Sold My GLHS Shelby Charger I have owned for 21 years now

[moparstuart]

I have been trying to sell the car for a bout 6 months and My son quintin got a hit from one of his FWD Mopar boards and we sold the car.
Buyer fedex'ed a bank check right out over night and has bought the car just from pictures . Soon as the check clears he will send a transport for the car.
The car is going to stamford connecticut. Its a low miles surviver drivers condition car. Quintin and I went out tonight to my mothers house and dug it ouot of storage. . Now i have inside storage for my 69 charger WOO HOO 

[moparstuart]

  it has 45 k miles on it and driver like brand new , this little car handle like its on rails and goes like hell somemore .

[moparstuart]

 

[moparstuart]

  all the shelby specific tags

[moparstuart]

 

[moparstuart]

  got it all out and running ,ready to take her back home for the last time

[moparstuart]

   dodge charger decal  , my local club HPAC and my TDC decals , it has a plaque signed and numbered on the dash number 536 of 1000 made in 87 

[moparstuart]

  everything is completely stockon this car ,no modes ever done to it . Runs like a top ,A/C doesnt work and the radio has those hard buttons like all of them from that ERA .

 Has a few parking lot dings her and there , Has a few paint chips and issues but over all a nice driver survivor . The hood has a nice bump and a great view . The turbo is intercooled and  just screams on this baby throws you back in the seat when it kicks in.

I like that dash cluster...looks like it would be a bolt in for my 88 Shadow....

Might have to find one and see

I just sold my 66 Dart convertible that we owned since 1990....was kinda hard to see it drive off

if you look the speedo goes to 125 but that part is a decal  LOL , Kinda cheap like a road runner .
I sure it hasnt hit me yet the loss of this car, when it gets loaded on the transport i'm sure it wwill be like loosing a part of the family . But i just  dont get a chance to drive it and need the funds in this economy to restore the other projects i have.

[moparstuart]

  got it home and cleaned out 20 years of paper work and stuff . Then took it up for some premium gas .

[moparstuart]

 :drool5:one less charger but we still have three

My speedo in the Shadow only goes to 85....like the stoopid little car can go that fast.

The Dart being gone hit us about a day later after it left....and like you, we never drove the Dart anymore...it had to go to fund other items...like maybe my back surgery.....or funeral plot in case surgery fails

Find an 89 turbo shadow cluster. I believe they go to 125.
However if your car is tach-less, you will have a lot of work to get the factory tach going.

Q....my Shadow has factory tach in dash cluster...the only gauge missing is oil pressure...has "idiot light" for that

[moparmoynihan]

Awesome!! I saw that car for sale on the turbo dodge forum. I have my red Shelby Daytona T-top on there for sale as well. I'm actually looking for a Glhs Charger or Omni. I have to have one, its just one of them things. Small world, really nice unmolested car!

yes i have always kept it garaged and last night cleaning it out realized the spare well is spotless and the spare has never been on the car .

[PocketThunder]

That is a sweet ride.  Which project car of yours will get the proceeds?

cuda ken's old ride would be my guess , but in this economy i think i will hang on to the cash alittle while for peace of mind .   

[DC_1]

What did it go for if you don't mind me asking?

[moparstuart]

 I was able to get my full asking price , other wise it really wasnt worth it for me to sell.  Thats all i have to say about that .    Definalty a premium for a driver quality car but most of these cars are rusted beyond belief in the floor pans and underside.  As i said this car has always been garaged .

[moparmoynihan]

Yes 66chargerkid, the one wth the bad turbo is mine. Good eyes man!

[moparstuart]

Yes 66chargerkid, the one wth the bad turbo is mine. Good eyes man!

He is a FWD turbo Mopar freak , He loves this little charger and it has created a monster .    He may even cry when it leaves .

count on it.
As for that Daytona, Maybe my old man can trade you some charger parts for that red car and bandage the wound left behind from the absense of what was supposed to be my inheritence.
BTW I am turbokid on the other sites.

I had a '86 Turbo 4 door Lancer in high school. Was a quick little bugger for what it was. It had a 3 speed tranny so 105mph was about it. I think it had about 120K on it when we got rid of it. I also drove one of those early Turbo 600's that talked to you until it overheated one day when my brother in law borrowed it.

Later I looked at a blue and silver Shelby but it was already beat on pretty good way back in the early 90's.

We ended up with a red 1990 3.0 V6 Daytona ES. That would do 125mph and gave my sister's 1987 IROC Z 350tpi a serious run for its money.

just a word of advice. on any internet deal make sure that check has cleared for several weeks before shipping that car off. as a police officer im aware of several scams where the check will "clear" then weeks later the bank will say that it really wasnt any good and will make you pay back the money. by that time the guy is long gone with the car.
id hate to see you get ripped off!

My bank went on line and put there bank routeing numbers in and verified it has cleared , They also called citibank . It is all good and on the up and up.  But thanks for the advice , i've never done this before ( I usually never sell my cars )     You hear so many nightmares about scammers and fake checks .

I forgot you even had it. I been wanting to buy one of those since the early '90's when I had the regular turbo Shelby Charger's. I have never seen a GLHS in person yet. Wish I knew you were selling it. I'd been all over it.

[moparmoynihan]

My Shelby Daytona is still forsale. I want nowhere near what I have in it. No thanks on the Charger parts. I need the cash more at this point. Johnny

  My buddy le's 83 shelby very first years he has owned since new .i

[Nacho-RT74]

I found those cars pretty much interesting. They were never produced or officially imported down here. I don't think would get one either, dunno, but very interesting cars for sure anyway.

I think they were rated one of the fastest 4 cilinders cars ever made back in 80s ?
