The Shelby CSX-VNT Owner's Thread

Whatever you need man! Just let me know

[CNH320]

I had a couple questions about my CSX, I noticed there are two "third" brake lights, one on the decklid under the spoiler and one in the back window. Is that right? Also underhood there is the vacuum routing diagram on the inside of the hood but isnt there also supposed to be another decal on the rad core support? Or were these combined for 1989?

Thanks!

I think when Shelby had them reinspected they made him add the extra one because the spoiler obstructed the view of the sock 3rd light setup.

AFAIK Beside the underhood diagram the only other decal in the engine bay is the caution sticker on the fan shroud.

Does anyone need a CSX grill? Thought I'd ask here before I put it in the for sale section. SOLD

Post up the pics. If its repairable, thats a good price.

Yes its repairable for sure. In the first pic I'm actually holding the grill flexed to reveal the crack. As you can see in the third pic it all lays back together perfect and there is no stretching or distortion of the material at all.

sorry,
whats that little piece in the last pic?

Looks like the side of the grille that slides into the header panel so that the two bolts fasten it to the header panel?

Exactly! Mounting tab for the driver's side.

BTW Lance, You posted a pic one time of a little flat metal piece you found laying loose in your car. Did you ever figure out where it goes? The other day I noticed the same pice in my car, it is mounted to the back of the stereo/HVAC control trim plate just above the ash tray. Looks like its just to stiffen that area.

Yeah, those things sure are brittle!!

I want to rant real quick. These Chrysler engineers of the 80s should've been pegged by the stupid parts they created. Working on a CSX today, wanted to pop those black moldings that go along the door and quarter panel windows. Did they design these so that no one could them them off without cracking the white plastic clips underneath?!?!? All I can say is OMIN_POTENT, DO YOU HEAR ME?! PLEASE MAKE A 89 CSX CLIP KIT LIKE YOU DID FOR THE L-BODIES!


That's all.

[Badger]

a haaa!!! I believe you are correct sir.

[1FastCSX289]

Cracked in the same places as mine. Not a hard fix though. I wish i had 75 bucks burning a hole.
