Description:
93 European export RT (Badged Chrysler Daytona Shelby RT)
Car was ordered in NY by Chrysler Corp. employee for delivery to Belgium where they worked long term. The car was in their ownership until 2007. Car has travelled to many countries with the original owner, including returning to NY in 2004, before being shipped to the UK. In 2007 the original owner ended their time working in Europe and returned the US. He sold the car locally and I bought it 12 months later.
The car has been meticulously mechanically maintained from new. Full history from dealer order to today. Covered 54,000 miles.
Things to note:
- Head is cracked in the normal spot, not repaired as it doesn't cause me any issue.
- Lacquer to hood and door window frames shot.
- Small dent to front left fender and right hand door - both small half inch vertical dents from something knocking the body by the looks of it. Graze to lower left corner of front bumper. Rest of the paint/body is very good.
- Wheels have light corrosion around rim and could do with refurb to make them perfect.
I'll get the lacquer, dents and wheels sorted over the winter if I still own it.
Options I can think of off the top of my head:
Light Quartz leather, 12 way electric seat, CD changer, illuminated visors, elec mirrors, factory alarm. The car is totally unmodified.
There are a few pictures here - Ralf Scott - pbase please keep in mind these are from 2008, the day I collected the car.
None of the above really matters, however, because if you want a Euro spec top model turbo mopar, you won't find many others!
Also going in the container will be an entire 87z, in pieces, for free!
Please keep in mind the car is in the UK, will need to be shipped and has no American title.

It would be cool to see on the Wheeler Dealers show

They are in California now, I see them at Cars And Coffee sometimes, not sure if they are buying or just looking. I suspect most of their fodder will come from Craigslist.
Bump!

Which car does not have an American title? Or is it both the R/T and the Shelby Z?
Re: 1993 Chrysler Daytona Shelby RT (Dodge Daytona IROC RT)
Out of curiosity, does the RT have AC? Only Daytona's I've ever seen that don't are Canadian/European market cars...

:faint: Please do not do my car the injustice of suggesting it should go on Wheeler Dealers!!

Neither. The RT was first registered in Belgium. I'm not sure if it was registered in NY when it was there in 2004, I suspect not, but I could check.
The Z is there if someone wants to take it with the RT, you may remember reading my project log on it when I was doing the chassis work, sure I remember talking to you... anyway, that is a US car that came here with a USAF serviceman, so it would have had a US title, but I certainly don't have it. I lost heart with that project when all the bespoke running gear was stolen. It has a seam welded chassis with various other strengthening work to the front bulkhead (Firewall?) front cross member, suspension turrets, k-frame mounts etc. I never got to finishing the stiffening work at the back end. Also has a modified/stiffened K-frame which is fully TIG seam welded with stainless and some subtle alterations to improve its rigidity.

Oh yeah! I remember that! You put reinforcements all across the firewall, etc. and we were talking about ways to increase the structural rigidity of the chassis. Man, I'm sorry to hear about the stuff being stolen. I know how you feel. (long story, but I lost about $5k worth of TM parts to thieves)

I kind of like those front amber park lights...

Car was put back into storage yesterday. I can be contacted over the winter. It's likely to be sold here by auction in either April or June 2016 if not.
