Looking to trade my 88' shadow ES for an 89-90 turbo mini. The shadow has no engine or tranny, the paint is peeling and looks ugly but it is almost rust free. Only spot is the classic P body spare tire well hole, which I welded a piece of sheet metal in and undercoated. Cleanest underbody I've ever seen on a turbo dodge. It has a walbro 255 fuel pump in the tank, and it was the first time I put one it where I didn't get metal rust pieces in my face and also the clamps actually worked instead of rusted shut and having to cut them off LOL.
Anyway, looking for a turbo mini for trade. Would prefer an 89', but whatever.
Located near Harrisburg, PA.

Forgot to mention it has a 3'' exhaust system on it as well, no cat and a Ultraflow SS muffler at the end. I have to cut off the downpipe though as it has a custom V-band downpipe that I'll need to use with any vehicle I get and pretty much no one else would be able to use.
This would make an excellent drag car, but can be made a decent driver. It has 6.5'' crabs from a shelby Z, with 205/50 tires with 40% tread. I also have the big swaybar from the shelby Z to throw in as well if wanted.
Interior is in OK shape. Seats are in excellent condition, but headliner is saggy and it's missing a few plastic trim pieces here and there. Has power locks but manual windows. Has a factory infinity CD player but only the rear speakers work. But the CD player, exhaust, and walbro fuel pump are worth several hundred dollars alone.
EDIT-Forgot to mention it has brand new air shocks in the rear as well. I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting too.

I do not wish to part the car out, may be willing to sell whole but then I wouldn't have a TD to put my engine and trans in so I don't know.

I wanted to add, I'm not necessarily looking for a straight up trade, I understand that with no engine and trans my shadow may not be worth the same as what you got. So I can add cash, or some more parts to top it off.
I will also entertain trades for a daytona (any year), but I really want a mini.

Is anybody interested in the car if I put it up for sale? I found a nice spirit that I'm interested in but need to get rid of the shadow shell first.
Somebody throw me an offer!

Hoagie had an 89 turbo van (http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13868) that he was trying to sell a while back...

Matt...my brother has a black '90 Caravan ES in Frederick, MD that he may be getting rid of. It may actually go as a roller. It's fairly nice...no rust, paint is in decent shap, etc. Want me to ask about it?

Pat, PM me some more details, price and possible trades? I'm interested in a roller more than anything cuz I got an engine and trans ready to pop in. Thanks

Not me. Too much stuff as it is.

But the engine and trans are out ready for you to make another T3 P body?
Hehe, kinda thought you wouldn't have room in that driveway, pretty crammed as it is LOL.

Thats OK. Honestly I'm more interested in a roller because then I don't have to pull the engine and trans, and then I don't have to get rid of them either.

Holy poop!

Perhaps this explains why I'm seeing less and less sub $500 cars on craigslist.

Also a good reason why junkyards have way less 80's cars too. I went to 4 yards friday, 2 of them had 0 FWD 80's dodge's, 1 had 3 shadows (1 turbo, 1 TBI, 1 V6), and the last junkyard had a couple V6 shadows and lebarons.
