I can't believe I'm doing this, BUT I feel like I'm not treating this car like it deserves to be treated, and I'd rather have an un-numbered car to play with than a numbered car that I feel guilty daily driving.
The good about the car:
1987 Shelby CSX #76
- All Shelby items intact except for windshield sticker (see below) and Mobil1 sticker
- Just under 170K miles, but motor rebuilt approximately 40K miles ago (by previous owner) with JE Forged Pistons and a Forged TII Crank
- Mopar Performance Logic Module
- JoeP Manual Boost Controller set to 14psi
- 1G DSM Blow-off Valve
- 2.5" cat-less Exhaust with a Dynomax Bullet muffler
- 1 small rust spot in the driver's floorboard, otherwise the body and chassis is rust-free
- On Centurion IIs that have been stripped and are ready to be polished and cleared
- Daily driven for the past 9 months since I purchased in Chicago and drove back home.
The bad:
- Front seats are ripped, as is typical for these cars. I do have another CSX with very good seats that I could swap out if this is a deal breaker.
- Windshield is VERY cracked in one line from driver's side to passenger side. In states with an inspection, this will have to be replaced.
- Paint is rough on the roof and hatch lid
- Turbo is beginning to whine and will soon need replacing. I have a Garrett T3 that was rebuilt about 2500 miles ago that came off my old Omni and has no shaft play that could be swapped.
- Car has started running quite rich in the past 2 months and sucks down gas like crazy (avg 15mpg), but strangely still still runs quite well, and especially well when you get on it (it's not rich in boost, just at cruise) I'm going to check the fuel pressure tomorrow, and I have a 3-wire O2 sensor waiting to go in it, I just haven't had a chance to do it yet.
- Power Steering leak, partially due to a broken ear on the mounting bracket. Honestly, an easy fix, I just haven't gotten one yet.
OK, what I'm looking for is one of 3 or 4 different models/cars. I'd like a Lancer Shelby (preferably non-numbered) or Lebaron, a T-II Daytona, a T-II Shelby Charger or (and I'd love one of these) a Spirit R/T. This is a daily driver for me, and whatever I would trade for would also need to be a daily driver as well. I'd like to see this go to somebody who wants a numbered car and wants to restore it, though it wouldn't really be up to me.
If interested, please post or PM me. Thanks.
