86redturboz's 1986 C/S Daytona Turbo Z - Nomination

[86redturboz]

Since she's all shiny and sparkling now I figured I'd throw in my car for nomination. It's a 1986 Turbo Z C/S, red with balck leather and t-tops. She has 112,XXX original miles on her and runs like a dream. Fully optioned, everything still works and the t-tops do not leak!!! I've owned her for going on 3 years now and have done the following to her:
New head gasket and timing belt upon purchase
New rebuilt A-525 tansmission
New front wheel bearings
Replaced intermediate shaft and driver side half-shaft (after rebuilt tranny was put in, never sheered the splines before, so that was new to me, lol)
Installed a MP Stage 2 logic module
New paint in 2008
Added 15" tires/ wheels from a GLH-T I bought a couple months ago, wheels are Excel ?!? (idk, they look cool to me :D) and Tires are Toyo Proxies 4
Various dress up pieces such as strut mount covers, Lebaron woodgrain dash, 84 style steering wheel, painted valve cover and air box.

I owned a N/A base 86 Chrysler Laser in college and loved that car, just didn't care for how slow it was. I always loved the style of the 1st gen Daytona's and alwayd vowed if I came across a decent one I'd buy it. This car has spent it's whole life in WNY (I am the 2nd owner), I have a TON of receipts and literature on this car, and even the original window sticker!
Here's some new pics:

I'll see what I can do, my friend that was with me is an amatuer photographer and took a bunch of pics, don't know if he got that one. That is one of my favotites though!

I love this one too. How 'bout as many '86 CS cars as we can get? June will be '86 CS month!!! Too nice.

Wish I still had mine I'd throw it in the mix.

Wow, your car looks great. I like the rims on it too. Gotta love the 1st gen Daytona's.

[J&H Ryan]

Awesome car - my new background at work!

[86redturboz]

Thanks everyone. It's taken 3 long years to get here where she is today :). Probably be 3 more until I get her exactly where I want her to be, and by then I'll have new plans/ aspirations, lol.

They say Excel on the centercaps, not really sure about much else. They are 15x6 with universal mounts. They are actually in pretty rough shape (the pics are very decieving) so I bought Enkei PKR's for the car and those rims are back on my GLH.

That car looks awesome!
