    1990 VNT Shadow

    Does anyone have the official production number breakdown by color, options and such? I know there were 30 competition package cars and I guess some 4-dr cars but how many of each? I'm just trying to know my car better. Any info will be appreciated!

    5 million you should sell it to me and get something rare that doesn't have this girl shelby name written all over the interior.

    LOL.. I must be one of the few people that actually like the vnt's. My csx was hands down the most reliable car I've had to date and I ran it pretty hard. I don't plan to sell this car. I know it's a LOT more rare than my csx and maybe even more than I believe it is since it's on a disposable platform and doesn't say Shelby everywhere...

    I have 2, myself.

    When *I* was the one that got the production #s from Chrysler around '98, I asked them for a color breakedown. They told me the "books' didn't give them that info. Yet, years later, I see other TM's with a color breakdown.

    FWIW: Red is the most common color, followed by black. White and silver follow up the rear.

    Re: 1990 VNT Shadow

    So the 141 total production for 1990 is accurate minus the 30 competition cars. How many of the remaining 111 were 4-drs?

    Nobody knows. The woman I spoke with back in '98 told me 30 out of the 141 were the cp cars, yet when I got the actual printout.... the #s came out to 27. They told me that the #s were different because there were no 4-door vnt cars according to their books. Yet, we have seen 1-2 were actually made. Maybe that 27 and 30 ting means there are 3 4-doors?

    Re: 1990 VNT Shadow

    hmm.. the 4-dr I saw online was an ES tho... can't be a cp? I'm amazed since I've seen very detailed breakdowns of the glh and shelby chargers amongst others but none on the vnt shadows. Odd..

    Re: 1990 VNT Shadow

    I always wondered what the production numbers of the 4-door VNTs were too. My brother has one of the few VNT 4-doors and no one seems to know much about them. The guy he bought it from said there were 7 made for the Chrysler executives and they were given a 1 year lease and then they were sold to the public after the lease was up. I don't know if this information is credible but thats the most I have heard.

    You should post pics interior/exterior/underhood. I'd like to see that.

    That is a REALLY cool find! I didn't think I'd dig the 4-dr but seeing it.. I was WAAAY wrong. Is that the original paint/decals? The reason I ask is that I know mine has and some of the decals aren't there and one isn't like the others I've seen. Very nice find!

    That's the engine bay of my '90 competition package VNT Shadow. I started tearing into the drivetrain 2-1/2 years ago, and after the divorce... that's as far as I got! She's all dusty right now... and the rear end is apart... I may be doing the cardinal sin thing and putting a T-III between the fenders.

    My ES VNT may be for sale.... arizona car all in primer. Need to thin the herd.

    The paint and decals are all factory as far as I know. Can't wait to see what it looks like after the new rockers get put on and the rest of the rust fixed and the new paint and decals. I will try to get pictures of the interior this weekend and post them.

    I just wish we could find out more about it, the guy my brother bought it from said it was 1 of 7 made.

    Don't feel too bad and I'd NEVER thought I'd be saying this about my '89 CSX but I'm doing a T3 swap and it's not as rare as yours... LOL I think a T3 CSX is the end-all be-all street/strip car. I really do! BUT I do love the T4 as well more street than strip but I've heard of some people into 13's which to me, ain't bad!

    My car has had paint work. It doesn't look like it's been banged or anything but decals are missing and some aren't right, I THINK... Anyone have old pics of these cars? I noticed yours has a stripe down the belt line and door decals. Mine doesn't, should it?

    Yeah, I've never seen a turbo four door and that looks way nice. Awesome find!

    I do believe that the VNT ES cars are supposed to have the bletline and door decals, you can get the from positive impressions. Thats where my brother is getting his from.

    Eh.. I think I'm going to leave it the way it is. It'll be a rather innocuous sleeper and I kinda like it. It isn't going to be completely stock anyway, it'll be massaged so why not let it look the part? I do need to locate some center caps for the pumpers. Anyone know if the 15" caps differ from the 16" ones?
