Bought my first Shelby!

[dodgeshadowchik]

Yesterday I picked up my very first Shelby (and true "turbododge" for that matter.) ! It is a 1989 Shelby CSX-VNT. The car has all the Shelby items including the "Shelby" floormats! It does need cosmetic tlc (i.e front and rear skirts) and a good bath, tho. I'm so thrilled as I've been trying to buy one for years now!

I have pics of that car! It does need some TLC. Glad to see Cindy got it to a good home!

I was wondering if that came from Cindy, the other cars in the background and the brand X pickup looked familiar...

Looks like a good project car, a little TLC and it will be really nice. I haven't owned an 89 CSX yet and want to get one eventually also.

Only thing I saw wrong with it she stated. The mats where probably the worst part of the interior(nothing unexpecting there) The car looked in need of a good bath and it would sparkle again. The interior would look much better with a detailed vacuuming and cleaning. The car was one I would have taken home with me if I had brought a truck/trailer and make check book... Never again will I carry cash on a road trip, would have even loved the lancer she was selling. That thing was mint!

Same here. I was wondering where I saw that modified front spoiler before.

I knew someone would reconize it as one of Cindy's cars. I'll be buying to some new tires here shortly so i can actually drive it and see what else it needs. The fiberrides are comming off and I'm putting some aftermarket 15's on. After seeing how hard those wheels are to come by, I don't want to use them. lol! I think it's #78; but I need to look again.

And no this car will not get a roof scoop.

For once I own an older dodge that's not a 3.0L V6! Allthough, I'm not giving up on the blue shadow v6 turbo project.

Did you see the rims on James VNT? Those looked great on his. Cindy didnt seem to pleased, she said those where her track tires he was using lol.

Nice buy, congrats.

I was wondering about your new sig pic

Very nice. '89 CSX's are my favorite Shelby Dodges - good luck fixing it up!

[GLHNSLHT2]

The fiberrides are actually heavier than crabs.

[dodgeshadowchik]

here's some more pics I took of the car. It's also #79, not 78.






I did not see the rims on James' CSX, as I met them in Illinois to pick this car up. I did hear about it, tho. I think Cindy wants her rims back. lol!

Besides the front facia that's one sweet car. I envy you

That is what she told me too. lol If you ever get to see his 89 before me(planning on going back for that dyno!) grab some pics if you can. He had locked the doors so Cindy couldnt show me under the hood. She shared alittle info like 250HP on a VNT! Pretty impressive there. What are your plans with your new ride, besides the front and rear bumper replacement ?

[BadAssPerformance]

Sweet!

btw, you need a new avatar now too
