Alan Quackenbush's old Omni GLHS, I believe a gentleman in Maryland owns it, as he had it out at Carlisle this year.
Alan has had a few 86 GLHS's. The car he had that was "ultra" restored by Todd is now owned by a Detroit area gent. It was at SDAC-18 but not entered in the car show. It was parked in the other lot with a note in the window that said it was "retired from showing".
Was the one at Carlisle the Masi powered one or a different one? (just trying to keep track of them).

Alan has had three of them that I know of.
#276, the overly restored car. Now owned by George in Detroit.
#120, the Masi powered car, now owned by Lee Saunders. He lives in Lakeland, Florida.
The third one he had was a low mileage stocker. He bought it and cleaned up a couple things, and sold it quickly. I don't know what number that car was. I do believe that was sold locally, so thats probably the one that was at Carlisle.

The Masi powered car was at Carlisle.

Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
One more for the Birthday Car! You listed it under 1988 CSX-T but it was the prototype for 1990. What other car was the Cover car of Autoweek with Shelby himself.
I may be prejudice though because that was the first car I helped my dad restore, Lets just say that the ride to Las Vegas for the grand opening of Shelby there was a fun ride!

Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
I searched this thread and didn't come up with what I justsaw 2 post's up. Soo, what ever happened to Slugmobile? I know someone picked it up from his GF to take it to a good home but it's been so long I don't talk to everyone that knows everything anymore.
Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
AFAIK it is in a good home. The new owner posted up on TD not too long ago becuase I think it had a dead fuel pump. IIRC it is in one of the Carolinas...????
I'd personally like to know what happened to Mean Mini!?
Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
Did Wayne Hemmingway sell Slugmobile?
Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
Nope. I just did a search over on TD to find the post...the guy's Name is "Wayne" and the his handle is "wheming". Listed location is East Nowehere, NC. Last he posted that I know of he was looking for a new dirver's side hub assembly, but was having problems finding one becuase it was some oddball size or something. :dunno:

Knowing Gus and his "secret" launching modifications, that isn't suprising. What about the van?

Just stumbled on this thread. Alan's third GLHS is now in Southern CA. Owned by John Laing. Same guy that now owns Charlie William's old Masi powered Rampage.
In the meantime, Allan Quack has probably bought and sold 10 cars since then. For those of you that remember his SC Saleen Mustang at SDAC 17(Pittsburgh). Well that was so yesterday. Many cars have come and gone since then.
I spoke to Lee Saunders recently, yes he had the Masi GLHS at Carlisle. I have to kind of laugh, compared to Lee's other car, his Masi GLHS must just seem slow when he drives it. He tells me he just loves the car though. Lee's other car is arguably the fastest pump gas car in the country. Ran a 7.99 on 93 octane fuel! Yikes:hail:

Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
1992 Daytona IROC R/T US dealer show car-white - formerly owned by Bill Sizemore-currently owned by my customer Alex Sharp of R.I.- need info/history on this car if anyone has it as attempts to contact Bill sizemore have failed. I just finished rebuilding the motor on it-found some interesting stuff on the head i.e stampings(non factory) port work that looks to be cnc as each port is identical and no grind/polishing marks and heat tabs but it is correct date code for the car.
alex sharp also own a 1989 CSX w/cruise control is this a standard option on CSX's ?

Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
well its not turbo, but has anyone seen the early 90's magazine with the lamborghini powered daytona in it? either way i think its pretty unique and rare. the issue also has a couple other pages with a red and white daytona, both being sheblys i believe.

The CC was dealer installed.
Barry, sorry I didn't see your post sooner but yes, the Masi-Powered Omni GLHS was at Carlisle this year. A group of us were looking at it trying to figure out what it had in it and lone, behold, you look down through the hoodgrate and see those odd looking valve covers, YIKES! :eek:
Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
Billy, would mine fit in here LOL

Thats what I tought:thumb: but Mini me and Mean Mini ran about the same time and Gus and I would say he was the fastest dodge and I was the fastest Ply. or was it the other way. LOL. Sitting hear now thinking nether one would be in the top 10 fastest vans in 2008. But if Gus was still with us I'm sure he would still be "leading" the pack.:clap:
Re: WANTED! List of Unique and Historical Shelby Dodges / Turbo Mopars!
Some of Gus will *always* be with this community:amen:
