Daytona's Rule!

One thing is  missing from the picture you posted. Mainly a Daytona. Although both of the Chargers in the picture look great.

[BigBlockSam]

what no wing?

[69_500]

Is that a 67 and a 87 Charger in that picture? I don't see a Daytona at all.

[Todd Wilson]

I thought that was the 2.2 Daytona from the 80's!

Well look at it this way you got replies to your thread.

I believe it is a 1987 Shelby Charger. I don't think they did the Shelby Daytona in that body style. I think that it was in 1989 or 1990. Then came the IROC Daytona's and IROC R/T Daytona's.

It is a good looking photo though. I'm guessing it was done for a 30th anniversary for the Charger or something along those lines. Is that a 66 or a 67 in the background? To me it looks like a 67 but I'm a second gen fan so I don't pay as much attention to the details on those.

That particular car is either an '83 or '84 Shelby Charger (note the 4 lug wheels and no turbo-bulge hood).  "Shelby" Daytonas were made from '87-'91.  87 and 88's were Daytona Shelby Z's, and 89-91's were Daytona Shelby's.

Perhaps it's a trick; note the apostrophe after Daytona making it possesive instead of plural. I did enjoy seeing a nice 83 or 84 SC. I really miss mine and wish I hadn't sold it. Without being able to see the taillights I can't tell and 83 from an 84.

Yea same here...even a pic of the interior would help determine if it was 83 or 84.

It's kind of hard to tell from that far away but I think the 1st gen in the original pic is a 66.  67 would have turn signal indicators incorporated into the chrome trim at the leading edge of the fenders.  It doesn't look like that car has it.

you must be right about that car

[Ghoste]

That's what I was thinking too Natch!  I was also kind of glad to see a little discussion about those cars.  They may not be held in the same light as the 68-70 models but it's nice to see something about them.

[greenpigs]

The turbo 4 cars from the 80's have a place also because if it wasn't for them what else was there to chose from then?

And they're the last of the 2-door Chargers.

Haha thanks for bringing up my sig!  I haven't posted here in a while and I sold my Lancer, so I have to take that out.

[daytonalo]

I SHOWED THIS CAR TO MY GRANDMA AND SHE WANTS TO BUY ONE , GO FIGURE SHES 95 !

[Headrope]

I'd love to have one of those. The little things can be pretty damned quick once set up to do so.

"The turbo 4 cars from the 80's have a place"

I agree, but the Shelby in the photo is not a turbo car. At least it wasn't built as one. You haven't lived until you've replaced a clutch in a five speed L-body. The starters are a joy too, especially on the turbo cars.

[Ghoste]

Ain't that the truth!  I remember doing it for a girlfriend in the mid 80's thinking it'd be an afternoon job.  It was a couple of afternoons.

[Drache]

I had an '84 2.2 Litre Turbo Daytona! I miss driving the car but never could get it running right after something went wrong with it without doing a total rebuild on the motor. So since I only paid $400 for it, it got put out to pasture and will become a parts car once I find another one worth it.

Man, that's for sure. When I had to replace a starter in one, I was actually cussing out whoever the designer was that was responsible for putting the starter where they did.

[69_500]

I know that I really enjoyed the 87 Shelby GLHS #208 that I owned. I loved the FWD cars Dodge had back then, also loved all 3 of the Spirit R/T's and 3 IROC R/T Daytona's I've had as well.
