I have for sale a hardtop charcoal 1987 Daytona Shelby Z T2/A-555 car in North Carolina. I know I dont have many posts here, I usually post on Turbododge. I have a good feedback rating there that can be viewed, my username is the same on both sites
I picked this up earlier in the year and was going to use it for a daily driver, but I have too many projects and picked up another car so I need to sell this one. This is a rock solid, rot free car (as can be seen in the pics) that runs very well. It's the charcoal gray color that as far as I know was only used in 87, and even then just on high line Daytona's. When I bought it the interior was a mess, I took out the seats and carpet and cleaned it all up. The floors are just as solid on top as they are underneath.
The good
T2/A-555 runs strong, shifts good
Rock solid, not a rotbox, pans and rockers in great shape
8-way power enthuseist seats THAT WORK!
Complete gray cloth interior/ charcoal gray exterior
New(er) turbo I swapped the compressor housing from the blown turbo to a good T1 I got off the forums
2.25 Exhaust all the way back
2 good kum-ho ecsta ast 225-50-15 on back
New headgasket, replaced when head was pulled to swap turbo
Aftermarket blow off valve
6.5" Crab wheels
Replaced cylinder head with one that was planed (.020") Cleaned and had a 3 angle valve job
new axles installed at same time as head with new composite gasket and bolts
The bad:
Needs a real exhaust, I cobbled up a system out of pieces I had lying around and a glasspack.
Drivers Enthuseist is ripped on the seatback in a couple locations will need to be re-upholstered along with rear seat
rear wiper arm grommet missing (Mopar P/N 5027551AA), previous owner sealed off with some goop
Needs front tires, has Goodyear (melt down 365 used condoms and call it a good year) eagle-something dry rotted 205-50-15's on the front
Needs hinge pin bushing on the drivers door
passenger door needs window scraper
No intake airbox
radio circuit needs to be looked at, I put a radio in and it worked for 10 seconds, maybe just a junk radio
Shifter lock-out broken
Clear coat peeling on hood and roof
All in all I like this car and would like to keep it, but a 2.4 hybrid GLH is a more pressing project right now. At the moment its just about complete but the console is out along with the associated trim while I decide what to do with the shifter. As I am "retired" right now I can assist with delivery within about 400-500 miles of Charlotte N.C. Started it when I took the pics, fires right up and drives. Thanks for looking, feel free to call with any questions you may have 704/460/8128
Thanks, Chris
