :)

I had a brand new 1984 Dodge Charger 2.2 with a 5-speed/ aluminum wheels and Goodyear Eagle GT tires. Back then it was faster than a Z/28 (305 with 140 hp). I bought the Shelby computer along with the H.O. exhaust (chrome oval tip) and it ran like a little raped ape (not too big) plus it was getting 34 mpg. LOL with this, it looks in really good shape.

I think you meant "84" Charger 2.2, right? :) I always dug the FWD 80s Dodges, so I said "Why not?" This one is a show winner and has an interesting history, plus has a ton of good mods, so it should be fun. :)

Ha...don't know about that. I put Ricers and Eurotrashers in my crosshairs first. F-bods of any year still get props from me. :)

Nice! I can't remember the last time I saw one of those on the road - in so nice shape no less.

A buddy of mine had an 89 Shelby Daytona that ran pretty good, probably a low 15 second car as it was new.

I always liked Daytonas, very cool body style.

Nice clean car Bob. You gonna keep it that way?

A girlfriend of mine in college had a 91 or 92 turbo Daytona. quick little car, but it defined torque steer, awful lol. But it had all the same parts as the earlier year shelbys, like bigger brakes. Made getting some parts for it a pain sometimes.

And all Chrysler cars then were k-car derivatives lol, even the mini vans.

I was completely kidding when I said that, but I thought it did look like one. I didnt know all the vehicles were derivatives.

Yo Bonz,

The only stuff I'm going to look into for the car is an LSD unit to help w/ torque steer, and maybe do some suspension work. The car has enough work done to it that it is running high 12s, so I don't need any more juice in the power department. But the guy is throwing in a built 2.5 in the deal, so if I decide I need more power I'll just deal with that engine.

It looks like there are quite a few vendors for these cars, and a pretty good aftermarket. So, hopefully no probs will be had there.

And yeah, guess it is a K car cousin.

I never would have guessed it was that fast

It looks great, congrats. I need to read a bit about these cars, I didn't realize they had so much potential.

Basically it comes down to an efficient turbo system. The early 2.2 engines weren't exactly high tech, as they were only a 2 valve per cylinder SOHC design. By the time Dodge came out w/ the SRT4 Neons in 03 they really had their 4 cyl program down.

Bob, I got to get a ride in that thing!
Last year at Laguna Se a, it was the year of the Shelby, so almost everything he's ever touched was there. Well, while walking through the market area, I saw an original GLH, 80's tastic rims and all. I wanted that thing more then the Cobra sitting next to it :D
