[V]

when i was 16, and my friend turned 17, he got a 91 black es, v6 auto, i loved riding in that car, we caused some much havoc back then, well that car got t-boned and totalled. All in all it was my first real experiences with cars.

in 1998, while rocking my caddy STS, i saw a friend of a friend with a white 89 shelby. 5spd turbo II(intercooled). i imediately wanted it. i started talking to him about the car and turned out he wanted to get rid of it. it so happened i had a built 84 z28 i no longer wanted. we decided just to trade cars, an even swap. it was perfect. the day before we were gonna swap titles, he sold it. but he ended buying my z28 still. We became good friends then and hes currently one of my 2 best friends still. however, i still bitch at him about selling it... lol

then in '01, i came across and bought an 84 turbo z daytona just as a beater, close to the 89 and 91, but still not exactly, it was 5spd, non-intercooled turbo, and sunroof. i later sold it when the head gasket went.

few months later, i found a red/gray '87 with a rebuilt motor, 5spd ttops, intercooled, for cheap with clutch and other issues. i grabbed it. after messing with starters clutch cables and rust, i gave up. parted it out, i still have the ttops to this day.

Since then ive always had an eye out for a shelby z or shelby daytona w/ttops 5spd and turbo II motor.

84-86 were a lil different body style cool, but not too sleek. called turbo z
87-88 were "shelby z" models
89-91 were just "shelby"
90-91 had updated interior/dash
92-93 were called iroc & iroc r/t's. they had fixed headlights and more rounded bodies which i dont like.


if i pick up the 87 i found on ebay... it needs paint so a quick maaco job will do, itd become white/gray, and id do the jams myself eventually.
currently, it lookes identical to the 87 i had, red/gray.
it also has a 2.5l motor swapped in, srt4 intercooler, performance ecu, boost controller, 3" turbo back, lowered...
