Goodrich Radial T/A's on the back around 5/32" tread, additionally (1) full size 15x6 Pumper rim with a 195/60/15 Goodyear Eagle GT+4 tire mounted in the spare tire compartment.

The Shadow runs great and can be driven anywhere cross country.
The 2.5L and engine compartment has been gone through top to bottom and I have listed what has been done. New FelPro 9296 PermaTorque head gasket and New Felpro head bolts (torqued 45-65-65-1/4 turn), rebuilt 782 TS swirl head with New Mopar Performance “I” & “E” keepers, New Mopar Viton oil seals, New timing belt, New Mopar fuel injectors P/N 4504322 from Cindy (FWD), New exhaust/intake gasket, Copper RTV sealed 2.5” swing valve and turbo hot section to exhaust manifold, New valve cover gasket, New Champion RN12YC’s, New Mobil 1 10W30 w/New Mobil 1 MA-102 oil filter, changed at 148,033, New magnetic oil drain plug, New TU blue silicone oil drain back hose, New OE 192 degree thermostat with drill hole mod, New O2 sensor, New coolant temp sensor, New passenger and front OE motor mounts, New power steering pump, New 4-seasons/climate control valve, New RCL 9004 8000K Halogen/HID bulbs, New H3 fog light bulbs, and more. All the maintenance performed above has recent 250 miles of break-in. Took the Shadow ES to a younger crowd local car meet last night and got lots of looks and compliments. Underneath car pictures speak for themselves, whereas the car was sprayed with under coating when new; E-brake looks good and is solid just surface rust, under doors are solid, under body GFX is solid, there is an area that did rust which is located on the left rear sheet metal panel that attaches where the rear side bumper bracket mounts. Not structural. I have pictures of this area to view if requested. IMO, very easy fix to cut out and clean-up, primer coat and apply sealer with yellow re-spray. Body is extremely straight, only a couple of slight bump dings that are not noticeable from far away, only up close.
Original “TURBO” bulge hood decals, dealer installed red (body line) pin-stripe all the way around. Hood has a slight dent near the Penstar emblem from PO. Not sure what was hit, very minor in my opinion. The lower plastic front grill molding under the right headlight is cracked and pushed in a little. After further inspection, the right side of the grill and the headlight assembly mount got pushed in. The bumper shock mount area underneath on the lower front radiator clip is normal. You can easily remove and install a used “P” body grill and re-paint it yellow.
The Shadow is located on the West Coast in Washington state. PM or email me for phone number if you have any questions or want more info. New owner could fly in and drive home. PRICE IS: $2800. NOT interested in trades. I have plent of hi-res pictures and I will answer any questions to serious inquiries.

Thanks Todd! I was thinking about driving my ES to MPLS to meet you or maybe if you wanted to meet half way, IDK, just thought it would be cool to take pictures of both ES's together at the same time. PM me if your schedule is available in the next week to possibly meet up for a photo op.

Well that leaves one OE Sunlight Yellow ES left, now that Todd's is sold. Fresh Mobil 1 oil change today.

[MeandMyShadow]

TTT. Still for sale, can be driven cross country.

[ATaylorRacing]

Would you trade it for a 77 Chevy Monza with a 350 motor and 350 turbo auto?

[MeandMyShadow]

Sorry, not interested in trades as stated in the last paragraph in post #1.

[Reaper1]

Very nice car! I hope it goes to a good home! :thumb: GLWS! :D

[MeandMyShadow]

Reaper, thanks for your GLWS prop. I am actually south of Olympia for while visiting, lmk if you want to meet maybe during this weekend if your schedule is open. PM me if your schedule works.

[MeandMyShadow]

TTT. The Shadow ran great driving around in 90+ degree weather today passing a couple stranded cars on the side of the freeway. Fly-n-drive home today.

[Reaper1]

Dang it! I knew there was somebody else in the area that I was going to try to meet up with. I just couldn't remember. :( I really apologize.

[MeandMyShadow]

Reaper, no worries. With all the Fourth of July festivities and summer, we get busy. Just pm me if your schedule has any future open dates.

[Reaper1]

Sweetens the deal! :thumb:

[MeandMyShadow]

Yes sir'ee. I have a set of CSX springs I plan on installing later on as well.

[MeandMyShadow]

End of the year price drop, $2800. In the garage all warm. New battery, new alternator, new lift supports for the rear hatch. I drove it maybe twice this year around town and up on I-5.

[ATaylorRacing]

WOW, if only the future ex didn't kick me out of the house, and if I didn't have 3 cars already, and if you were'nt so far away, and if I had an extra bit of cash!

[dwh4784]

Needing to replace one of our two DD's, this is incredibly tempting never thought it would still be available. I may be inquiring soon.

[MeandMyShadow]

dwh4784, noted. I added new red trim inlay tape from positive impressions to the front and rear bumper guards in middle of this year as well, originals were old, peeling, and cracking away. Bringing this ES back to looking stock as the way it did when it left the factory was always my main focus. I do have confirmed travel plans for the holidays, but not too far away, so PM me if you have any questions.

[4 l-bodies]

I can't believe this vehicle never sold. A lot of car for the money! Probably only a handful of yellow ones left and how many are for sale and in this good of condition?
Good car, great owner, maintained well, a no brainer... Someone needs to buy this.
GLWS,
Todd

[wheming]

I know, and an even more amazing price given the condition and care its had over the years.

[MeandMyShadow]

Thanks Todd. Thanks Wayne.

[MeandMyShadow]

New Years Bump. TTT. New K&N air filter and new rear hatch struts. Installing a new T/U billet thermostat housing after flushing the coolant system.

[MeandMyShadow]

Sunlight is still available. TTT

[MeandMyShadow]

Lowering the asking price to $2,500. Will entertain reasonable offers near the asking price. Washed the dust off the Shadow yesterday.

[MeandMyShadow]

PRICE DROP: $2,300. Rainy day Seattle bump. Recent Mobil 1 oil and filter plus new Autolite AP65's.

[ATaylorRacing]

Gee, everytime I get a little money saved up to get the body work done on the Matchbox, or buy a nicer car...I get a divorce!

[MeandMyShadow]

Installed my Black Crinkle finish yellow painted TURBO letter accent valve cover w/new 1-piece gasket. Installed a NOS A/C suction line. New Autolite AP65 plugs.

Seattle Endless Summer price drop: $2100

[wheming]

I do not understand why this great little shadow has not sold.
Would go nicely next to my Dandelion yellow CJ5, IF i had the garage of my dreams...

[4 l-bodies]

Yup,
I just don't understand this either. When I owned mine and when it was at shows, it always drew one of two responses, either people thought it was the ultimate P-body color, or they thought it was the worst color EVER! I was talking to a guy at huge Mopar only show that LOVED the color. He was a Chrysler TC owner. Couldn't stop talking about it. While talking to this guy, another guy staring at vehicle was quite vocal about it being a really hideous color... I thought the two guys were gone start throwing punches at each other (lol).
I'd be willing to bet if this was a 5 spd. car it would have been gone 2 years ago. I'm half tempted to buy it and flip a 523 into it. When I changed my yellow ES to 5 spd, it was like a completely different vehicle. Power was up, mileage was like 5-6 MPG improved on freeway, and it was a heck of a lot more fun to drive. EZ to swap too. Did you ever install the CSX springs Bill? On second thought, maybe that wouldn't work so well with the GR2 front springs? When I owned my 89 ES Shadow and my 88 CSX-T, I always loved the firmer more supportive seats from the 89 ES car, but I preferred the firmer suspension (springs and struts) of the 88 CSX-T
Bump for a steal of a deal! Good luck Bill, It certainly is priced right, and you've done a excellent job maintaining/preserving it.
Todd

[MeandMyShadow]

Todd, thank you for your short Sunlight Yellow story of the color being LOVED or hideous. Trust me, when I drive around I see drivers and passengers staring at the car. If I could listen in to the conversation in their car, I bet they are saying, "Wow that is a nice car" or"Wow, haven't seen a Shadow in years." Last week, a teenage girl and her girl friends passed by me as I walked from my Shadow to go in to a store and she said, "OMG, I had that Shadow as my first car!" I said to myself,"Cool, Dad knew what to buy." I had an 87 Shadow T1 and a 93 3.0L of which were both 5 spds. Blast to drive! Of course the V6 had a bit more power than the 87 2.2 T1. The 93 ES was Black with a champagne interior. Loved that car. I am sure if the Sunlight was a 5 spd, it would have been sold a while back. True to an easy AT to manual swap. Not many Shadows left on the road now days.
Todd, I did not install the CSX springs yet, they are still sitting here in the garage. I replaced the PCV 3-way rubber connector on the valve cover last week with a new OE. They get hot, dry out, crack, leak, and become hard plastic. I will continue to maintain the car as I have always done. Summer is almost done even though we will have a nice 7 day or longer hot spell starting this week here in the PNW, so the Sunroof glass will come off.

[masterjr33]

mainly because im in florida.. is why it doesnt sell.

[MeandMyShadow]

From the top NW corner of the U.S. to the bottom SE corner of the U.S. doesn't get any shorter than that. I picked up a 92 Shelby IROC Daytona from Orlando a few years back and drove to the Wes Coast. Drove the bottom of the U.S. to Cali.

[MeandMyShadow]

Just mounted and balanced a set of (4) new 195/60/15 tires from Discount Tire.

[jrbexhaust]

Hey there. My name is Jessie. I'm friends with Todd Nelson and live close to him. I've seen your car for sale for quite sometime. I am interested in buying it. Do you still have it? I am assuming you do.

I know you've driven it across the country. Other than the weather and roads, do you know of any reason it wouldn't drive to MN?

Please text me at: 763-350-5844.

Its the easiest to contact me.
Thank you.

[MeandMyShadow]

The Shadow is still for sale, however, it was in a fender bender this year. Mainly the drivers front corner and bumper are damaged and can be replaced/repaired. I already have a replacement fender and other parts. I start the Shadow a couple times each week and let it run to operating temperature, I also run it around once a week. Contact me for details and price.

[MeandMyShadow]

$700 obo

[MeandMyShadow]

$500 still starts right up and runs great. Summer lasts until mid to late August around here.

[wheming]

Can we see pics of the damage?

[MeandMyShadow]

I will post sometime during the day today 7/19.

Sold.

Wow Finally! Congrats on finally gettin it sold. Here is a blast down memory lane. The Juicy Fruit twins! Probably the last time two Sunlight Yellow Shadows were seen together since they rolled off the assembly line.
Todd

[MeandMyShadow]

Thanks Todd. I hate this picture...I mean, I miss my sunlight. Just a gorgeous shot of the juicy twins. The Shadow till here is WA. Joe A has it now. Looking to get a Shelby locally or on the West Coast in the near future.
