List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
While reading Ralph Scott's post of finding the last Electric Blue Iroc R/T (now having them all accounted for except for one that was stolen in 02 :( ), I began to wonder, what would the list look like of the rarest turbo Mopars produced? The old school Mopar guys have those lists of the rarest 'Cuda, Challenger packages, etc. so I'm curious as to what a list of our style of cars would look like when broken down into the rarest.....
Of course, the blue Iroc R/T's would be close atop the list since only 8 were made in that color combo. Anyone want to give a shot at listing the rarest cars in order, #'d car or not? I guess we can throw prototypes in on this too, but do it in a separate list. The list should be based on rarity in terms of least # produced with certain options, etc. I post this up because I'd like to see input from those of you knowledgeable on the other various cars, such as Daytonas, Le Barons, Spirit R/Ts, Shelby Chargers, etc.
Here's a start, if I may: (Iroc R/T numbers used from Ralph Scott's website)
2 1989 CSX's w/ wide tire&non-recaro option
3 1990 Chrysler Le Baron GTC-VNT's w/Mini Trip, Infinity II/CD, Black, convt.
8 1993 Electric Blue Iroc R/T's
15 1989 CSX's w/ wide tire&recaro option
17 1993 White Iroc R/T's
21 1990 Dodge Daytona VNT's with AGS option
31 1992 Silver Spirit R/T's
32 1993 Red Iroc R/T's
34 1993 Black Iroc R/T's
60 1992 Black Iroc R/T's
75 1992 White Iroc R/T's
90 1993 Emerald Green Iroc R/T's
115 1992 Red Iroc R/T's
208 1989 Dodge Lancer Shelby's
255 1990 Chrysler Le Baron GTC-VNT's
279 1988 Dodge Lancer Shelby's
500 1986 Shelby GLHS Omni's
500 1989 Shelby CSX-VNT's
750 1987 Shelby CSX's
800 1987 Shelby Lancer's
1000 1987 Shelby GLHS Charger's
1000 1988 Shelby CSX-T's
1500 1989 Shelby Dakota's
? in red, ? in white
? 1990 Dodge Shadow VNT's (2 dr)
? 1990 Dodge Shadow VNT's (4 dr)
Prototypes:
2? 90 CSX prototypes in Bonzai Blue
3? 86 Shelby Lancer Prototypes
Hans Herman Head GLHS Omni
Hopefully we can come up with a good list that everyone agrees on and we can narrow down the rarest of the rare :)

21 - 1990 Daytona VNT AGS
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
^^^^^^^
Forgot about the 90 C/S VNT
I have a friend in Seattle that brought one back from NY.
He has a friend in Tacoma that has one
Rare cars!
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
I'd imagine a VNT Shadow 4-door has to be toward the top of the list.
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
what about factory '86 glhs w/ rollcage
and didn't one get a sunroof also
of course one '86 hans herman head caged glhs also
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
Forgot about the 1990 Daytona VNT AGS cars, nice one Josh!
As well as the 1990 VNT Shadows (I know I've seen a breakdown on those before in color somewhere haven't I?)
Bruce, not sure about those GLHSs you mention (other than the Hans Herman one), so perhaps someone else can chime in?
This is exactly what I wanted to see - others pointing out additional cars like this. Keep it coming guys! I'll update the initial post as more information is collected. :D It'll be cool to see which vehicles would be ones to :hail: if found or picked up :clap:
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
I seem to remember that there were 15 '89 CSX's with both the wide tire and recaro options. A friend of mine has owned two himself...one was totalled (a bone stock, perfect, 17k mile car) the other is sitting in storage.
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
0 1988 factory turbo 2-door 5-speed k cars ;) hehe

Pat, that's listed.
Bucar, lol....
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
Color combos shouldn't be included as "rarest" models produced at all along with leather seats, or what stereo it had. If hat were the case, there would be alot of one of one cars out there right now.
Years ago, I did the research on the VNT Shadows via DC. They told me there were no color breakdowns in their book, so am not sure where others aregetting the color info from.
141 VNT Shadows in '90, and 30 were competition package models. The 4 door cars supposedly were "none" wen talking to the woman's boos those years ago. He wasn't supposed to talk to the public, but I managed to talk to him for 2 minutes and that's what he told me. Then again, he had no idea there were T-IV's in P-bodies until the book showed the stats.
As far as the '90 VNT production #s.... we have:
VNT 4-door P-body
AGS VNT Daytona
VNT Lebarron convertibile
VNT Shadow comptition package
VNT Shadow ES
VNT Lebarron
VNT Daytona Shelby
Pretty much in order of production #s and the last... the VNT Daytona Shelby there were still just 540 produced.
Color breakdowns... Red and black are the most popular. If I broke down my competition package VNT Shadow that is red, then let's say it's a one of 13. No rear defrost, 9. No trunk or even a hood light, 3. No power amenities whatsoever 1 of 2. I am sure I could think of something to get it to one of one. But SILVER! I have only seen on FS online years ago. I think it was a CP car as well. Red, black, white and silver were the colors they could come in. I knew someone with a white VNT ES Shadow.
Anyone know how many turbo woody wagons were made? I always wanted one to make a sleeper out of. Close to 1,000?
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
Curious how export cars would fit in ?? Certainly a Chrysler Phantom R/T or Chrysler IROC R/T would be fairly rare .
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
1 1988 CSX-T with Sunroof... The legendary one given to the daughter of the president of Thrifty Rental Cars
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
what about Alan's red/black 87 GLHS. only one of its kind if i remember?
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
I know Franks Daytona is rare. The 1991 Daytona Shelby was only produced 1/2 year...of those I was never able to obtain production numbers...but I do know I have seen very few 1991 White/White Pumpers (was)...and even fewer with black leather interior completely loaded with factory sunroof and all the bells and whistles.

You must be talking about Colin Young. I call him my "cousin" 'cause we have the same last name, but we aren't actually related. :lol:
He has bought two C/S VNTs from back east, then he bought mine when I sold it to him, then he bought a wrecked one that Rob Walsh had, when I told him Rob had it.
So Colin has 4 '90 AGS C/S VNT Daytonas:
I believe that this is the color breakdown he has:
1 White
2 Red
1 Blue(my old car)
The friend of his that had one in Tacoma, is my friend Aaron, and I traded Aaron an '87 Shelby Z T-Top 5spd with 76K on it, for the C/S back in '03. Aaron also has a '90 Shelby VNT that he is wanting to sell.
Here are a few pics: (best time at the track on a bleed to 11-ish psi was 15.2ish @88 or so, I forget exactly, but I have the time slip somewhere, lol.)

Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
Cool thread. Is there any way that we can get production numbers for the cars anymore? I have read that when Diamler came in they through out a lot of the info?
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
90 cs vnt (ags option) There were 36 cars built according to the 90 production sheet for the US market. (the production sheet is online - yahoo groups, vnt something or other (can't remember)). I have no idea how many were built as chryslers and neither did chrylser canada when I contacted them (export - canadian cars). I have a red one and I knew of another one in Ontario.
Re: List the Rarest Turbo-Mopars...
I owned one of the 2 89 CSX VNT cars and sold it just last year to a Shelby Collector in NJ. I still have one of the window stickers from it.
